My Idea for my wedding invitations  my first attempt

Then I decided that there was something missing so I tried again. 

What I did was add a lilac color from my ink pad round the edges.

I also add 2 beads instead of one on the ribbon i really love the butterfly 

I also added a flower sticker to the wording I really like this.

Now all I have to do is make 30 more and design the inside to so fun fun.  I also doing my flowers and would love to make my dress and ties for the boys. so watch this space.

Hi everyone

Hope everyone's OK.
I know it's been awhile but I have been busy with my boys, summers always hard as kids do get bored. This picture is of me and my dog Pepper. She's a good girl doesn't mind the sea when it's calm.  She wasn't sure when it was ruff wouldn't let us near it she kept pulling me away. 

All my boys are back at school even my four year old is going full time.
I found my self at a loss. It was my friends daughters 10th birthday and I wanted to get her some thing or make some thing. This is what I came up with.

I made her a fabric folder that also holds pencils and pens and A a4 folder. 

This is what it looks like when it's folded up.
she loved it I also made her a pencil case to match 

And I made her a T shirt bag as she loves bags.
The words on the front suit her as she is a little chatterbox but I don't mind. 

You can turn this bag inside out the inside looks like this,

I was so pleased she loved all her bits. I was also happy as I didn't spend a penny as I used what I had.
She like that I took the time to make her something. I also made her card with her name on.

Now it's my sons 16th birthday coming up.  I've made him a pencil case out out a leg and back pocket from my youngest old clean jeans  and some left over fabric. 

This is what it looked like after I had cut them out and sewn the back pocket on to the leg. Please forgives I'm still learning how to put put a zip in. 

Anyway this is what it looked a finished I think he will like it.

I hope you like it. I'm very happy with the way they turned out  as I've never made a pencil case with a zip before and the fact that I didn't spend a penny is even better. So I'm happy 

Good night people and take care.
