Super Hero Capes & Masks!

It's always hard to think of cool things to get for my niece and nephew for Christmas and Birthdays. They usually want something plastic and 'current' and it will be of no interest in a few weeks so I don't really like to go along with that.

The problem then is, that if I get them something that I like, preferably wooden or fabric, they think it's boring, or don't understand what it is, so then there's no point. This was emphasised in a present that I got for my niece one year (a loom knitting kit) when I got an answermachine message saying 'thank-you-for-my-present-auntie-Amy-whatever-it-is'.

So this year, due to the success of my superhero masks at recent Christmas markets, and my nephews obsession with spiderman and the fact that he wears his costume as often as he can, I thought it would be a good idea to make them personalised superhero masks and capes.


I thought blue would match my nephews favourite spiderman outfit....


Whilst red is often my nieces favourite colour. I had to, of course, go for spotty linings. 


They were VERY pleased with them, and they fitted perfectly!



My niece didn't take hers off all day, which was great as she was the one I thought would be less keen!!

Unicorns!

After making a custom unicorn mobile for a lovely customer last year, I have been intending to make more! So last week I made one, and had sold it at Richmond Market on Sunday within half an hour of setting up!

So I've made some more....and not just pink girly ones....more neutral ones too....


With purple hearts, and pink tails!


With blue & yellow stars, and mint & blue hair! 


Silver sparkly horns!


Rainbows!!


All shades of pastel colours!
