my creative space...

It is creative mayhem at my house this week.....


There is a little girls 2nd Birthday happening next week.  I have a few things ready, like a cute little madamoiselle from my dear friend Steph.

 To add, I have taken it upon myself to

a) make little invitations for a little morning tea party!
b) make the cake (still undecided!) and am in awe of the cake make by Cathy for her son's birthday
c) make some presents - one being this little portable carry house!   that Karen showed off last week - I have only managed to download the tutorial, buy a few things I needed and the rest has just stayed here on the ironing board waiting patiently!



I also finished two of the tote bags I was making from scraps of fabric and sent one off to a friend and mine (the yellow one ) has already come in use at shops that don't provide bags! Yes, is says I 'heart' op shops!!  I've put a picture on my side bar if you want some op shop love at yours....



Yesterday my kids were ready to head off to Playgroup really early, so I took my crochet with me and lucky, because we were the only ones for quite and while and I got making this little project (something that has been in my head for a while!)  Not quite finished, but will show you the progress another time!



Lots of projects - most of them unfinished but it's lots of fun!

See what other crazy crafters are up to at Kootoyoo!

  2. Oooh, loving the granny square block, what a great idea. You are going to be one busy chicken with those party preps. I'm hoping to keep riding the 'he won't notice yet' vibe with my almost-2 boy when it's his turn in September!

  9. ahhh, bunting invites!! sooo cool indeed.
    looks like alot of work ahead of you Brenda, goodluck with it all.
    as Gina said, i thought my 3 yr old would not want a party so was kind of ok with that until about a month before he started talking about bee cakes & parties so I had to give in.

    I have been eyeing off that house for about a year now on another blog, I put it in the way too hard for me pile.
    have fun & happy preparations.
