I Heart Applique



A little crafty project I really enjoy is applique. Nothing too tricky or complicated. Just a simple shape, on a tee, cushion, tote...or anything really. And I love to blanket stitch. I find it quite relaxing and satisfying, and most of the time I like to finish off the applique with a blanket stitch around the edge. But not always, because it isn't essential, and it can take a little while to do.


This heart was cut from a little piece of vintage cotton fabric, and the finished tee is a gift for a friend's baby girl.

On another note, last night I set up a flickr account and had a go at uploading a few photos. I found it really easy to use, and I loved the editing program picnik. However when I tried to find the images from blogger and insert them into a post, I couldn't find a way to make it work. Does anyone do this? Is it possible?

Baby Love

There have been a few little bundles of joy arriving around us lately...most recently one little baby girl, and two brand new baby boys.


Definitely an opportunity for a bit more card making!


Paper bunting...ribbon...and alphabet rub-ons...



...fabric with cute baby motifs...embossing...hand stitching on card...ribbon and buttons...


...die-cut circles for tags...embossing and string.


And who can resist tiny baby size crochet beanies?


As cute as the tiny babies themselves :)
