Happy Easter! / Cáisc shona duit!















Country Painting

I have finished my country painting projects at last. I was looking forward this weekend as I knew I will have enough time to lot of thing I have planned. I have done two boxes one will be a pressie for a friend for her birthday the other will be for my washing tablets in my laundry room.

The plates were a bit hard to come by. I have looked in the creative shops but did not find much that would have suit me. All were the wrong size or horrible quality.  At the end I kindly asked my dad to make the wooden plates for me. They turned out just perfect. They are made of pine and they are lovely to paint. I will list some of the signs in my shop. Still if you would like to try country painting yourself  don't worry I will list some kits too with my own designs.

Baby Blanket and Pillow

The blanket and the pillow was made for a friend more to say for the babies of a friend. Both girls are really small so it took me some time to figure out to make both baby proof. I mean to be lickable, soft cozy. It took me a week to put together the materials and the embroidery. I used my own patterns, font and graphics. It took me quite a while but it was worth it, as it was a great success and that is all that matters.

Vera's Wings

These lovely wings were made for Vera my colleague. She recently moved home and I wanted to surprise her with something homely. The idea is form a summer Tilda book. I  altered the pattern to suit me and hand sewn most of the wings.It took me about a day to get everything right on it. I used vintage  lilac fabric I bought form the antique market I rave about most of the times. The ribbon is form a lovely shop in Keszthely and the button is from my Gran's collection. The writing on the wings says lavender in Hungarian.They are filled with lavender buds. Similar wings will be available form my shop in the next week. Shoot me an email if you would fancy one too.

Easter Bunnies

These bunnies were made for my Mama for Easter. They both are made entirely by hand I mean hand sewn not with a machine. They turned out rustic but sweet. For the pattern I have altered the bunnies patterns form Tilda's Paske. The fabric I used is from my favorite antique market in Budapest. The ribbons and buttons are from  A. Rubanesque in Dublin. If you wouldn't have access to the shop try East of India directly.
