Wow! It's been awhile, I know. I have been super busy, making birthday presents! After Red Granny Dragon's Birthday, then it was my Dad's. I never know what to buy men, and because I'm trying to make presents at the moment, I decided to make him a note book cover too. Man use note book too don't they?
Oh well, I decided to make him one and man it up! I designed this one as well, it's different to the last one.
Sorry about the photo, I had to take it at night.
I worked the GT badge into his name. If nothing else he loved that part. His own little logo!
I also made another one of these in the Patricia Bravo material, that I have been using lately. That one was for my Sister In-Law. I didn't remember to take photos of that one :-(
While I have been doing all this, I have also been making things for my eldest son's birthday. We had his party yesterday. Everything has been working up to then, designing during the day, very, very late nights sewing. I had to put my new design on hold and work on by son's gifts. Although it's wonderful that while designing something especially for my son, I think I have come across a new line for my business.
Masks! A Fox Mask!
I recently was inspired by a fox hat we bought for our son from Etsy for his birthday. I fell in love with it and wanted to get my son into pretending to be a fox. He loves animals, he loves dressing up and he loves pretending. His latest thing has been frogs. However it is hard to find a good frog costume or mask, because it just looks like the frog is swallowing the child to me! Lol. So I can't bring myself to buying any frog stuff. Before you think I'm a horrible Mother, he has the following costumes, Iron Man, Bumble Bee, Optimus Prime, Sporticus, Speed Racer, Superman, St George Dragon (sadly the last two no longer fit him). So he is not deprived in anyway and no I didn't buy them all for him, so I don't spoil him either.
I did make a frog mask. The idea I think was good, however I'm not overly happy with the execution of it, so I'm not showing a photo of it. My son likes it though and I'll work on the design another day.
Now I'm working on a Drawing, activity, notebook cover with a place for pencils (another design of mine) for my Son's Birthday. I hope I can get it done in time!
I then have to make my Nephew a hat for his Birthday. He is two days younger then my eldest! We all had our children close together!
After that I can work on my Niece's Birthday present for next month. Finally I get to make something pretty and famine! And what better thing to make a little girl, then a Tutu! When I was out shopping with Red Granny Dragon Saturday last week, I bought some beautiful pink, and cream (black as well, but that for a different one) coloured tulle like fabric (it's much softer then most tulle, I hate the ruff stuff) and some gorgeous coloured ribbon to make the Tutu. I can't wait!
I bought some business cards the other week and they are on there way. I can't wait to see what they turn out like!
Well I must go now, sew much to do, sew little time (sorry for the sad pun)!
