New Flat = Big Workspace

One of the first projects that I worked on in our new flat was making some Boden props for a summer shoot. This was when I had moved into our flat but my boyfriend still hadn't moved in, as our old house had internet and the new one didn't! This was good as it meant I could take over the whole living room and make as much (creative) mess as I liked without being in anyone's way!

Here are some things I made in my lovely new space!!

Painting on giraffe splodges

Sewing parrot feathers

Animal Tails

A cardboard zebra head

A baby play tent

And a fancy umbrella!

Sadly we now actually have normal furniture, so there is slightly less space for me to work, but still so much more than I used to have, which is very exciting!

Flamingo Time

I love flamingos. They are so bright and vibrant and funny looking. They also smell really bad but when you are sewing them, that is not an issue!

I found this fabulous organic navy flamingo print fabric last year and just fell in love with it. After the Christmas rush, I've found time to make some more cushions from it and here is one...

Also, having made a flamingo felt name banner, using the same flamingo pattern, last year, I thought I would try out a flamingo mobile too, and I am very pleased with how it looks...

Under The Sea Mobile

I love coming up with new mobile ideas. I love making all of my regular ones, but like to keep adding to the collection with new and different ideas. I usually have the idea in my head for a while before actually getting round to making it, usually sketching my ideas, and then changing my mind, until I come up with the right design.

One of my latest ones, which as usual, I've had in my head for a while, since I was asked to make a whale name banner, was an under the sea mobile.

I ended up having a whale, a shark, an octopus, a starfish, and then added a little fish from my penguin mobile, and some coral to complete the scene.

I am VERY pleased with how it's turned out....see what you think....
