Customer photos...

I got this photo from the lovely Amy from Giggleberry Creations of the Jingle Sox Amy bought for her parents. They were a custom item, Amy chose the fabrics, and I think they turned out great! They had an early family Christmas so will be able to enjoy them for a few more weeks. I think they look lovely hanging on the end of their bed! Thanks so much for the photo Amy!




I just made this candy cane holder - although until I get some Candy canes it is a pen holder :)!


back soon!

Cute tags and New Sox...

I am buried in my studio again.. The orders are rolling in for Jingle Sox, and I am having so much fun doing what I love! I made these super cute tags for a customer's Jingle Sox, I love the pink, I hope they do!



And a more traditional colour...



All the old favorites are still selling well.... they do look lovely on my sister's fire place don't they!...







But I am still loving me an Aussie Bush Christmas!!!
Traditional....



Gorgeous blues.... I love the reindeer.


And some modern red and black - sorry about the terrible second picture, the fabric has a real sheen to it and our Aussie sun just didn't want to co-operate!



Remember the giveaway - 2 Jingle Sox, personalised, your choice of fabric... leave a comment to enter ;)!
Big hugs!

My Grandbug's first time at the beach...

Yayy! Summer is well on it's way and we are loving the sunshine! The best part of living here in Perth is our beautiful beaches, and as we live 5 minutes away that is where alot of our time is spent. The model and the other Rock star took the bug for the first time the other day and he loved it!... well except for the part with the waves :)!

Got my rashy and boardies on so I'm ready to go Mum and Dad!


In the car on the way...


Here we are, this is great!!


Sitting under my big umbrella (have to protect my beautiful baby skin!)


hmm, this doesn't taste so good..


Hang on, whats this Mummy..?


Not happy Dad!


That's better, and I'll just hold on to this so no-one takes me back to the waves!!


Isn't he gorgeous!

Inspiration..

I am such a lucky girl, I have the most wonderful customers who are sooo sweet - just take a look at this precious little angel! This is Colin, his mama commissioned me to design him a Jingle Sock for his first Christmas. I knew it had to be very special, just like him! Ooohhh, look at that face, don't you just want to scoop him up and smother him with kisses!!! I can't look at his sweet little face without smiling!


Colin gave me such inspiration, I found the perfect fabric then added a little extension to his cuff - giving him an extra Jingly Jingle Sock!


Merry Christmas sweet Colin!

Hope

I have finallys set up some listing in my etsy store to personalise my stockings. I can put any name in any size that a customer wants on the cuff of the stocking or I can make a cute little name tag that attaches to the stocking - what do you think?

I do have other fonts and plenty of embroidery floss colours and can make the lettering as large as the customer likes.



These cute little tags go well on a busy fabric cuff - it is nice to have something a bit different sometimes and this is my different :)!


Hope you are all well, back tomorrow with the giveaway!
Big hugs and God Bless

Look what I made!

Tonight I made some lace with my wonderful, gorgeous, fabulous Bernina, that I love love, love!! What a machine she is! I know alot of you have embroidery machines but I have only had mine for a little bit and am still learning all the little tricks! Today I learnt to make a lace heart! Although I wish I had taken more photos of the process, I might do another and take them from beginning to end!

Anyway all I needed was this - embroidery thread and soluble vilene, which I set in the hoop - 2 pieces of it, double thickness!

Still going!




All finished!

Then you run it under water so that the soluble vilene disolves, - which it does... wow! Then dry it off (lie it flat on a towel and pat dry or gently dry with a hairdryer) and
Voila!! you get a gorgeous lace heart!


Just wanted to show you some of the lovely colours Michael Miller has out in their fairy frost range - and there are heaps more, gorgeous lilacs and purples, yellow, lemons, pinks in every shade ..pretty much every colour of the rainbow! Hmmm, what will I make with these!?



and here is another Jingle Sock, in Crystal shimmery pinks and whites - I have more to come and lots of new things to share, but rght now it's off to bed for me!





And above are these quilted sox I made that look a bit more 'country' style. I made a similar pair for Amy at Giggleberry Creations for a gift she needed and she was thrilled to bits with them! They were a similar style but in Dark reds/greens, the Primitive Country look. Anyway, what do you think? I would love some feedback!

Also! I will be ANNOUNCING A GIVEAWAY on the weekend and all comments from here onward will be in the draw - GUESS WHAT I'M GIVING AWAY!!!! Hint?? ...your choice of..)

Something exciting his way comes........

I am SOOOO excited, Jingle sox will be featuring in my favorite Quilting shop here in Perth, Homespun Workshop will be stocking some of my Jingle Sox - Woo-Hoo!! So if you are near Willagee, head down and check out their beautiful fabrics and quilts and maybe join up for a class or two!, these ladies are the bomb!!! So friendly, and so helpful, it is like walking back in time, the way the greet you and the service they give - they really care about you and what you are looking for, and they love fabric too so if you are a fabric-a-holic (like me!) you will be in good company!!

You can even sign up for the Block of the Month with Mary Bird, her beautiful quilt patterns are available for sale there also! Many of you have been asking me about my Mod Scallops Quilt blocks (yes...! Iknow..., I have to get it sewned to gether and finished, or actually both of them finished now that I have made one for my Mumma too hehe!!!!) Here it is, yet to have the sashing, edging and blnding finished - and quilting done of course, I can't wait to finish this one, I am going to stipple it myself!!


Anyhoo, I will take some photos of the shop, the fabrics (swoon!!), and the workshop area when I take in the Jingle Sox in the next couple of days - and you can all drool over the fabric, and the gorgeous shop!!

Will have a few new designs finished this weekend so will have some new pics of them soon also!! But until then, enjoy a few bright colours, the Disney Princess ones are too cute!!.. I just wish I was 7 again!! hehe!








Take care and have a great day!
God Bless you all BIG! (Coz you know, if you ask Him, He will!!!)
