Aprons for school fundraiser

Recently we had a school fundraiser, so I thought I would make some little aprons...these two are matching colours but slightly different.  It would be cute for them to be worn by little sisters...

Vintage Hobbytex prints

These are some gorgeous quirky little hobbytex paintings my Mum did for we kidlets as children...I have always loved them and this week I got the hubby to hang them in the kitchen, they match the eclectic feel of red white and blue perfectly and are special to me....needless to say my Mum was shocked to think I would hang them....but I think they are great!!!

Mint and Orange clutch

Fashion post today......I bought these gorgeous shoes online recently they are perfect....peep toe, a bow, wedge and a lattice effect so I just love them.  But to go out to dinner last night with the fam' I didn't have a handbag to match.....

Sooooo, I went straight to my vintage brooch stash and came up with this one that was given to me as a present as a little girl...it isn't a brooch, actually a scarf holder so I could get the clip to sit on at all...

So once I had found this, I found the glue gun and popped it on it a matter of seconds and my look was complete.

Whooops, I forgot to mention the ultra cool part,...I have been loving mint green lately, well for a few months that's for sure, and I found one at Vinnies a few weeks ago, just a simple little mint green clutch that had never been used for 50c.....

It looks pretty plain from this pick, but it is that really pretty mint green or sea mist colour....

But then how cute do they look together....50c fun for me anyway....

Personalised Shopping Bags

Hitting the past bigtime today...

These are some appliqued shopping bags I made when I had just the two kiddlywinkers and thought this might distract them and be fun at the shops... well only used them once at the shops but they have been good for heaps of stuff and my son still uses his all the time.

I did fruit and vegies on the front, I just did a tight zig zag stitch on the machine around these

I did a froggie pocket on the back

And my little gals

I lined the insides with a coordinating fabric...

Have a great weekend everyone....hope you get your "Craft on" or that's what the kids are saying these days anyway!!!!

Pocket Kitchen Nook

Well this is a different one...

Again going through the stuff Mum has offloaded passed onto me and I saw an old Home Ec project,...
sewing a pocket, the teacher wrote and A on it, and it has my name, and I thought....cute sorta, I loved my Home Ec days and it is red,...

So here goes...

A frame from the Thrift shop

 My very own A!!!

A spray painted frame

And wait for it...I just need to find some ric rac, wait for the paint to dry and will let you know........

Eclectic Vintage Kitchen

As my Mum finally gets rid of passes on all my junk sentimental childhood memories, keepsakes, school books and craft items...I am constantly coming across beautiful vintage prints, games etc that are in remarkable condition...so much more special to have these things from my childhood rather than someone elses. I am glad we haven't thrown heaps of stuff out.

Here are two prints my Mum did herself with Hobbytex (the paint to use on canvasy fabric back in the old days... ;))  I think they are really cute and since they aren't the colours of my kids bedrooms, I thought I should maybe make a cute place for them in the kitchen..

Cute Knickers...

In a cleaning frenzy this morning and swapping things around, I came across this cute pair of baby girl stockings.  They are too small and well, starting to lose elasticity, so I had to do something with these or move them on to the bin.

But look what I created instead....


How toot!!!!!!



                                               

So all I did was chop them off...they are woollen but won't fray and the bottom of the legs here I just rolled up

And the bottoms are cute little sockies.....

What is it about baby pink that is so darn gorgeous on little girls......

Schweeeeetttt!!!!
