Well it's Ekka time here in Brisbane, which always brings the cold winds, but today is actually quite beautiful, the sun is shining and the breeze is light.

What's coming .................

have been very under the weather here :( but I managed whilst I was childless today, to throw some bamboo velour into the dye pot ready for the next Gossamer Dreams stocking. If you'd like to see what this gorgeous fabric will be turned into just check out the Gossamer Dreams Blog in the next couple of days. And you can probably guess from this photo what the theme for this month is as well :)



Will hopefully have the dyed bamboo fitteds and a couple more than Shane is just snapping up for sale tomorrow at the OZeBaby store :)

Keep an eye out on Sunday for a newsletter and details of the special ANN stocking, before the Cherub's Kiss store is stocked again for everyone else. If you haven't already signed up for ANN you can do so here . There will be plain Auriels, some HoneyBoy! and a couple of custom slots as well.

Birthday Presents

So I have 2 very dear friends and their birthday's surround mine, by a few days. So here are some goodies that I made for them.

For my friend Kerry, a bag made from The Slimline Shopping Bag pattern from Chandlers Cottage.

It's made from a gorgeous print I picked up at Patches
which went well with fabric that I had been hoarding. Now I'm not one to do much hand sewing, as I find that I run out of time, so when after reading the pattern through carefully I discovered that there was alot of hand sewing, my brain went into overdrive to work around it. So I actually machine stitched the edges together and I think it worked pretty well. It made it a feature and was alot faster. I also excluded the template plastic that gives it some body, as I wanted the bag to be fully washable. Altogether I think it turned out pretty great.




And the back :)



Now for my friend Mel - Happy Birthday for Tuesday - we all went along to a fete today at the Everton Park Kindergarten - and I gave her these today, as I've yet to work out a way to post cupcakes, so they don't get all smooshed.



They are my standard vanilla cupcake base, with lemon curd and buttercream frosting - which made them into butterfly cakes!! Generous sprinklings of icing sugar as well.



These are the same cake recipe, with just vanilla buttercream and butterfly sprinkles. I don't think there is anything much better than just vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. I know there are lots of chocolate fans out there - but I'm not really one of them, give me vanilla everytime - though I'm very partial to lemon/lime flavours as well. Or ever raspberry - I like tart flavours, not over sweet.



And here are 3 of the cherub's tucking into the sausages on bread at the Fete - The sausage was nearly as big as Katherine, and she did a mighty job of downing 3/4 of it :)

1st August

And the July custom slot winners have been drawn and should have their emails waiting in their inboxes.

If you'd like to enter the August slots - please visit my homepage and click on the custom slot email link.

Some more dyed bamboo velour goodness - this one has hot pink sherpa on the inner - the outer is dyed in blues and hot pinks.




And a little while ago I had a PIF (pay it forward) on my blog here and I am totally randomly Paying it forward to those that replied. Here was the first one to go out (well just the t-shirt) the nappy was an order :) and I thought was a perfect opportunity to do the PIF, match up the little tee with the gorgeous nappy. So I appliqued the same fairy print and added some hand embroidered bullion roses up the side.




others will be coming randomly over the next few weeks
