Such a busy week

It's such a busy week, so much to do before the big day on Saturday.
There are times when I feel like I am running on the spot :)
Yesterday I covered the wicker basket for Lily's rabbit. I am giving it to her as a Christening present.
I make so many things that I thought it would be nice for Lily to have something I have made to keep.
I bought three fat quarters of the pink fabric. Measured the size of the bottom and sides of the basket, cut the fabric to size,leaving a good turn over for the top, made a casing in which to thread the elastic through and made a little pillow.


Here is Lily's Christerning cake is finished.

Chloe's hen night

Chloe's Hen night

My Sister went as Lara croft, Chloe as Minnie Mouse and I went as Catwoman.
Chloe bought her outfit from Ebay. I made mine and Debbie made hers.
We had a fab night

Easy to make wall word art

I made this from a piece of ply wood.

I painted the ply a few shades darker than my wall. . I printed the word using my printer and drew over the lettering on the wood.
This gave me a faint outline which I had to draw over again in pencil.
Now the lettering was done , I painted over it using an eggshell paint.
I knocked a couple of nails into the back , added some wire and hung it on the wall.
Just the look I was after and cost me nothing to make.

Two tier wedding cake

This is a wedding cake that I made for a lady at work.
She is getting married on Saturday.

Hand made necklaces

Here are the necklaces I have made.
The Batman one I made from Polymer clay, to go with my Catwoman outfit for Chloe's Hen party on Saturday night.
Method
Background .Roll out a thin layer of Polymer clay cutting into an oval shape. Add two small holes at top edge to thread the cord through.
I printed off the Batman logo from the Internet and used it as a template. Once again roll out a tin layer of Clay and cut around the shape with a craft knife.
Bake in the oven for 10 Min's on 130 (electric oven)
Once backed the pieces will be nice and firm. Allow to cool.
Paint the background with black acrylic paint.
Paint the bat also with the black.
Now for the silver..Umm what doI have that will do that job?
While still damp I used some silver food dusting powder. Strange I know but it works a treat! It will also add shimmer.
Applying while the black paint is still damp holds the shimmer.
Allow to dry and attach the bat to the oval.
Thread cord or ribbon.
Job Done !!
The other is a bead necklace I have made to match in with the hat and handbag which also have the same beads on them.

I have had quite a creative spert inbetween making dresses and other bits and pieces for Chloe and Mark's wedding.
Here  are the dolls I have just finished.
All made from scraps of fabric I had laying around.
I dyed some cream cotton fabric with tea for the bodies I used fiber fill . Thee patterns were made up as I went along.So they are totally OOAK.
