Pretty Pots.....

In the midst of sewing.
Just could not resist taking a picture.

.....plants.....

It's a jungle.....

King Lion with his crown and Panda-Jenna with her cute little ribbons...
the pride of the jungle.

Cover up.....

Don't judge a book by its cover???

Things I make.....

Small handy bookmarks sewed onto clips and pegs. These were designed as shoes and gloves.

Some more clip bookmark designs.......

These were miniaturised shoe bookmarks that I sewed onto extra small pink pegs.
Note the bee with little flapping wings. (will upload a better picture soon)

The little shoe bookmarks developed into mini shoes. These are the size of a cotton ball. They are embelished with flowers, beads and buttons. They even have little laces tied into bows. 

The pink mini shoe is a high top...

The shoes needed a purpose. And so they became keychains.
Notice the butterfly wings attached to the shoe.
The start of a trend........

A full view of the butterfly wings, all hand stitched.

Shoe bookmarks to mini shoes and now boot pencil cases. My first attempt at sewing a zip. It worked!

Little cute pink bows and zebra stripes for these boots...

Finalised the design of the boots with criss-crossed 'laces',
metal medals, ribbons and butterfly tags.

Another development in my sewing - ballerina cases...

Pink ballerina cases with beads and flower ribbons.
The start of 'Butterfly Stitches".

Miniaturised the ballerina shoes into little bookmarks with long tailed ribbons.

Each ballerina bookmark was modelled after a ballerina case. See the butterfly wings?

The ribbon tail marks the page and the ballerina shoe marks the book as yours....

A ballet shoe for a pair of scissors. Why not?

The next step in sewing.

A rooster, named Rooie, designed as a doorstopper.

He developed after many attempts.

This one is stuffed with toy filling and pebbles.

What happens when doorstoppers are miniaturised? They become cute little paper weights.
A rabbit and a cat with rouge cheeks.

A bird in the making...
...with patterned wings, beaded eyes,
a wooden beak...
and painted rouge cheeks.

All birds need a frilly, matching bird house with pink pearls.

More paper weight designs.
The dog and the owl were the first after Rooie.
All on display.

The start of a new funny bunny in pink, cosy fleece.
Its name is hand embroidered on its long ear.
Fortunately it was a short name.
(My first attempt)

The funny little bunny now has stuffed ears and feet...
...with pink whiskers, crystal eyes and fluttering eye lashes.
And a little pink chequered bow to hold its ears up.

A new owl look...
... a new owl design.
It looked good flat...

'Who gives a hoot?'

A sad, doleful owl who needed a butterfly to feel less blue...

...and maybe even a flower sun hat to flatter her eyes...

...or maybe a friend to brighten her day.

She does look just a little happier...

All stitched up with curly lashes set with hair spray,
a pretty handmade ribbon,
little feet too...
and a butterfly.

A second look at her long, luscious lashes.

A new addition whose mane and paws are stuffed. He has jiggly eyes and a tail with a fur ball.
