what are you making monday

i had a little go at stitching a bird and it gave me the pips, so i went back and embellished more of these little chicks..

and then i had some fun playing with paper and other bits and pieces and made these....

and last night i got restless and painted up these beauties ready for their dresses tonight while desperate housewives is on ~_~

i am having so much fun with each of these craftings, i have more ideas in my mind but not enough hours in the day!

so what are you making this Monday??

more craftin fun

i have been at it again....i cant get enough of these little chicks on sticks.

i am the first to admit that there is nothing hard about what i am doing and any monkey with glue could do the same...but when someone else does it for you why would you.

i am having making other bits and pieces too but the rainy weather means that my photos don't come up very well.

i am working on perfecting these little toadstools which i crafted out of Styrofoam balls which i want to put in a little terrarium of sorts.

above all i am having fun...i am starting to get into being a stay at home mum...the guilt is the biggest hurdle. when you have worked since you were 14 staying at home and not bringing in a steady income seems wrong. but i have to remind myself that being a mother and a house wife is a full time job in itself. i know that i will have to work at some stage but it will be on my terms and conditions with no strings attached.

thanks for listening, you guys are GREAT!

off to make som fru fru tags (well at least i hope they turn out shabby/vintage)

geek chick is in da house

i know that Easter is still a little while away but i have started making a few little bits and pieces to add to my online shops. i have only had a few sales but those few sales have made me so very happy, sort of addictive really. the problem with hand made as opposed to commercially made is that i am constantly questioning myself whether other people would be interested in my taste or work. i guess if i add my work to my shops it isn't costing me that much and who knows someone might just like what i have to offer. ANYHOW... i have popped this little fella in the shops

i like to call him Geek Chick @_@ he is a keen gardener and an avid reader as you can well imagine :) he did have a sister who liked to party. she was one of my earliest sales... and lives over here.

here is party chick next to super chick who also flew away to live with someone else (forgotten who sorry) however Easter bunny chick is still available and would love to fly to a new home

aren't they the sweetest, such charisma, such charm! i have also been busy using the machine, yes i know shock horror! i made a set of Easter themed bunting which will be in my shops after this post as i intend on adding it tonight.

pretty blues and pinks

would brighten up any Easter display or simply keep it up all year round. bunnies and teddies holding on tight to their balloons

7 scrummy flags on white tape.

feels great to have actually made something. i need to get my groove on and make some more, i would like to hold a market stall before Easter...depends on how much i can make! i have so many ideas and started projects i just need more hours in the day when i am not mother, house cleaner and wife #_#

off to list that bunting into the shops.

have a great week ahead.

anything you can do i can do better...

my last little chick on a stick has been placed in my etsy shop. this little one is suffering from an identity crisis and thinks she can deliver the eggs faster than the Easter bunny.

i just love her little cotton bud tail!

i took this photo before i wrapped up ~party chick~ who is flying away to her new owner (well when i say flying i dont mean literally flying, as we all know that chickens cant fly very far)

arent they sweet!

nice buns!!

well i am off to do more school work, blah blah blah.

super chick

i had a dream that someone would buy my little party chick... and it came true!! my gorgeous niece renata from natas little place (who is a talented jewellery maker and miniature bead artist) couldnt resist the little chick on a stick from the previous post.

well i have been at it again and have come up with.. super chick!

she will deliver your eggs faster than the speed of light! she is oh so sweet and so much fun to dress. it was very fiddly creating such small eye holes in that mask but worth it. she comes complete with removable cape and is in my etsy shop right now.

i have tried to make up for the american dollar by not including shipping for aussie customers.

i have something different in store for the next chick on a stick and would be happy to take custom made orders, the ideas are endless.

enjoy your weekend, i am!!!

chick on a stick

look what i added to my etsy shop today...

this little chick on a stick is ready to fly to your Easter party. she will brighten up any Easter basket or display and is just so dang cute.

it was so much fun stitching her little removable party hat!

i know that Easter is still a little while away, but...

i also added my first softie Easter egg decoration ~tweet dreams~ she is part of a series but could also be bought by herself. it is a nice feeling to have a few items for sale, now just if i could sell a few :)

calico on the front, cotton on the back.

hand stitched felted chicken.

each egg has the same backing fabric.

enjoy your weekend i know i will.
