TCR #45: Sugar & Spice

My sisters, both wonderful and with distinctive personalities :)
I have to make, color and assemble most of the embellisments. Trying my best to get as close as possible with the given palette. It wasn't easy but I had so much fun because I'm exploring and learning. Thanks for viewing :)

TCR Palette #44

I adore this palette so much... It's very refreshing. This photo was taken when my son is three months old. I embossed the photo mat with Cuttlebug and cut the letters for my son's name using Slice. The accent was made out of fabric flowers, layered and embellished with ribbons and beads. I added plastic leaves and grass, glittered glue for the stem of baby's breath, for volume and texture. The journal is a poem I found from a scrapbook resource. Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend :)

That's all for now... Thanks and have a great weekend :)

TCR#43: Ravyn's Baptism

This was really a challenge for me since I only have a few ready-made embellishments having these hues. I decided to make my own paper flower accents using Slice then decorated them with buttons, fabric flowers, doilies and inks.

Crochet: Afghan Blanket (Motifs)

Glad to have another off yesterday... It was another holiday. In the morning I did the laundry and then after, we went out to do a little shopping with my husband. I was able to find the crochet hooks I've been looking for. At home, I continued working on the crochet motifs for my Afghan Blanket. I got the pattern from Crochet Today! Magazine July/August 2009 Issue and it's also free from their site. Though, I just made use of a different color scheme because I'm making it for my son, I wanted the colors to be vibrant and playful and that the size of my hook is a bit smaller because that was the only biggest hook I had when I started making the motifs. I might add more motifs to achieve the desired size.

Thanks for viewing and happy crafting! :)

Home and Craft: Miggy's Little Corner

My son is now 3 years old and he really is playful. He loves playing with crayons, papers, pencils and the like. Doing ABC's and numbers are his favorites. I decided to make a little corner where he can spend time doing what he loves. The corner is just adjacent to my craft space. Good thing, we bought a convertible feeding high chair. Now, he uses it as his learning desk and chair.

I made a pen holder out of Spam can, wrapped with patterned paper and decorated with embellishments and doodles. I wrote the words Create, Fun, Enjoy and Explore. Then I attached tags with the words Play and Nice. No matter how young he is, I like to inspire him to learn. Then I loaded it with pencils, kid's scissors (which can only cut paper and not his little fingers), erasers, fancy tapes and coloring materials.

I placed everything in a basket bin so he can just dig in for extra fun! (basket bin, fancy tapes and erasers from Saizen)

Here he is enjoying his little corner especially the fancy tapes I bought from Saizen. It's nice to encourage young minds to explore and learn. As for me, it is our bonding time :)
