Easter
I wanted to make my daughter, Rheya, am Easter basket filled with lots of goodies, rather than one meaningless chocolate egg.
So when I saw this in the window of a flourist I was grabbed it quickly.
It would contain some eggs but they wouldn't be chocolate.
My Nanna used to make these chicks for us when we were kids. I just had to make some for my daughter.
the finished basket. If you look in the middle I also crocheted a chick.

G'Day
My beautiful cousin Sonya announced that she was uprooting and starting a new life in Australia in January 2008. I couldn't have been happier for her. What a great opportunity.
I wanted to make her a very special card and this is what I came up with. I was still new to cardmaking at this point remember ;)
I didn't get a proper picture of it because I finished it just in time to sign it and put it in it's envelope, so this is taken in the restaurant, after I'd given it to her

First soaker
Slippery slope into yarnville
I'm an avid cloth nappy user and as any cloth addict will tell you, wool makes an excellent cover for fitted nappies (nappies without a waterproof layer).
A quick lesson in wool
Longies = trousers made from wool, can be either knitted or crocheted
Shorties = as the name suggests, these are shorts made from wool
Soaker = A pair of pants made of wool, they literally cover the nappy
Skirty = can you guess? Yes a skirt made with wool. This can be with a soaker underneath or without
You can also get variations of these, crops, boardies, longies with a skirt over the top, sleep bags and even longies with tails and dinosaur scales.
Why am I tell you all this you ask?
Well I decided to have a go at making Rheya a pair back in October 2007. I've been hooked ever since and you'll see many more nappy covers made of wool.
I did make a faux par with this first pair and bought acrylic yarn, but as it was cheap it was a good practice.
I also made the rise far too big, but you live and learn right?
and the action shots

Happy Birthday to Cath
Whilst browsing through Ebay I came across a stamp that just screamed out "IN-LAW'S!!!"
They're a very musical bunch so when I saw a Happy Birthday stamp set on a music sheet background with a treble clef to one side I just had to get it for them.
Cath, my Nana-in-law's Birthday was coming up (August 2007) so I made this card for her.
my daughter Rheya contributed as you can see

Thank you card
My sister got married in July 2007...Hurrah!
We got stuck for a babysitter for the night do and our friends Mother kindly offered to watch Rheya for us since she was watching her Grandson anyway.
To say thank you for her kind offer I made her this card. A light improvement on the other cards don't you think?

My first attempt at card making
In June 2007 I bought this card making kit on a whim
and so began my venture into card making.
These are the first cards I ever made. I do get better with time I promise.
This was made for my husband for Father's Day from our daughter Rheya.
this one was for one of my 2 step-dads (well one is an ex-step dad)
and this one was for the other step-dad
I apologise for things not being in any particular order at the moment. I have a lot to show you so it's probably going to take a while to go back through my pictures.
