It’s my mum’s birthday today. She lives about 2000 km’s away. As she is coming to visit next week, I’m making her wait for her presents. So I’ve got a couple of extra days to finish up all our crafting. Poor Nanny (or Lucky Nanny, depending on your opinion) is only getting hand crafted items this year, as we are on a saving spree…….

With no further ado, let me introduce -

Princess One with the grocery bag hand painted by her, and sewn by me. Fully lined, with extra long handles.

Princess Two with a pillow. Design drawn on paper by her, then transferred onto the muslin, hand sewn over the lines of the drawing and made into a pillow by me. It’s her Grandpa. He’s a bit off centre unfortunately.

A piece of fabric destined to be a purse, but currently just a piece of fabric with a painting by Princess Two on it. It’s a whale fish she said. We use masking tape on the fabric to create the lovely crisp rectangle.

Nanny the doll. She’s weighted with plastic filling beads so she sits nicely. Her head has yet to be sewn up.
