Fit for a rockin' cowboy!


It was my sister's baby shower two weeks ago already, and with everything going on I was still very determined to do something special for them...so with a bee in my bonnet, I worked like crazy the night before we had to move office and voila! I was soooo chuffed with the outcome!

All appliques were hand done, first cut out in felt, then hand stitched - the little onesies I had bought already so that helped. I added in some saddle stitch detail in contrasting colours to certain parts which looked pretty cool in the end. I also thought the added buttons for eyes on the skull came out well - I loved the crazy eye!
The finishing touch was from a client of mine who had come to collect an order from me (co-incidently the same night I was working late at the office!!). She gave me a little prezzie....so look out in the back next for my little "Love Miss Happ" signature, complete it's little hugs and kisses - and the cool part? It's actually in my own hand writing!
We all have our favourites, but I loooove the striped skully one bestest ;) I have already had friends asking about prices for their loved baba's...schew...watch this space!
Till next time!

sweet old school stuffed toys

Today is yet another child's birthday party and to be honest I am so over any kind of loud, plastic, made in china toy. So with this in mind I was determined to find that little something special.  I am so glad to see that finally the super cute old school, hand crafted trend of toys is finally now available in SA - you all know the kind..those sweet, plush toys in a patch work of funky fabrics with saddle stitching and little felt eyes? yeah! 

My newest fav store for kids clothing that if you have kids you gotta go past...

...is BLOSSOM BOUTIQUE
they do kids and Women's clothing, but it's the children's clothing and cute accessories that are just too damn adorable!  From little skully t-shirts for babies and hand knitted scarves for toddlers to the awesome animal furry jumpsuit with hood and little leopard ears to the cute hand made toys. All items are amazingly well priced so check them out!


Below is what we bought from BLOSSOM for the birthday present...a little giraffe!
