It feels like I have had some VERY random crafty urges of late..
I think I blame pinterest. In fact I do blame pinterest.
I log on every day at the moment, just to spend 15 minutes finding beautiful inspiring images of "made" things.. it is like a drug lol!
I found a really cute picture of some fabric birds (a tutorial in fact) which looked easy enough...
*cough*
I can't decide if I love or hate them...
I have a feeling it's their eyes. I need to investigate small black ones, as the white glassy ones make them look like zombie birds. (shudder at the thought!)
Actually, I think I need to take them out of my bedroom before I go to bed, just in case.
these were made with some fabric scraps, so are not really well matched as they were "first attempts"... I will admit to having made a further three in a vain attempt not to make them so sinister.
So far no luck.

| And then there was this ( pink tulle wreath) I started it thinking it would go in my house, but the more it came on, the more I realised it really wouldn't. It was obviously meant for a little girlie. It did turn out ok - though it took a long time. Worth it though, looks very pretty in real life. I gave it to my cousin's little girl who loved it *yay* |
So after some mixed reviews of my alternative crafting... I thought I would give myself a scrappy hour to play with paper again. Phew.
I made this for the Fiskarettes blog using border punches and the everywhere window punch.
those cute flags came from the Make and Create August kit.
According to my random daily event list... I have some lego to tread on!
(but not before I put the zombie birds out.... yeeeep!)
PS: LEARN SOMETHING NEW starts tomorrow!!

It is my favourite class of Shimelle's ever!

Pinterest is oddly addicting, isn't it? I just told my sister in law about it. She's a painter and finding so much inspiration on that site.

So cute the zombie birds!!!
Love your fabric birds! So cute, adorable prints. Do you make these for an Etsy shop or just for fun?

I rather like the zombie birds!

I like the wreth way better than the zombie birds. I agree black eyes would make them much less zombie like. :-) #commenthour.
Love this gorgeous layout, SJ and the pretty tulle garland too:-D
