A-Z of name banners - part 2

It's been a hard decision choosing banners to put into this A-Z of names. Ideally, they'd all begin with the right letter, and so would the name (e.g Hearts & Henrietta which was one of todays posts). Sadly most of them don't conform to this, so I've usually picked one of each to show off.

Here are my recent ones:

Cole & Clouds = yay! Double 'C'

And then Connie with some awesome lions!

Daniel & Dinosaurs = Double 'D' - win again!

And another cool Connie, with 2 different dogs. 

Emilia & Elephants! = Double 'E' 

Emilia is such a beautiful name, and quite popular at the moment it seems - I've sewn 5 of these banners, all in different colours, in the last year. 

Faiz with 2 different animals. Because why not?

And Alfie and Foxes. It doesn't begin with F but does have an F nicely placed in the middle!

G is for Gael, and Giraffes. Sadly not in the same banner, but they still both look beautiful!

H for Hannes and Hearts - again not in the same banner, until I got the order last week for Henrietta with Hearts - which fitted in perfectly instead!!

More to follow, we're only on H! Watch this space! 

A-Z of Names...

I've made so many names over the last few years, that I've decided to do an A-Z of name banners, to show of a selection of some of them.

Here are my first few....

Alice in Wonderland for an Alice - so fun and appropriate

Pink letters and white clouds is one of my most popular name banner combinations!

Because I make all my names from scratch, it doesn't matter how it's spelt - I'll make anything!

Cute boats with a life ring for B

Weather Card Cut Outs

I worked on a shoot before Christmas which involved making lots an lots of weather card cut out shapes. I love a bit of card cutting every so often, I love my craft knife, and get really into being really precise and measuring out everything.

Here are some photos of some of the final cut outs...

Some raindrops...

Sunshines....

I left the snowflakes till last, as there was a LOT to cut out! I had very sore fingers by the end of it!

This was the final selection - I was very pleased with how they turned out!

New Mobile Designs

I'm not entirely sure what it is, maybe because it's still so cold, so I've been cooped up in the cosy indoors, but I seem to have a never ending stream of new mobile ideas in my head, that I am just bursting to get making! Here are a few recent ones....

 

Felt Name Banners

I've had the idea for a while to make felt name banners, using some of the felt animals from my baby mobiles, but with a hand stitched felt name in the middle, so they are very personalised.

I started with the elephants, as these are the ones I make most for my mobiles, and then went on to try some of my other favourite mobile shapes.....

I obviously had to make an Amy one first, so it goes with my stall!
