One of my go to new baby gifts is a baby blanket that fits a crib. Sometimes I use the quilt panels and other times, I just use cotton fabric that I like. Either way, they are all the same size 112 x 92 cm (or 44 x 36 inches). I always make them lightweight… Continue reading Baby blankets
Making gifts for my nephew has to be one of the hardest jobs as well him being at that age where he is also getting difficult to shop for. Luckily for me, he is a big sports fan - football/soccer in particular. This was a project from a few years ago when he started playing,… Continue reading Football medal hanger
Again, like the dog cake, I also make cat themed cakes for my local animal shelter. I honestly can’t remember what flavour this cake was, most likely either chocolate or vanilla to keep it simple and cater to anyone who won it in the raffle. I love making these cakes, always fun and different but… Continue reading Cat Cake
Of course, using my Cricut again (I’d seriously be lost without this). I made this card many years ago for my nephew’s 6th birthday. All of the shapes came from the Create a Critter cartridge, pick your cut out and colour and ready to go! This would work with a number of other images/shapes too! Now… Continue reading Dinosaur birthday card
Another style of bib I often make is using pre-made bibs and attaching a cut out using Heat n’ Bond. You could of course, make your own for this as well. Find your design in the Cricut Design Space software (I have the subscription), get them ready to cut. Pop your Heat n’ Bond on… Continue reading Heat n’ Bond Bibs
Supplies needed: front and back fabric, thread, scissors, snaps & snap applicator (can use other fasteners as well). So many of my friends are having kids now, this is keeping me incredibly busy with projects for gifts for their arrival and following birthdays! One of the more popular requests (yes my friends actually make requests… Continue reading Bandana bibs
For any little mermaid in training, a personalised towel makes a wonderful gift. For this project I used cotton fabric that I had in my bag of scraps (my goodness that is a large bag that just seems to keep growing). Iron Heat n' Bond onto the wrong side/reverse side of the fabric. I always… Continue reading Customised swim towel
Every wine-o needs a wine caddy - can carry four glasses and one bottle all in one go! That is, if said wine-o is willing to share their wine! I bought the wood blank on eBay many years ago, if you can't find one, let me know and I will see if I can find… Continue reading Wine caddy
Looking for a delicious summer dessert, well here you are, consider it my gift to you. These simple berry pavlova’s are so easy to make. I use the BBC Good Food meringue recipe and instructions I used a tumbler to mark out the size I wanted to pipe my meringue. Make your meringue following their… Continue reading Summer Berry Pavlova
My sister and brother-in-law celebrated their first wedding anniversary in 2018. I wanted to come up with a unique (and not soppy or nauseating) anniversary card. I used my Cricut and Cricut Design Space to design the topper for this using image Bear from the Bits and Pieces cartridge. The backing paper I downloaded from… Continue reading Happy Annibearsary card
