Circle Roses

At the moment I'm full steam ahead into creating Gracey's Butterfly wonderland for her 1st birthday.  One of the beautiful decorations I have stumbled across are burnt satin roses, using my heat emboss tool.  They are so easy to make and end up looking like a beautiful creation you would see on a wedding dress or lush hat at the races.

Trace various sized circles on to satin lining fabric (super cheap at fabric stores).

Pin and cut out.

Secure circles from biggest to smallest with a metal brad. Using a heat embossing tool and tongs to hold your circle flower, heat until satin begins to curl up.  Continue until you achieve your chosen result. I was amazed at how easy these were to make. 

Expect to see many of these in the coming Birthday Bash pics!!

Just love these!

I love all things to do with children's decor.  This is my new love.  If I had a spare bucket of money I would go crazy over at chocovenyl. Such beautiful fabric wall decals with some of the most unusual and unique designs I've see.  These are a couple of my favourites:

Super cute! Definately on my ideas list for my kiddies next room makeover.

Gracey's Nursery...The Willy Wagtail Place!!

Before Gracey came along, her nursey was my sewing/craft room.  From where I would sit, all the little Willy Wagtails and their little birdy friends would visit.  Sitting on the window ledge outside the room, chirping away.

When it came time to decorate the nursery, all I could see was the little Willy Wagtails chirping away outside my soon to be baby 2's room.  IT just had to be The Willy Wagtail Place. At the time I didn't know I was having a pink one, I was secretly convinced I was having another blue one). The signs of a babies sex...are so faulty! Anyway due to us not knowing. I went with a blue and green colour scheme, but within hours of being home from the hospital with my new little pink bundle, I started adding in hints of pink. 
Gracey is now in a cot but in the early days I had the cream bassinet you'll see in the photos.  I was determined to find a basinett that wasn't covered in meters and meters and meters of Frills.  As girly as I am ....Frilly Bassinetts just aren't my thing!

 

BIrdies for Charlie!

Here are the little Spool birdies I have made for little Charlie.  I think they are going to be just perfect little friends for her to sit on her bookcase.

The Cutest Little Birdies

I've made these gorgeous little material birds for my little boy's new room.  The pattern can be found at Spool.

I'm planning to make a couple more to create a flying bird mobile.

They are just so adorable and my little boy just loves tucking them under his little arm for a cuddle.
