Boys polar fleece pants

Very comfy and cosy polar fleece pants made for, and modelled by, my little J. These have an elasticated waistband and are a straight leg style. The pocket is edged with black cotton lycra with a raw, curled edge.  Pants in this style and your choice of fabric will cost $23.

Birthday cards

I decided to sew some personalised cards for friends. Very easy and quite effective I think!

Paper mache birds

Inspired by a post on a blog I follow (http://ohsocrafty.blogspot.com), my 4 year old son and I made our own versions of the paper mache bird. I helped my son a bit, but he did the main shape and stuck on the final embellishments. I actually prefer his to mine (his is on the left, mine on the right)!! We used torn-up pieces from a floral picture from a magazine for the final paper layer. Using a glue gun we then added eyes, a kebab stick beak, pipe cleaner legs and feathers.

PS. I have decided to blog about my crafty projects as well as my Meggipeg designs that are for sale as I keep getting sidetracked and working on different things.
