Children — With These Rings

I fess… this post is a spin off from my infatuation with rings. I never quite noticed the use of rings in local children / baby photography sessions but I was awed into searching for more after seeing a couple of these. They are meaningful and that taken of premmies really tugged at the heart strings. Rings are just that big… and to see the lil baby’s hand fitting through it was heart-wrenching.

Thankfully, the babies have since grown up strong and healthy. No longer wee little ones. Take time to enjoy…

DIY Weekends :: Happy Father’s Day

By On · Add Comment · In admin, children, crafts, DIY, get crafty, random

Father’s Day is tomorrow. Have you got anything planned?

Nothing? Well, maybe you could fold a couple of napkins or (money) notes. Keep the kids occupied and spruce up the table a little. :D

I think this makes a sweet Mother’s day gift… from dad to infant daughter, for mum. In a convoluted way of course. And oh, other colour selections available to suit boys / sons. I know we are talking about Mother’s day here but… you know, it really is always about the kids.

Available from Wrenwillow.

peter rabbit hops into shop

well, sorta.

A customer requested for a few simple necklaces that will be suitable to wear on their own or layered for more wear. This resulted in this mini collection of sweet simple necklaces that are beautiful enough to wear alone or with other necklaces. Hope you’d like them too. This series is very affordable too (made with goldplated findings) and make wonderful gifts all year round.

I’ve taken one of Illustrated for myself! It reminds me of Peter Rabbit. Beatrix Potter has such a lovely style of illustrating all on her own. I’m sure you’d agree it is timeless.

Now, hop on over to the shop check the new additions out.

DIY Weekends :: Easter Celebrations

Perfect timing. Lace dyed eggs for Easter.

I actually managed to watch the episode these eggs were featured in. I remember sitting there in amazement and thinking it would be wonderful if I could get them done. With the Easter season approaching, I googled for the how-to and was pleased to find it still archived on Martha Stewart.

However, it does seem like a ‘hit and run’ with this craft. There are quite a few negative comments about how the results are nothing like these while others have gotten the same amazing results. So, use with caution.

Instructions and image from Martha Stewart.

I, probably will have to keep the craft aside for another weekend. Jayden’s down with a fever. All weekend activities planned have been thrown out of the window. I hate the viral bug!

skhor’s a hit!

Not the best of photographs, but until I can get baby K to model it, this will have to do.

The above tee was lovingly hand-drawn by the talented Sheryl of skhorahit. A beautiful, handmade item that just stole my heart (and breath!) when I opened the package.

A simple concept from a loving mom, because really, with all the talk of lead poisoning, you don’t want to risk your precious tod putting some lead-laden jewellery into her mouth. **aside : although as a jewellery maker, I try to use lead free or approved items, I still do not recommend my jewellery for toddlers for fear of swallowing and choking on small parts**

So Sheryl comes up with hand-drawn charm necklaces adorning the neckline of baby / toddler tees. Charming, sweet and chic. Hop on over to her site to learn more. And custom order yours today. I’m sure you know some baby who would look absolutely adorable in them!

Fancy making these paper kimono dolls? They make good use of the scraps of washi paper you have from other projects! Or erhmm, practice with random scraps first. Have fun, they make great rainy day projects with the kids :)

DIY Weekends :: Rainbow Cakes

I guess this would be a good time to bake something. After the delish looking cupcakes from earlier this week. How about trying your hand at a rainbow cake?

DIY Weekends :: Lunch(bags) Anyone?

By On · Add Comment · In accessories, admin, bags, children, crafts, DIY, get crafty, random

Spent copious amount of time at Daiso, the local (ok, more like imported from Japan) version of a dollar store where everything retails at $2. Lots of fun! I spent an insane amount of time at the kitchen section with bento boxes, sets and the like. So when I spotted this lunch bag tutorial on Lilac Silhouette, I just had to share.

Like she mentioned, it looks easy enough. Maybe I can motivate myself to do it … when the kids go to school? Tutorial is part of a freebie from Make Good Books.
