Twit twoo!

Say hello to Mrs Twoo! After seeing these owl cushions everywhere in those adorable interior and gift shops I was smitten with them. But as a student my purse strings have to remain quite tight, but as I needed one in my life I made her. There's a lovely lady on ebay who sells these kits for a fraction of the price of a complete cushion, so I bought one and off I went on my sewing expedition. Took a few days with on and off sewing but I'm proud of the outcome, and made a blue one for my boyfriend who we named Mr Twit and Mrs Twoo. Lovely :)

Love, Nikki.

Heart of gold

Well it's not quite a heart of gold... more like hearts of rice and lavender. But you know, gold would have been much more valuable... but not as good as preventing my smelly shoe hanger! However, making the hearts wasn't quite the experience I expected it to be, I'd sewed up the hearts right sides together with a little gap for turning right side out and filling... I hadn't even thought how I'd fill the hearts! Cue the handmade funnel out of a bit of jotter pad paper. It did the job... even if lavender and rice ended up all over the floor. Less waffling and time to unveil the results:

Adorable? I think so! I'm going to try and make some with loops on so I can hang them on my hangers next, but that's just another thing added to my long to-do list!

Love, Nikki.
