Day 84-Ipad cover birthday present

Tomorrow is my beautiful fiancee andee's birthday!! So of course I am crafting him up a birthday gift,
and considering last night he stayed up till 1am to order the new IPAD 2, it made my gift pretty self explanatory... a padded ipad cover with a skull logo on it of course!
I havent quite finished it tonight, I will continue it tomorrow (its been a long day at work, we have been filming a shoot for work, so i have been merchandising and making ALL DAY already...)

Day 78-The Taj Cushion

This weekend my sister Rachael is staying and anyone who stays at my place nowadays realizes that craft is compulsory! see pic below as rach helps out...

Yesterday I was at one of my fav shops called "The Works" ( mainly homewares ) and they had a 3 pack tea towel set with iconic prints on it, funny thing is that the 3 places are meaningful to me, i was in paris two years back with my fiancee and he proposed to me at the eiffel tower, then last year i was in india and visted the taj mahal and then next month i am heading to new york!! so i had to buy them and whip up some more cushions. 

Today's cushion is the "taj".

Sunday-bunny week ends on a high!

Today my real live pet bunnies are featuring as models, which they were less than impressed about!

what is she doing to me this time??

oh god now he is taking photos...

Rabbit pin cushion wristband

Tonight I have made a super cute and very practical rabbit pin cushion wrist band.
I am terrible with pins, I seem to go thru a packet of pins every week! I never put them back in their little boxes and they seem to be breeding in my carpet!!
So hence the rabbit pin cushion wrist band came to life...see below

fill with stuffing and stitch on a little face

cut out the ears and wrist band, stitch these both on the machine and bag them out

i stitched some cute striped ribbon around the base

 i attached velcro to the band to keep it on

 craft out
