day 14... fathers day makes

So i had all these fabulous ides for fathers day this year as we where hand making but i realised a few days a go that we are away that weekend and with wholesale orders mounting up and the usual jewellery work i wont have time to do what i had in mind so me and the girls rustled up something cute for him today!

This is a photo that i took this afternoon and edited with a light sepia tone filter and printed on to photo paper. mounted it into the frame (these r 1.99 from b and m bargains!) they super glued our message in scrabble letters to the glass and the wooden frame.
We then made this cute card!

I hand cross stitched the little picture of daddy and we stuck it onto some photo paper. We then printed out a cloud and some cute little birds and glued them down. We then used magnetic scrabble letters from the travel edition to spell out our message and pop the girls names on. Its no Picasso but its cute... i just hope he likes it!! And the girls had fun!!!

Thursdays Make

So as my handmade year has restricted me from buying ANY presents this year for fathers day i have taken the time to consider the gifts seriously (even tho i only have a few weeks til the big day AND we are away that weekend!!) so to start i thought id cross stitch a cute card for daddy from the girls and THIS is what i came up with..

it just needs mounting into a card frame and then let the girls loose designing the inside! i would actually really love making these to sell they are sooooo cute!!
His present will need a make ALL to itself... Ive never made anything like it before :)

post 3 of handmade year

Today has been a generally lousy day for crafting so far, i have however decided on what to make MR Geek Pants for daddy's day thought this does require a silver clay kit which is £113! Though it will also mean i can start this custom order that's been hanging about for months, two birds one stone and all that.

So anyway, my craft of the day is cross stitch..again! but this time its going to be a card for daddy. I have found a little pattern for little people and chose on that resembles Mr Geek Pants and changed colours etc to suit him perfectly, then i am cross stitching We Love Daddy onto it then framing it into a card for him.

Here's a sneaky peak, but however i have ran out of forest green and peach... so it does look like a dodgy pirate at the mo!

Also brain wave for mothers birthday present came to me.... I NEED THAT SILVER CLAY KIT!!
Feel free to donate.. hahaha
