My apologies for my long absence.
As you may know i moved our family from Melbourne to the gold coast 4 years ago to look after my husbands 2 nephews and niece after they were orphaned.Tragically both their parents died of cancer 5 years apart .
After 4 years with us they have all come of age and we have had to return to Melbourne due to financial constraints.
The last 6 months have been difficult for everyone but I couldn't have got through it without Mia and my amazing crafting women friends who were so generous and loving and supportive.
So although we are all still recovering i am happy to say this blog is up and running again and i have alot of projects to share with you from the past 12 months.We are also looking forward to offering some of our frequently requested kits for sale thru this blog.

birthday celebration craft

Mia and I made some special peices this year for some special people.

We began by making 2 sets of birthday celebration props for Prep.

The birthday angel .

 

The rainbow spiral birthday mat.

The birthday crown.

The rainbow silk birthday cape.

And the rainbow bridge story mat with a mum and a dad, a cradle, an angel, and a wee babe.

And here is my sweet son at his celebration!

term 4 2010

Greetings dear crafters,

It has been a long time since my last post .

Fortunately there has been no gap in the creating of projects and the giving of workshops!

 I have  many many  projects to share with you! 

I hope they inspire and delight you as much as they have us.

Our first project in term 4 was Mias beautiful affirmation pocket friends.

These sweet tiny pocket folk fit perfectly into the hand (and pocket) of a child.

They are a simple friendly reminder to a child of a small message of affirmation to help them deal with what might be a difficult time or a hard lesson to learn.

What a lovely way for a child to be reminded to be brave in the face of fear or to believe in themselves!

Each one is also accompanied by a simple poem of affirmation.

They were so popular with the children we have made them into a kit including our rainbow felt and silver plated bells.The bells have the most pure ring that is quite delightful every time it is heard.

 

Here they are with their affirmation poems.

Our next project was the beautiful felt flower hair clips from purl bee.Check out the free pattern at www.purlsoho.com under rose barrette .Mia also created the lady bird clip.

 

 We then went crazy for the delightful soft trees.

 The crafty mums had loads of ideas that completley surpassed our original ideas.

We finished the year with the sweet and simple raibow silk fairies.

Dear crafty friends,

We have been busily creating spring inspired goodies at our monday craft sessions.

Our rainbow mother and baby bird were lots of fun to make.

Over 30 people came to this workshop.

 

Our silk dying workshops are also a big favourite with our mums. With just yellow and blue and a touch of pink we created some stunning spring playcloths for our seasonal tables.

We created a rainbow angel mobile in hounour of our newest craft baby Skyla.

She loves it!The ladies worked in pairs to make the mobile which was really enjoyable .

Our Australian animal series continued with the rascally dingo designed by Dionne.

Isnt he gorgeous!

 We held a saturday workshop showcasing Christina Lane with her needlefelted spring maiden.

She is truly the queen of facial detail!

This bee hive was inpired by Satchico one of our talented mums.The coil basketry technique is so useful to make all sorts of containers.We are very lucky to have so many talented women in our group!

The chidren love to hide the bees inside the hive!

It can also be used as a string holder!

 

We have a couple of weeks left in the term befor our market so I will share them in the coming weeks!

Cheers for now .... nikki
