catch of the day....

Sorry for the delay in writing...a few of you have been complaining of my slackness ( you know who you are!) The days feel like they have just been getting shorter and shorter, while the jobs are taking longer and longer!

Well these are a few of the things I have been doing lately. 
I love to hand sew, I find it so relaxing to just sit down and sew, while the kids are asleep. I pretend that my house is spotless and the ironing and cleaning is doing itself....yeh right.

I had some little fish beads sitting here, just waiting for the perfect project...and this is what I came up with.
I wanted a nice little fiddly thing to make......so you get your catch of the day - complete with the net still attached!

These cute little badges can be added to your hat, your jacket, your pants and shoes....or just about anywhere you think you need to show of your catch of the day!

tough guy....

The boys are always left out of the accessories scene, so I have made these denim wrist bands to give them something of their own to wear.

'Tough guy' wristbands have a velcro clasp so they are easy for little fingers to accessorise themselves. 

Made of denim, linen, cord and felt, they are all hand stitched and embroidered with beads and buttons to make each one unique.

(Thanks Mel)
