Little Tweetheart Doodle Keepsake - Kit Giveaway!!!

I've been a busy little bee today.  Even the arrival of the second issue of Mollie Makes didn't deter me for too long.  (okay it did really, but let's pretend shall we!).  For a while I've been working on my Little Tweethearts Sew Simple collection.  I have several projects all mapped out, it has been making them up that has slowed me down.



I've only gone and finished one!

May I introduce my first ever kit........ (drum roll please)
Little Tweetheart Doodle Keepsake



I'm so pleased to be showing you this.... that I'm also going to offer my first ever giveaway too!
A complete kit to make your very own tweetheart.  


Kit Includes

Everything you need to make the heart (you only need add stuffing)
Fabric
Threads
Buttons (including 2 of my Cajame ceramics)
Vintage Lace
Vintage crocheted doily
Part of the Little Tweethearts Sew Simple Collection
Pretty Portable Projects - Ready to Go
Hand sew your own special Keepsake

Full instructions will help you complete your Little Tweetheart in no time at all.  Each kit will be provided with a personalised Doodle design if requested.  I will include any names/words as required, all hand doodled and ready to embroider.  The fabric shapes are all pre-cut and backed with vilene or bondaweb as appropriate.  You really do only need to thread a needle and you're off!



The perfect make to carry around in your bag, it would be an ideal project to do of a lunchtime, or whilst travelling to and fro work.  Although there is a lot of embroidery involved, they are all very simple stitches and so it does come together quickly.

The little tweet has been appliqued onto a calico heart by blanket stitch, with the wording My Little Tweetheart embroidered in back stitch.  The heart has then been doodled with a variation of stitches, designs and words.  On this one I've included, SMILE, LOVE, LAUGH and TWEET.  With a perky button eye and floral wing - she's a pretty little thing.



The reverse hasn't been forgotten either!  I've designed the heart as a keepsake, so there's a little vintage lace edged pocket for hiding away a little treasure.  What could it be I wonder?  A lock of hair, a baby tooth, a piece of vintage jewellery, perhaps even a love letter - carefully folded away.  With pretty buttons and a vintage crochet doily, this Little Tweetheart harks back to times gone by.  The main body of the heart and the hanger are in pastel gingham.  (available in either pale pink or pale green).

I'll also be including one of my button-heart bag charms, and a little surprise or two.

Katy Bag

Today my latest bag design is going to my friend Kate for her birthday - hence the name. I hope she likes it! This is a nice roomy bag, with long comfortable handles - ideal for slinging over your shoulder. For the front pocket I've slightly gathered the fabric and channelled elastic through before sewing in place. To make the bag I used two half yards for the outside and lining, and a fat quarter for the pockets. To inter-line I used fabric cut from a bargain Ikea fleece blanket.... there really is no cheaper way to buy fleece - more than a metre of lovely fine material for just over £1! Of course, I've added my "designer" buttons. I'm still very much in love with them. For detail I've added a fob on one side, with a long fabric tie in a bow. With several darts across the upper third of the bag, the finished effect is slightly puffy. The inter-lining gives the bag good form and structure. The lining is a lovely contrast. I...

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  An...

It just fell in..........

to my Amazon Shopping Basket - honest it did! Feeling the urge? ......  Click HERE to "pop" to Amazon UK's pre-order page You know what it's like.......  see a tweet, catch a Facebook post in the corner of your eye.  Within seconds, you've "liked" it - and popped over to Amazon for a quick shufty (as you do).  And.... before you know it - you've added it to your basket and pressed the "1-click" (oh boy - but is that the best bit of marketing genius EVER).  Hey presto - you've bought another book on auto-pilot. Seriously though - I can't wait for this one! Despite now being a fully paid up member of the Sis Boom "Happy Home" Society (now there's an idea Jennifer!) - I now have to sit and wait patiently for it to arrive, as it's not due out for a wee while. "HURRY UP AND PRINT - DARN YOU" I absolutely adore Jennifer's prints and designs - and I just know this will be a "happy...
