More longies

I told you you'd see more longies :P

July 2008 I made these longies for Rheya

Newborn longies

I found out I was pregnant with a second child and made these in celebration. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in miscarriage and the longies went missing. They are somewhere in my house and I'm sure they'll turn up, but they are definately too small for my not-so-little miss now.

Group hug

A really lovely lady I know through a forum got some bad news so a bunch of us clubbed together and made her a blanket.

This was my contribution. I'll see if I can find a picture of the whole thing together, watch this space.

Bag swap

Oh yeah I got the swap bug.

I made this for my recipient in April 2008. I liked it so much that I thought about keeping it..ha!

Washcloths

The first craft swap I took part in was in March 2008 for a washcloth. I made a couple of washcloths, but finally settled on sending the bright orange one.

The colours are just amazing

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.

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
