Camera Strap

Now I didn't make this one but it is so dang cute I just had to show it. I found
this one at a blog i like to look at called Originate and Renovate.

A camera strap is on my lists of to makes, and I really like this one!

What do you think. Have any of you out there made one you can link to or
link to other sites ones that you have really liked. Let me know.

Show and Tell.

Here is a couple of stockings I made for my

neices for Christmas.

This was a rush job as usual but I am really

happy with how they turned out. Over again I

would have lined them, but I thought the towelling

would be heavy enough, but I think lining would

have made them look a bit more finished.

I filled them with presents and had my

fingers crossed that the would actually

arrive in the mail before xmas and

thankfully they arrived the day before

xmas eve.

Emmas said the girls loved them and

had them hung at the end of their beds

for Santa!

A giveaway as promised..............

Hair Straightner Pouch

I made these pouches a couple of months

ago as my GHD was getting wrecked

getting thrown in the port all the time.

While I was at it I made one for a

friend and a family member as well.

Would you like one?

I am giving one away and all

you have to do is become a

follower and leave a comment!

That easy.

The best thing I have found

with this is because it is padded

I can wrap the cord around the

handle (not the wand) and

while the wand is still warm,

be able to throw it in the

pouch and be on my

merry way. You don't

have to leave it out of your port

until it's cool.

While I am typing this the torrential rain

is so loud and the office is shaking,

I should have got home before it hit!

Oh well it will be straight into the shower.

Thanks for looking and good luck to all!

Winner will be drawn Wednesday the 5th January.

Messenger Bag Redo

We got presented with these messenger

bags full of lots of goodies at the

NTCA (Northern Territory's Cattleman's Association)

Conference this year.

They are great bags and I use

it all the time.

I wanted to take it to Japan

as I thought it would be

great on the plane and

walking around, and it

was, when I didn't have

too much stuff in it, hey

Fi!

I can understand promoting

your sponsors, it's a great

idea, but sorry guys it's

just too darn ugly for a girl

to be seen in Japan with, right!

So this is what I did!

What do you think? Wouldn't

know it was the same bag would you.

Actually showed it to the CEO of the NTCA

and he didn't have a clue.

I picked one of my favourite fabrics

that I purchased at Spotlight, ironed

the edges in and sewed the hem.

I then put double sided iron on

stuff on there and ironed it onto

the bag. Finished it off with a

twisted fabric flower which

you can find many tutorials

for them all over the blogosphere.

I think it Rocks!

Now have a look back tomorrow as I

have a GREAT giveaway.

Too Cute!

This is my gorgeous 6 month old niece

Bella.

I got this cute little romper suit for her,

very cute IRL, and wanted to make

a headband for her to match it.

If you look closely you can see the

flowers on the suit. I cut a

flower out of cream felt and

a centre for the flower out

of pink, the I sewed around

the flower edge and centre

in black to match the

suit. I then used fabric

stiffener to make the flower

stiff and stand up a bit.

To finish it off I sewed a

safety pin on the back, so it

can be removed so the head

band can be washed or so

you can attach other things

to the head band.

Pretty Cute for something

that took about 10mins to make!

The headband I mean, not the baby!

Another easy one.

This one is for the boys. I purchased some shorts fabric and some pre-made
t-shirts, as you can see by the photo above I cut a piece of the fabric out
to match the shorts and sewed it to the front.

Here are the shorts. I love this fabric, shame my boys are too old for
it now. Whaddya think Todd would you like a pair of shorts in this fabric?

These are so easy!

A couple of ladies and I held a stall in the community a couple of months ago
and sold a few different bits and pieces. I wanted to whip up some kids
clothes and I found this shirred fabric at Spotlight by the metre.

Just cut enough for a dress sew up the side, cut a strip off the
bottom to use as straps at the top and hem the bottom. Walla!!!!

Just one hint, the bottom tends to be a little straight with not a lot
of movement room so get a little extra fabric and from the
elastic down cut out in a triangle shape or bell shape, so there is
more width for movement. This came in an array of colours
and was very popular with the little girls.

Look what I have been up to!

Well as mentioned in an earlier post, each year I like to learn something new,
so this year I decided to learn how to crochet, a lady on the station started me
and at this stage I only know how to do single crochet and double crochet,
but it's a start right.



I'm a whizz at scarves, and here is the first one I made. Not a lot of call for scarves up here, so maybe a scarf is coming someones way for Christmas. ;--)
