Baby Mary Jane Shoes

My Jessie girl perusing for crochet patterns and fell in love with these booties to practice her crochet. She did really well and then stole my little fox buttons. 

I was inspired also and had to have a go myself. Here is the pattern we followed by 1dogwoof and her beautiful double-strapped-baby-mary-janes-crochet-pattern

We loved it and may make some more for our new baby in the family. (Second cousin for those that know us). wink wink.

Jessie's version of the little booties. I think they're beautiful.

The grey white colours matched the tiny
fox buttons, my mum gave me for Christmas.

My version of the little booties, I stole two of hers back...

I loved them, and again they are fast enough for me to sit down
and complete one bootie. We hope "SHE and new hubby"
loves them. Trying to keep to a neutral colour is going to be a tricky one.

Have fun looking around and if you need anything just holler. Email me here for more enquiries

Two little bluebirds

 Here is what I finished this last week. Two gorgeous little blue wrens. Inspired by the many beautiful blue wrens flitting the front lawn, while the cat sleeps on the swing chair on the front porch.

 I have also completed another pair of booties. Took me less time sewn on the sewing machine than by hand. But i am not so keen on them.They are still beautiful, they just look more factory made than handmade...

 Three little singing girls. I found a gorgeous site winter carolers here. They were quite easy to make. I have made them for our christmas tree this year. A bit early maybe, but they were soo cute I couldn't wait. I might have to make some for little presents...

 I so loved these tooo. Inspired by a little pic that popped up in my searching for cushions...I have two pinks ones to complete now...

here they are done...

And that is about it for now.
I am working on two leadlight windows with my baby home from school sick today, not getting a lot done though. She is watching Dora while trying not to fall asleep in the sun on the couch. I so want to get outside and garden but it is too far away from my sickie...Hope she gets better soon, deary little thing...
Maybe a pink house will fix her up for a little bit.
Cheers for now tam.

My week of completions...

This week I completed a few things yay...
But first this is a pic of a little upcycled bag with outside pocket and raggy plaited handle. Jess loves it to store her DS. We made this at her girlfriends house.

A pair of new booties knitted and felted, long time taken. This is the pattern I made for a pair of booties awhile ago and through the felting process, they went haywire. I threw them away when they went out of shape. But this wool worked. The brown booties I sewed together with blanket stitch and beautiful green thread. Love these too. It took longer to sew up than I expected, but was worth the effort.

Another little love of paper, I made for me. I was thinking of selling this one but, I love it too much...

Photos don't do it justice, or I am just a horrible photographer, lol.

some more beaut flowers. love this red.

and another thing I had put away because I didn't know what to do with it. The girls were beading necklaces over the weekend and I thought "that's it". A necklace made out of paper in a choker style. Not to be worn on wet days.

More flowers and musical lillies.

A little cute birdy I knitted from scraps after I completed the little shoulder bag. Pictured below.

Another horse with matching card.

The shoulder bag I knitted with three strands of different wool - stash busting. I designed and knitted as I went along. Very exciting when I put it together and it worked. I embellished with a five petal knitted flower too.

And one more thing I had put away was this. A five intersecting tetrahedra. I couldn't resist finishing it on Friday while Bo was making paper chains at the table. I was supposed to be tidying the house. But it took my fancy to complete it...Took me 3 hours to put in the last two tetrahedras. Again, so much for house work.

The end...
I'd better get back to cleaning now, its Monday...lol have fun. cheers tam.
