Baby Bib Gift

There are some brill tutorials and templates out there for making bibs for babies... like here and here. I tweeked the sizing a little bit to make mine a tad longer than the patterns.

I've used a teal blue dotty fabric and glittery white towel for the back piece, seeing as the gender of the baby this is for is unknown it made life much harder picking fabrics, what exactly counts as neutral nowadays? So with that in mind I hand drew a teddy on some felt, pieced, layered and then hand sew it onto the bib, everyone loves teddies right? I've used a small metal snap as the closure for the bib, just to make sure it's secure when being worn.

Now I just got to hope that my friends like it when I give it to them. If they do then I may just have to whip up more for other friends who are expecting soon!


Ok so now I have entered the bib into Better Life Bags Pinterest Challenge on Facebook and I need as many people as possible to like my baby bib in order to win a Better Life Bag. Please go like Better Life Bags on Facebook here and then like my photo here. Pretty pretty please with loads of cherries on top!

Crafty Creations Challenge - Boyz To Men

This weeks challenge over at Crafty Creations is 'Boyz To Men', this is my chance to share my Fathers Day cards I made... ok so I don't have 3 dad's just to clear that one up... the blue and gold plane card is for my dad, the cyan plane for my boyfriend's dad and the Edwin magnolia stamp image was for his stepdad. Cards for blokes= nightmare.... making 3 blokes cards= my worst nightmare! So awkward to make something for guys, everything comes with flowers and girly colours... there's a real shortage of crafting things for guys who aren't into golf, fishing or football!

For my dad (thank god he's into planes and flying or I'd have zero ideas!)...

For his dad....

For his stepdad...

Featured Over At Aunt Pegs

Wow I never thought 6 months after I posted anything on this blog that people would still be talking about it... but I'm wrong (for a change lol)! This morning I woke up to an email from Amber over at Aunt Peg's Handmade Jewelry and Treasures saying that today they were featuring me and one of my tutorials... can anyone guess which it is?

Yes it's the infamous Anthro Power of 3 knockoff I did back in January, if anybody missed it the tutorial is here.

Never though I'd see my work kicking around people's interest this long, to be honest I'm quite proud of myself for this tutorial it's been featured across quite a few blogs now and is on quite a few people's pinterest boards too.
So thanks to Aunt Peg's for featuring me!
