Drumkit in a Handbag cont.

>>>Finally!

My bag is finished, minus one piece of thumb. I got tired and crushed my finger with the sewing machine! Ouch..

Triumph! Although I am still missing a handle. The Mr. hasn't looked out the other drumstick for me. So I can't even use it yet.

It's weird though I took photos and no matter what light it was in. The picture makes the bag look blue but it is in fact a very royal purple.

I'm so pleased with myself and really happy that I could use different stitches on my sewing machine.

The drum kit isn't perfect but for my next one it will be better now that I have the technique down.

I'm so pleased with myself!!

Drumkit in a Handbag

>>>It appears to be delayed slightly. I had to rush into work to help out so I had no time to complete my masterpiece.

I have tomorrow off though so I am DEFINATELY going to complete it. I also quite fancy making a matching pouch and coin purse to go along. (very coordinated!) >.<

I tend to do this a lot. Start making something then take ages to finish it.

It will get done.

>>>At the moment I am still procrastinating. Haven't finished any fascinators.

I have moved onto making a bag from purple felt. I embroidered a drum kit onto the front pocket and I am going to use drumsticks as handles. Everything is ready to go. I was just too tired last night to complete it.

Basically today I just need to set up the sewing machine and throw everything todether then it's ready to rock and roll. No punn intended. haha

Will get the pictures up as soon as it's done.

Fascinating Facinators

>>>Recently I have really got into making my own fascinators and cutsey (is that even a word?) headbands. I honestly can never find the exact one I want in a store.

Do you ever picture the most amazing item in your mind and trawl through every store that might possibly sell that item?

You go into a gajillion stores, maybe 2 of them stock the item your dying to get your hands on and they are butt ugly..sigh...

Thats when I thought I would put my sewing skills to good use rather than making bags ect. and move onto making other items. Funky fascinators and headbands. Because to be honest only two stores in my local shopping centre stock them and everyone and their gran is going to have one.

I need something more...more me.

So I then raided all my crafty drawers and channeled my inner craft to come up with some stupendous ideas...on paper..ha

Still to complete one as I am procrastinator. I do have a few days off this week so I will be completing them. Very soon.

Just a few I found only internet...

Very unusual tights..

I have just come across the most unusual and very very cool tights on etsy.

They are made by a designer named Gabby from Tel Aviv and she is extremely talented.

Her work is unreal and very reasonably priced if you want something so unique, because people really will ask "Where did you get those?!"


If you are really obssesive on twitter these really would be perfect. I'm really considering buying them myself!


These peacock feather tights are so elegant yet super quirky!


Cute little bats for the goth in all of us. They are great for halloween too!


And finally the Octopus!! Wow the image is just amazing!

All of ther stockings come in full length, thigh high and knee high, so really there is an option for everyone. If I had all the cash in the world I really would buy them all. They have had over 4000 sales so they really are doing well. Go them!

You can check out Gabby's other designs on her etsy page right here.

Felt really makes a mess..

>>>Do you ever notice when you use felt and your cutting out, there are these tiny little fluffy bits that get everywhere?

There is tiny little fluffy bits everywhere..

Just finished making a little Russian Doll.



How cute!!

I want to make a whole bunch of these in loads of sizes. This is about 2 inches tall or so..

Breaking the ice..

>>> So I guess this is my first ever post huh?
I've been awfully busy lately sorting out items for my new store and actually sitting down and making things.
I have really got back into the rhythm of things and to be honest. It feels great!

I have been a bit ratty recently but I have been mega stressed out, but that is all over now..back to smiley cheery Cupcake!

I am hoping to post at least once a day or more if I have things to talk about and time..

You can always check out exactly what I am doing on my twitter.

I update that at least every hour so there is no reason why you wont know what is going on!

For now. I must part.

Muchos Love {>.<}
