Saturday crafternoon: fox, pincushion and other creations

Today is my first day at the studio full-time this year and I am making the most of it! Although there are  many things on my list that need to be done sooner then later, I am still in my holiday mode - creating whatever I feel like. First from the production line is a fox that I cut out in my creative space before Christmas. Unfortunately, I had some technical issues with the grey one so I finished orange one first. You can see I am still using that method that I told you about in my tips for creating with felt post, and so far it works beautifully.

she is finished! 

She is lovely, isn't she? The fabric used on this fox is organic from "Forest friends" collection by Rebekah Ginda. It is very nice to work with and I made sure I fit as many cute animals as I can, placing a little fox in the heart shape. 

After finishing a large toy, I usually feel like making a few smaller creations. I completely sold out of apple hair clips during Christmas so I am making more for the shop and experimenting with new colours too. These purple ones are a new colour addition and featuring another lovely Liberty of London print from my stash. 

Pincushions are always fun to make. I am in the process of re-designing them for my Valentine's day collection so stay tuned for more of them turning up in my creative space next week...

Happy Saturday! 

More mustard yellow? Yes, please!

What is the best way to get the mustard yellow colour crash out of my system? 

Well, make more creations for my shop in this colour of cause! 

 I did exactly that this weekend....

Maybe not everything though...

Hope you are having a delightful weekend! 

Meet Plummy!

After taking a picture of my Far Far Away II bundle, I couldn't stop myself from making something with it. I love this collection and somehow plum colours of this linen make my heart skip a beat. I am still looking for a few more fabrics from this collection...

Baby owl Sage needed a friend so this is how the decision was made and Plummy was born. I found plum felt that matches perfectly with the roses on gold yellow, don't you think?

She is very friendly and they're already happily playing together.

Plummy is now in the shop and anxiously waiting to meet more friends. You can see more picture of her here.

Shop update...

I've been one busy Plushka listing new items and making a few more owls for my Madeit shop.

The little blue one is waiting to be stitched and he will be ready to go in the shop too.

However, I cannot decide on the fabric...or, maybe, I should make 2 owls....

Which one do you like the most?

Shop update

It's been a long time since I've updated my little Madeit shop so, finally, there are some new and old favorite items in my shop. Including crochet basket, Russian dolls , headbands,

new cross-stitched buttons and more.

Come in and have a look!

Sunday shop update....

After carefully matching the fabric to the embroidery and hand stitching the bookmarks, my three cross-stitched linen covered journals are finally in the shop.

Each journal cover is very special and one of a kind, so make sure you pop in and check them out.

Hope you are having a lovely Sunday!
