Button Brooches

 I have been making A LOT of button brooches this week! Playing with new colour combination's has been like a breath of fresh air! I have a lot of plans for new stock and the biggest list of things to make and do before the baby arrives in July. I will be listing some of these new brooches on folksy and etsy over the next couple of days. Don't forget i am always more than happy to make up a custom brooch for you!

 Heart Buttons?

 The one I am tempted to keep. I love these colours together so much I'm planning a painting for my bedroom in them!

Baby bump and cat

 

Just seeing how close I could get the camera to Ninjas face before he got pissed off and moved! Quite close was the outcome.

 

I'm not sure much longer Ninja will actually fit between the baby bump and the desk

Me and my 22 weeks pregnant baby bump. I'm getting rather large now. The baby has already started waking me up in the night kicking! Sleep deprivation is something I am going to struggle with. I will admit I am horrible to be around when I haven't had my sleep. Food I can go without all day but sleep...I'm like the walking dead, and the moody dead at that! I better start 'practicing' my cat naps.

Teeny Weeny

New teeny weeny button jewellery.

 Cute Ice Cream coloured hair slides

 Even cuter teeny polka dot button studs in many colourways!

Now being listed on Folky

I'm having a BABY!

 I have been waiting soooo long to announce this! I finally had my 5 month scan last week and everything went really well. The baby is growing well ha ha and I don't think I'm in for a small baby! This is our first child and we are super excited. We are not finding out what we are having as i think i would prefer a good old fashioned surprise. So the first photo is from 13 weeks and the second was taken last week at exactly 20 weeks. I have only just recuperated my energy levels and will admit I have done pretty much no work in the first trimester. I'm slowly catching up as i have now hit panic mode-in 20 weeks i will have a baby in my arms and no energy to play with buttons. So my plan is to get as much work as possible done so all i have to do is list and post..ha ha we'll see how that one pans out eh?

I was amazed how clear our 20 week scan was. We even got a wave and a yawn which was just beautiful to see. I cant wait to meet him or her. The kicks are getting stronger and my belly is getting bigger by the day. Ill take some 'baby belly' photos soon. x

New Design

 I made my first Cafetiere cover last December as a Christmas gift to my Grandma. It dawned on me that it would be ideal as she was previously wrapping and tucking a tea towel round her coffee! It looked awfull, and didn't work very well lol. So she was over the moon when she opened her present. I made her the linen and red gingham one above with mother of pearls buttons.

 This floral one is listed in my SewRealicoul folksy shop.

 Hope you like x x

I Heart Rings

 

I Heart Rings! I love em i do! 

I was looking through my ring box the other day and when I came to struggle to close the lid I realised, gee I have one hell of a lot of rings! A lot of them are from Octopus where I used to work and quite a few are ones i have made which seem to sneak into my box on a regular basis lol. So i thought I'd share my rings with the world, just my costume ones. I'll save my silver collection for another day!
