Folksy Friday - Pretty in Pink..(and green!)

Following on from my Nursery post earlier in the week, this weeks Folksy Friday are my top picks of the prettiest items in pale pinks and greens, and my favourite colour combination for a little girls room!

I love this Small Green and pink cotton Bunting from Felt Fancies..its just too pretty!And who wouldn't love this gorgeous babycord and velvet pig by Dottie Doodle!Gorgeous Pink and Green Baby Cube by TopCat's CornerStunning Baby Hat and Booties by Sweetpea Family

I just love this colouring bag with pad from Victoria Blackshaw Bespoke Crafts..I have my eye on one for my nieces birthday in November!

And this cute Heart Notebook from Jessicas Jotters would make the perfect accompaniment!
Happy Folksy Friday!!

Sugar and Spice..

I'm expecting baby number two in September, and being the most impatient person in the world we found our we're expecting a girl at our 20 week scan (oh how I admire those that can wait 9 months for the suprise..I wish I had that willpower!) so after 2 years of all things blue I have finally allowed myself a little girly indulgence!

Although lovely, baby bedding is ridiculoulsy expensive (how can an adults king size duvet cover or throw be half the price of a teeny tiny baby one?!) so I have made a cute bumper and some drapes for our lovely white crib, which also meant I could pick the colours I wanted..my favourites, pink, cream and green. The fabric I've used is from Laura Ashley, and called Emse (which I picked up half a metre of in the sale..) and I've teemed it with some green and pink polka dot fabrics from my local fabric shop. In total it cost me under £10 to make, and I'm very pleased with the pretty result!

My sewing skills don't quite stetch to grobags - so I have also ordered this beautiful sleeping bag from izziwotnot, brand new for a bargain £10 on ebay..its so pretty!

Lastly, for this weeks Folksy Friday I'm going to be scouring Folksy for some cute co-ordinating toys and accessories..after last weeks car theme it will be good to regain some balance! Watch this space..

Folksy Friday - Brum Brum!!

It is my sons 2nd birthday a month today, and like most boys his age he is completly obsessed with cars! So todays Folksy Friday has a four wheeled theme, (which also gives me a good excuse to browse for ideal presents for him in the meantime..) Fasten your seatbelts!!

Elephants on Parade - Part Two!

Following on from my folksy friday post last week, and much hard work over the weekend (including many new anniversary designs, but thats another thread entirely..!) I finally have some Elephant designs of my own finished. At present they are all hand cut paper designs, but I intend to expand this range to use handmade felt, and machine appliqued fabric designs sewn onto card, but being busy with orders means this will have to wait a while! (Not that I'm complaining..bless you ebay..)

Folksy friday - Elephants on parade!!

Earlier in the week I received a commission for an elephant design keepsake box. I was so pleased with the outcome I have been inspired to create a new range of elephant designs which I'll work on this week. But for now I've been checking out all the other elephan-tastic designs which can be found on Folksy!!
