Well today I was most excited to see this in my post box this morning...
The lovely Mel Goodsell approached me a while ago to contribute some projects to a new sewing magazine she was involved in and it was FUN to actually create non scrapbook stuff and to play with some fabric and felt and bits and pieces.
I knew it was due out on the stand but didn't expect a copy so soon!!! Poor Mel knew I had my copy today and she's been waiting, waiting ALL day for her postman to arrive. I scanned in some photos of the cover and some pages so she could at least see SOME of the pages and we have been emailing back and forth and then FINALLY her parcel man arrived with her copy! PHEW!!!!
So, what did I contribute?
I created three things. And my favourite thing were these little gals...
My Blossom Friends Felt Finger Puppets...
Sadly the flower puppet didn't make the cut and they only wanted the four friends instead which was funny 'cause they aren't really blossom friends without their blossom!
Here's my work in progress..
and all laid out ready for stitching..
and the finished puppets...they even made the cover - how exciting.
and here's Capri trying the puppets out..
and then onto my not so favourite project..These are my fabric pictures...they styled and photographed them ok in the book but I am still not lovin' them at all...they took ages to make and turned out a little wonky I reckon...and not at all what the vision in my head was when I started making them....
They are designed as a set of two 12x12inch in size and ready for framing...
And my final project was to design a set of hairclips - a felt pair and a set of fabric yo-yo ones. Having never made a yo-yo in my life and not even REALLy knowing what a yo-yo was, I set about googling yo-yo how-tos and ended up making these...
Here's all of the hairclips together.
So make sure you check out the magazine at your newsagency - AUSTRALIAN HOMESEWN - packed to the brim with wonderful fabric projects from Mel and a few things thrown in from me and also Fiona Carter.
