My little corner....


Hi gorgeous followers :)
I thought for today I would give you a little tour of my little craft-studio corner....

in front of my table I have a window... the view is not glamorous.... I can see a yellow wall that divides me and my neighbors house.... but I put it prettier with my banner on :)
Just forget to say that my little corner is really in a corner.... my living room is the spot!
Behind me there is the TV, couches and all that a normal living room has.
This is how my table looks like when I'm creating something cute... confusion and more confusion.
Because I don't have a lot of space I managed to get this table that folds when not in use. Usually I put there all the bits and bobs that I need to use at that time. 
My collection of scissors and my most helpful friend the octopus pin cushion!

My collection of felt, all tidy in a wooden box.
My inspiration/sample corner....



And when I'm done.... my table looks very tidy.... awaiting for a new challenge!


It would be nice to see more craft-studio corners from you guys.... please do post and send me a message so we can all have a peep :)

Have a lot of other post to do here.... lots of new goodies that I made that I just posted on Facebook and not here.... Until next week I will try to update all the info here....

Felt "rag" Doll




Easter finished yesterday, but here in South Africa we are still on holiday... for every time that a public holiday falls on a Sunday, we have a day of goodwill on Monday.... got to love doing the less possible ;)

This long weekend was fun, girls eating chocolate until they actually drop.....
lunch with family and friends from long distance. It was so nice to see all of them.


What I made?.... You know I can't stay 1 day away from my lovely felt!
Made this doll that is a sample for a client....
With luck if she likes it.... there will be a couple of posts about it, fingers crossed.
Now for the photos, right?






See you....

Easter bunny teachers gift


Today is the last day for the first term here in ZA.
These holidays are for the Easter break.

So..... Yesterday I had to interrupt my work... to do another cute work.
My girls went on the net, saw a photo of a cute bunny... and.... "please mommy can you do this one for us , so we can give to teacher tomorrow"..... What?!?!

So there I was, cutting fast and sewing even faster.......

But it came out so cute!


..... made two....
They went with a little chocolate... a Easter gift for the teacher....



Check the little tail on the back.... just adorable!



....now back to the normal schedule....

Crochet and Mobile



Well, it looks like I've been looking at my selfie for 10 days, because there is no other new post ;)
The new post it will be today, Horray!

Finish during the weekend 1 mobile with cute bunnies and adorable sheeps. And finished also the Christening crochet blanket that I started at the end February. It was a relaxing and enjoyable work to do, but to be sincere this weekend I had to just finish it....it was getting a little bit bored...  I'm starting to know myself a little when a project is taking too long, and I just have to start something new.... please :)

So here are the photos for today....



Really don't know how to take photos of crochet.... this was the best of me. The blanket is just breathtaking!





Then the mobile








These two items were ordered by my girls ballet teacher... they will go to India for her son's first baby.

Hope they like it...
