More old creations











Ok so I have no idea whats happening to these pictures but they are being squashed for some reason, all of them have come out funny on here. Im so confused, anyway you can still more or less make out the overall shape of them. Only the grey bags pic has stayed how it should be.

PLEASE HELP FERRET SHELTER

Hi guys,
So tomorrow I am hoping to finish off making some items for WeezleWings Ferret Sanctuary in Hallsville, Tx. they really need help. Money is low and they need more supplies like pill/medication contianers, blankets, toys, food etc so if you have anything that you could donate please email the lovely suzie

or if you have/make any jewellery or cat /ferret toys etc that you would be willing to donate to go into a fundraising raffle then please email her on the same address above. Alternativly if you are fortunate enough to be in a position where you can financialy help them then you can transfer money via their paypal account
any monies donated goes straight and 100 percent to ferret vet care and meds and supplies for shelter.

Thank you all in advance
I will post pics soon of what I will be donating

Birthday Prezzie

Heres a dress I made back last July for my nieces 1st birthday. Handsewed it all. didnt have a pattern to work from either.





















I love how the print on the top half looks quite vintage but when you look closer you see its made up of bunnies. cute.

Dannii Minogues Bag

Hi guys. So here is a  pic of the evening bag I made for the lovely Danni Minogue.
Pink/plummy coloured curtain fabric with a lovely black velvet vintage pattern.
Black velvety linside, magnetic snap clasp to open/close, detatchable silver chain strap so that the bag can be used as a clutch. I especialy love the tear shaped irridecent (prob spelt that wrong) crystals that hang from the flap on the front. Did take another pic but it wont load for some reason. will keep trying

My sewing machine broke the day before I started to make this so I had to handsew it all. I had tennis elbow at the time so it really hurt. Will ask Dannii for a pic of her with it so I can post. The flash makes the fabric look a lighter shade than what it is.

crystal creations








Here are some silver plated and crystal tiaras and cake toppers that I have custom made for weddings. I love working with crystals, they are so beautiful and you can get them in such beautiful colours.








headband



So today I decided to jazz up a plain black headband that I bought ages ago from tesco for £2. I cut some ribbon that came from xmas prezzies and picked a large button. I sewed the black ribbon in place in the shape of a bow and added the button to the middle of it. next I took 3pieces of a different coloured ribbon and sewed those together to make 6 loops. These were then sewed onto the back of the black ribbon/bow. The whole thing was attatched to the headband via sewing through the button holes.
Sorry the pics are a bit rubbish but my camera is still playing up. will try to get better pics soon
