i have never been able to do just one thing at a time, so in between making birds, bushkas and hearts, i am working on a stitching project which is hidden underneath everything...
i bought some phone charms as suggested by the gorgeous Trixi from coloured buttons. these two babushkas will not become brooches but i am attempting to attach the phone charms some how. (Trixi will leave a useful comment for sure) i love making my simple hearts and birds, i add a hint of lavender which makes them perfect to freshen up your cupboard or drawer. i hope to add these to my etsy shop as soon as possible and hope that they sell :)
and of course while i stitch i like to thumb through any type of magazine and this little something grabbed my attention in the IKEA catalogue. click on it to get a better look but it would really go well in the rumpus room that mister moo is creating for our family. i have already requested that he include a little hidey-hole for the girls in one corner. he has it all under control but just imagine sitting in one of these little pod chairs with the top pulled down! 
and here is my current pin cushion... and you will have to go here to see my new one.. yes i was lucky enough to win a pin cushion plus some other lovely items from lisas give away over at olive grove primitives. do yourself a favour and vist her blog which will provide you with links to her other blogs. hope you have a creative weekend.

You are the busybee...
ReplyDeleteYou are so passionate bout what you do!
Love the phone charm idea...Very good!
Rosie, probably the easiest way to attach the little b's to the phone tag is to put a jump ring through the felt and then attach a parrot clasp to the jump ring. Then you can just clip the babushka on and off the phone tag. It's pretty straightforward but let me know if you have any problems :)
ReplyDeleteYes you are a crafty one.I found some bookends online I would love to make.Check out my blog maybe youm would be interested as well.I thought of you when I posted them.I think they are sweet.Id like to make mine alot smaller as my bookshelf is small.Have a great weekend with the family!
ReplyDeleteYikes Rosie, I just thought (I'm a little slow sometimes) you probably don't have a jump ring and parrot clasp and you want to make your babushka now! So, instead take a thin piece of ribbon, make it into a small loop and pin it between the front and back materials of your babushka. Sew into place. Then you just open the jump ring on your phone tag and slip the loop on. Hope this is clear, if not you know what to do!
