We're having a cybercraft on cloth nappy addicts this week and this morning Gisele is helping us make paper beads.

Jubilee buns and pretty clothes

Yesterday I used made Jubilee buns for the boys - blueberry buns with vanilla frosting and British themed edible decorations:

These are some of the items I've made during Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts:

Resin hair grips

Yesterday I got out my polyester resin and moulds and made some pretty hair grips:

I also made the ever popular dove ones but I'm still waiting for pins for these:

And a lovely clasp bracelet:

A summer dress

I made this lovely dress yesterday :)

It's my adaptation of several vintage early 1970s patterns. I've previously made it as a winter dress with long sleeves.

Heavenly tees

I found some unused navy tees when tidying the boys' wardrobes and could resist doing a bit of bleach dyeing with them. A recent article, I think it was in Altered Couture, inspired me to create a universe. I used Jacquard and tulip paints to create highlights.

Buy British Month fabrics

I'm playing with some lovely fabrics this month on Cloth Nappy Addicts, here's a few samples - excuse the lack of ironing!:

Not sure if I can part with this rare vintage Laura Ashley:

Gorgeous fabric delivery

I've just received a delivery of fabric to make some stock for Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts. It was difficult to decide as I fell in love with so many but these were the ones I finally chose as my base fabrics:

I have already made the Cath Kidston-esque ones into a a delightful skirt with matching reversible hair band:

Easter swap on CNA

At Easter I took part in a swap on Cloth Nappy Addicts. Here's the delightful parcel I received:

The musical box is quite amazing! My little boy loved it so much I had to buy him his own musical box.

Needlebook swap

I am currently hosting a needlebook swap on Cloth Nappy Addicts and was delighted to receive my needlebook this week. It is a beautiful and very unusual knitted seedpod. I know who my swappee is but can't say as the swap hasn't finished yet - but thank you Swappee!

Custom glass brooch

A dichroic glass brooch with black enamel fairy made for a customer:


And another (sorry, blogger insists on putting it sideway!):

Glass cabochon with dragonflies

Here's a sample of the glass cabochons I've been selling in my Folksy store this month:

Still going strong with those hair accessories
