The Good Auntie

My niece is turning 10 allready. She's going to be a teenager in a few years. Oh my.. She's having a birthday party next saturday, and she wanted me to make "little surprises" for the girls attending her party. What's an aunt to do?

I cut out some old jeans and made the girls little key chains. All the hearts have a little patch in them that has the recipients initial stamped on it. There's one for the birthday girl too. The one with the O. In the pictures the key chains didn't have keyrings yet, 'cos I bought those on the way to the post office.

And what did I get her as a present? Two plain white long sleeved t-shirts and a bundle of fabric markers. I'm getting that girl into crafting even if it kills me!

Urban Embroidery

Thanks to the awsome embrodery of Rachel I got hooked on Urban Threads embroidery patterns.

I think I'll make these into brooches, as soon as I figure out what kind of brooches they want to be. I have some sequins and everything... But yeah, I'm pleased with the way the embroidery pieces turned out. I think the many shades of green on the clover looks very good.

Pimp My Bike!

I know I've been away for almost a month. Life just got in the way. And I still haven't sent Sanna her prize. For shame! But I'll do it next week, I promise!

Last week some asshole stole my bike. Thanks a lot. I just got it out for the spring and the next day it was gone. So I had to get a new bike. A very cheap bike, but hey it goes from point A to B and back again, so I'm happy.

Here she is all blinged out. Yeah.. I thought she needed a little someting something, so I glued on some bling. Me likey. All I need to do now is get some black paint, so i can cover the brand name on the bike.
