Mother's day Spring hanging decorations

Lately I have been creating these pretty Mother's Day/Easter/Spring gift hanging decorations. I chose some fabrics and made flowers from then, then decorated the rest of the wreaths using coordinating ribbons, buttons, lace, fabrics and ricrac.

Each decoration measures 20cm (8") in diameter and has a pretty coordinating bow and ribbon attached with which to hang it in your home! They are currently available from my Folksy shop here. If you have an idea of something similar that you would like please do get in touch with me.

Some recent projects

Here are some of my latest creations: A lace covered miniature wreath with fabric flowers and buttons, Fijjo Flint Egg cups mounted in a box frame and a little mosaic tile.

Button Projects

Having not felt that creative over the dull January, I decided to something with all the buttons I've amassed. I had a small type tray which I had painted ages ago and could not think what to do with, and I saw a post where someone else had filled all the spaces with multi coloured buttons so I decided to do that!

Secondly I made a simple artwork for my friend's new baby, Jacob. Using blue buttons I created the initial J and framed it in a simple pale blue painted frame.

J for Jacob!

Miniature British Jubilee Collage

Because I was so pleased with my British Jubilee Collage I decided to make a miniature version.

This cute little box framed collage features many of the same things as the large one, such as buttons, ribbons, fabric and bunting but measures only 88mm (3 1/2") square.Very cute I think!

British Jubilee Collage

This box frame of Britishness has all you need to celebrate the jubilee and all things British this summer, made by me!

It features delicate paper bunting, buttons, london fabric, ribbon and screen printed british icons.

A perfect souvenir from the summer of 2012.

Available from my Folksy shop now, one of a kind so get in quick!

 Bus, phone box and stamp are all from my Best of British screen print.
