sweet smelling birds and fairy hearts

i am super dooper lucky to have 3 great sisters (all older than me) whom i adore so very much. narelle will be 39 on the 8th of april and i thought, instead of the usual lotto or scratchie ticket we buy, i would make her something to keep forever. now i know that my hearts and birds are nothing spectacular and that any old fool with ten fingers could stitch their own, but everything i make is made with love and even more so this time as this present is for my gorgeous sister.

i added a hint of lavender to both of these softies, they are sure to freshen the room or cupboard.

if i could spend 'saint kevins' stimulus money ($900) any way i want, it would be on a digital SLR camera but alas we are going to be sensible and pay off the remaining $700 we owe on the air conditioner:( anyhoo here are some crappy photos of my lovelies.

this fabric really is spectacular...

however the camera work and lighting doesn't do it justice.

this is the reverse side, more fairies holding all sorts of flowers.

introducing ~Violette~

all of my birds come with a profile which gives you a hint of their personality.

here she is dreaming of those lollipops!! mmmm

another bad photo... bad lighting which doesn't show the real colours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARELLE
