60th Birthday Cake

My mums 60th was last month and I went over the east coast to celebrate with the whanau.  With the help of a good friend who is a baker and cake expert, I managed to make this Mississippi Mud Cake for my mum.
My friend made the lily flower, and I painted it.

When Life Hands You Lemons...



Make cordial... and lemon curd... and lemon meringue pie... !

I put a call out on Facebook for lemons, as you do... and I certainly got lemons!! 

This is my daughters lemon cordial she is going to sell at the Okarito Market Day next month. Hoping that it keeps alright until then!

 

 

Bag for a Friend

A bag I also made a few weeks ago for a girl at work, I was really pleased with how it turned out.. Bag Brief: PURPLE.  Think I got it.
Found the purple fabric in an awesome shop in Methvyn, was originally pillowcases which turned out to be perfect size for making a bag!
Lined in the same fabric.

Purse for a Friend

Hi there!
Haven't blogged for SUCH a long time as things have been crazy busy, hoping to get back into it now...
Made this purse last week for a good friend of mine who loves bright and funkiness. She wanted it padded for her iphone, so it's sandwiched with batting and free embroidered on both sides, and lined.

New work space in progress...

As we have a TINY flat with four of us squished in there, my beloved decided I should have a GIANT wardrobe cupboard for all my 'crap'. 
And it was free from the neighbour who was going to burn it!
This resulted in a new improved, but minute workspace, as it is in our bedroom and I have to maneuver my way to bed at night..
But I'm happy for now...

Paper Flower Bouquet

I felt like some flowers in the house the other day, but...it's winter, so alas no real ones to be found at my house, so I made some paper ones!
They are made from florist paper and bamboo skewers...

Now listed in my shop at www.felt.co.nz

More hemp/jute sewing in the form of a bag. Not sure what to do with it yet (tempted to keep...  but no, have dozens of bags already!)
Possible Franz Market Day stock, or may end up at Okarito Nature Tours....
