Elephant Pillows

A few years ago I tie dyed a scarf for myself,but I never wore it so the other day I decided to sew some pillows from it.The funny thing is,its an old cloth diaper.(my old cloth diaper) :)
It's purple with elephants so whats not to love?


I used black and white acrylic paint for the stencils,wich I found here and here.
I took apart an old pillow for the stuffing.I love the fact that this project cost me nothing and is from all reused materials.


I have an awful,boring brown couch wicj takes up half of my room,so I'm going to cover it with lovely,colorful pillows to chear it up.
I didn't make a tutorial,because it's as easy as it can get.
1.cut the cloth diaper in half
2.stencil the design on each half
3.fold it in half
4.sew it up
5.stuff it

Embroidered Bookmark

Here's a little bookmark I made for myself the other day.The embroidery pattern is from the Bee's Knees Activities.I just love the little apple head! :)



The back of the bookmark is from a pair of old pajama pants.I think I'll use the rest of the fabric for some pillows,I love the color.

Oh and remember the unloved pillow?Well Mr.Móric decided to keep it after all. :)

Dress + Scarf = Cowl

This is my project for our first LXC craft challenge.The theme was Warm Up so this was perfect. :)
To make the cowl I followed Miamoonlove's Scarf Wrap Tutorial.

I started with a vintage dress and a mens scarf and turned it in to this:

I really love the grey and black color of the scarf but it was too manly to just wear it as it was.Plus I love cowls and I loved Miamoonloves tutorial. :)
And here's a picture of my beautiful Lilly.

The unloved pillow

So as promised,here is Mr.Mórices brand new pillow.It's sewed from a vintage dress I found in my mom's closet and hand embroidered.The cute design is from Babalisme.




I am in love with the pillow and the cute design,but unfortunately Móric is not interested. :(

So...now I have a new pillow! :)

More clay stuff

More pictures of some finished stuff for my shop.






And some tiny watermelon canes for nail decor.

All better now! :)

Thank you for all the support and positive thoughts!Mr.Móric is all better now! :)

We have a rough three days behind us.From all the throwing up and pain he had an attack and after that he didn't eat or drink anything.That's when I convinced my mom to take him to the Vet.I am sure someone or something was watching out and helping Móric,because the Vet said he would have died without help the first day.The lucky thing is that he is such a strong and healthy cat and that we took him to the doctor on time.
Turns out he had some kind of cat epidemic and after three painful injections and much love he is healing and feeling better now.
It was pure luck that my mom thought of the idea of giving him liver.It is his all time favorite food and for now he only eats liver,milk and water.But that is good,because he went without food for two days!
Now that he is healing I'm on to making him a big,soft pillow to rest on. :) He is sleeping all day and is still really calm but I am sure that after a few days he will be his good old trouble making self. :)

So once again thank you for all the support from me and Móric too! :)

In need of positive thoughts!

My baby Móric got sick this morning.He refuses to eat and only drinks water all day and had some bad vomiting too.
He is now sleeping and I'm trying to fead him every half an hour but no success yet.
Tomorrow I'll bee picking up his medicine and hopefully he will feel better soon,we are all really worried about him.
Please send him some positive and healing thoughts!!

Burlap Cuff Tutorial

Here is my first burlap project with a tutorial.Easy and quick to make with many possibilities.

You will need:

-a piece of burlap
-color of choice felt
-manilla hemp
-button,charm or bead of choice
-pins and needles
-scissors and thread
-a sewing machine (optional)
Step1.

Measure around your wrist and cut the base of your cuff from the burlap.Don't forget to add an inch at each side.
Step2.

Pin back the sides.
Step3.

Sew around the outer edge.
Step4.

Trace the cuff on the felt.
Step5.

Cut out the back side of the cuff from the felt.I prepared velcro for closure,but you can use buttons or a zipper.
Step6.

Sew on the velcro,but don't sew the felt on the burlap yet.
Step7.

Sew the button on the middle of the cuff.
Step8.

Sew a longer piece of manilla hemp under the button.
Step9.

Start sewing the manilla on the burlap.You can see that I stiched through the manilla,so that the stiches are invisible.But if you think this is too complicated or you'r not patiente enough you can always glue the design on. :)
Step1O.

Sew the felt on the back of the cuff and try it on.

Done! :)
Hope you enjoyed! :)
