Sophie's fairy wings

My little neice needed some fairy wings to match her fairy skirt Em made her. Here she is wearing them on Easter Sunday during her very first Easter egg hunt! I made it out of foam and silk lining which I hand painted with acrylics (if you can afford it, I recommend fabric dye instead but it was too expensive for me!).

Tree stump door stop

Apologies for the big gap between posts. Here's my latest creation- a twist on the earlier log door stop- a vertical tree stump door stop in cord and felt. Stuffed with pebbles (from our wedding) and fabric scraps. Fingers crossed they like it!

Babushka doll purse for Kristen

P2210005, originally uploaded by sarah-may.

Kristen and I both love Russian nesting dolls. Kristen gave us a set of Babushka measuring cups for the kitchen for our wedding. It was her birthday last week and I felt inspired to carry on the babushka tradition and made her a little felt purse. I drew the illustration on the computer, printed it out and used it as a pattern. The eyes and cheeks are created with Copic markers but the rest is layered felt. I was aiming for a less traditional doll but it came out super traditional, oh well! Next time, maybe a glam metal doll? I hope she likes it!

Final punk themed sling

For Joe, this one is Ramones themed and is my surprise favourite! I stitched a Ramones badge onto the pocket (love the almost baby talk similarilty) and the fabric is dark charcoal with black skull and crossbones and black contrast back. This is a real don't mess with me or my baby punk-rock sling!! Btw, we used a bag of oranges in these shots as we have no bubba to use in these photos!
