Handmade Monday Week 2

Well it's week 2 of Handmade Monday organised by Wendy of 1stuniquegifts. After last weeks success we are all returning with more handmade goodies to show you and hopefully a few more people will be joining us. All participants' links can be found over on Wendy's blog.
Can i also just say a big WELCOME to my 10 new followers. Makes it all worth while when you start to realise people are popping by to see what you have been up to.

So following on from yesterdays post here is my new MUM cushion with the flowers that Krysia lovingly cut out for me and the patchwork scraps left over from the bag i made last week.
I was chuffed to use my machine to write all the wording, finally i am using it to it's full potential, tho the grey material has a white thread running thru it and i think i positioned the writing incorrectly thru the line so it may need to be sold as a second. I didn't realise how bad it looked until it was all put together and then didnt have the heart to undo it all. Using Krysia's flowers again i put them on a new phone case to embellish. I think they really add a lovely finish. The button i have made with fimo. Another thing i'm attempting to learn at the moment!

Have used a mixture of my red scrap material for this mobile phone cover.

2 more phone cases cut out and ready to sew.



Another of my favourite fabric flower brooches.



And this is what i'm working on the moment but still needs some tweeking.
Following on from the success of the gingerbread men at christmas i'm attempting to make a few of these smaller ones with chef hat and apron and hopefully holding a sign saying "Special Mum" and putting a magnet on the back.
The hats have come out ok but the apron is looking messy at the moment so i need to tidy them up a bit. Will hopefully have a finished product to show you next week.



Thanks for popping by and dont forget to have a look over on Wendys blog if you have the time.
Until next time.

  7. My fave is the red phone case. You have been a busy bee. The gingerbread man is the absolute best, reminds me a bit of the Pilbury Doughman with that apron on.

  8. I love every item that you have posted today. But I have to say the red flower is my favourite but then again it's red and one of the colours I wear the most of. I like the cushion to - maybe you could add a button or something to either side of the message so it looks like the line is meant to be there? - only a suggestion - seems a shame to sell it as a second.
