Carli and baby Kotze's booties

The booties I have made before are all exactly from the pattern, so these ones are my first experiment with adjusting the sizes - these are made to fit a newborn - they are teeny, can't believe that humans can be that small...And I got to use my Japanese fabric. Looking forward to baby Kotze making his entrance in to the world!

I made these booties for a special little lady called Carli. And I got to try out my new fabric stamps from Japan: note the cupcake:)

a minute to spare

So I needed a break and decided to make something small, easy and quick from my felting book. The result: a bookmark. It might not be very challenging but I'm sure it would be useful if you needed to have your kids do something entertaining.

Birthday present!!!

I got this amazing felting book from my hubby for my birthday!!!! So many things that I want to do, so little time....

Japandemonium

So Japan was absolutely amazing and although craft shopping did occur it was not at the top of the agenda. I did however realise that Korea's fabrics are just as good as Japans, if not better in some cases - so I only bought one (shocking I know.)
Another of the many obsessions that I have is stamps, and I found some cute ones that I can use on my fabrics. I also found that most of the craft stuff had stickers on that said, made in China - I will be visiting China in Feb 2011!!!!!!

One of the main things I wanted to buy was a Japanese sewing book, and I got this great one about baby clothes, booties, bibs etc. Japan was a great inspiration and I'm excited to get started with the next project.

Sam's booties

So I have started experimenting with an old obsession again - baby booties. These I made for a friend who is having a baby soon.  My husband and I are on our way to Japan for a week so I will make some more when I get home.

New fabric!!

So I haven't blogged in a while - we have been pretty busy travelling. We recently went to singapore and malaysia and this past weekend we were on an island called Jeju-do. Next week we are off to Japan for a week:) I thought I would put my new fabrics on the blog so long, hopefully I get some more amazing ones in Japan. I should have a new project up on the blog in a week.
