My first Post

This is my first post ever and hoping that it won't be the last. I wanted to have a blog to show off all the things that I create. I love all sorts of crafts. I'm always got some new idea that I want to try out. So look out for more exciting posts.

Craft market - Lambert Road Baptist

Yesterday I was at a craft market at Lambert Road Baptist Church. The day started out so hot! It also ended hot. It was the first hot day we had in a few days. Lucky for us we were in a hall, so no sunburn! Nicholas had made me such wonderful peg boards to display some of my items and to give us more space on the table. The market started out very quietly, but a few people started coming in. I sold quite a few things. The crayon rolls, tissue holders, taglets and note books always being the most popular. The other things that I love are the Christmas tins. The Santa and the Snowman. I also have reindeer but they've already been sold. I sold a Santa and I was so happy. I use the tins to either put cutlery or treats in. They are also nice as a hamper, which we did last Christmas. We put in mince pies, shortbread, choclates and other little things. I also have made Roll-up Kitchen playmats. People seem to love them but never buy them, I guess they need some tweaking. There wer...

Dummy clips

This stylish clip has a brace clip on one side (which is clipped to baby’s clothes) and on the other side is a loop with Velcro (which is fitted onto a dummy handle).  It is great for keeping baby's dummy clean and near to them. When using the dummy clip, it is never far from reach and allows baby to self sooth. The clip has many uses, it can be used for keeping toys or a sippy cup attached to the pram.  This makes a great gift , whether the baby is near or far. It is very light and easy to post. This is one of the dummy clips, in bright pink. This is a really popular colour for girls. All packed and ready! The dummy clips are priced at R25 each, postage and packing not included.

Better late then never

So much has happened since the last time I blogged. School started a bit bumpy. Amy started a new school so it took her a while to get settled, but now she absolutely loves it. Nathaniel went to grade 1, in the same school, but didn’t seem to settle as well. It was so stressful but now he loves it. I can’t believe it has taken me so many months to blog again. Since the kids have started school again I don’t have as much time as I did last year. Fetching them by 12:15 doesn’t give me much of a work day. Back to crafts, I have been working on a few things: Invites for my birthday; 2 presents for 2 different kids and Mom’s who care gifts. The invite I’ve done is really cute and my second choice. My first choice was a 3D shoe which I saw at skip to my Lou. I just couldn’t find the right paper that was A4 and also the colour I wanted. In the end I went with a corset shape and designed around that. I got the paper from a place called ‘Paper chain’. They are in Pinetown, just by Walto...
