First Birthday Present Crafting: for Seb

Today is not only my other half's birthday, it's the lovely little Seb's birthday too, born of Hazel and Craig of House Sommerville & Connell (can you tell I've been watching Game of Thrones?!)

He was born into the world after a bit of a tiresome pregnancy (understatement) and he was born covered in his own poo. None of this surprises me, it would never be any other way with Hazel.

Little Seb is a wonderfully, happy, gorgeous little boy with creative parents.

This is what I made (using my makeshift lightbox):

As previously with Jack's birthday, Seb got his very own monogrammed canvas made from buttons and hand embroidered card. I hope he enjoys them as much as he can, being a one year old and probably having no idea what is happening!

As you can most likely tell, the card was drawn freehand by me.

Also, one last pic: Buttons. They're like treasure to me. This is what happens when your Nana gives you the button box to sort when you're a kid to keep you out of trouble!

First Birthday Present Crafting


Today is my lovely friends Shazza and Dave’s little un’s 1st birthday.

Jack came into this world after some frantic nesting on his mother’s part and has been the apple of his parents eye since day one, he’s a little sweetheart.

And this is what I made him: 


It was quite easy to do, I bought the canvas and buttons, marked the on the canvas using my makeshift lightbox and a water soluble marker and simply stitched the buttons on. 



and of course I stitched his birthday card too


I hope Shazza, Dave and Jack like it and have a lovely day munching on birthday cake and having lots of fun together. 

Love to the three of you xxxx
