Introducing...Bunny Bear (and a walk in the forest)

I've finally made my new Bunny Bear...and here she is:

Bunny Bear and I decided to walk in the forest with the Bluebells, and husband Jon said he'd take our photos!

As you can see, I like to copy Bunny Bear's look - she is pretty cool.


Bert and Bunny rode in my bag when they got tired...
We enjoyed sitting and looking at the trees...

We even saw a 'real' bunny - can you spot him?
Bunny Bear loves her heart button tail!

...And she also loves Bert! They are great friends.


Bert and I are still great friends too...


Bunny Bear, Bert, Jon and I had lots of adventures in the Bluebell Forest...

...and at the end, we met a real life Cheshire Cat!

Bunny Bear is excited about having more adventures - she'd love it if you could think of a great name for her!

Friday Treat Time!

I love listening to children's stories - and you can too by clicking on image above and listening to some fun stories! My recommendation is The Wind Singer by William Nicholson - a story full of adventure and children changing their world...

*PLUS!* Some cute fluffies I've found browsing varuious craft-art blogs:




Happy Friday!

Fun in the Sun(shine)

This weekend was SO beautiful and sunny I had to celebrate by making Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes for the various picnics and BBQ's we were going to...


I also sat in the sun to make my new 'Bunny Bear' character...
Listening to stories on my DAB...

Smelling the pretty flowers...
Using my great grandmothers sewing box...

With Bert Bear keeping me company (and he is very curious about his new friend I'm making!)

Lovely times in the sun! Watch this space to meet my new bunny bear! She's not going to be perfect as this is the first time I have made a bunny, but I'm hoping you'll like her!

Friday/Saturday Treat Time!

I've just got into a blog called vol.25 and found this beautiful film - enjoy!

Felt Alphabet Patch

I made this for my friend, Anna, to thank her for all the little vintage gifts she buys me! I'm hoping to make more for my friends and make felt alphabet names!

Creating Magical Worlds

These pictures are SO inspiring for me - I want to create magical worlds for children through storytelling & illustrations by using simple everything things - because the ordinary isn't ordinary at all when you look at it closely...

Concerning Buttons...

This book, given to me by friend Charlotte has inspired a few of my button makes - its button-tastic!

Here are some of my fabric embroidery hoops decorated with...buttons!
Button jewelery - I love wearing buttons and have made button earrings, badges, necklaces and rings - I try not to wear them ALL at the same time...

Little heart earrings - sweet.


Chunky red button necklace - great with red nail varnish...

Button badges - good for coats, bags, blouses...most things really!


Button rings - just great:


Buttons look good anywhere...
So I HEART buttons - but I'm not as into buttons as the terrible belle-dame in Coraline - that's when button obsession goes a bit wrong... (beautiful film though - check out the dark but delightful website!)
