'Mitaines' for Ooma!

Took to knitting during the holidays after discovering a pattern for fingerless gloves for myself. Ooma wanted of course to be in on the whole thing and wanted a pair ready for monday morning - mine are yet to be finished but here are Ooma's...in pink of course!

Little Rock Tunic

Bought this great book (Tuniques pour Petits et Grands, Hachette) and decided to get creative during the holidays with Ooma! Fabric and colour combinations chosen all by herself....model Esprit Rock.

and here is the finished product....

Mobiles!

Recent creations have taken the form of mobiles for kid's and adult rooms alike, with birds swinging on a perch surrounded by fabric lovehearts, and metal cutout motifs. Some became decorative objects for Christmas, with people hanging them as table decorations for the festive season. Here are a selection...

Christmas Crafters Market, ANDILLY (95), France. 4/5 December 2010

Here it is...the official poster for the Christmas Crafter's Market that I'm organising through the Association Au Comptoir des Créateurs, and with lots of help from the local mairie d'Andilly ( the village council). 22 crafty exhibitors will be displaying and selling their hand-made créations, in their own mini-boutique booths for the weekend of the 4th and 5th December 2010. Hot wine, tartiflette, and creative activities for the kids, a crafty, fun and Christmas ambiance assured! Please support our design and craft community by visiting our website here or coming to do your christmas shopping at the fair!

Christmas Crafted Mobiles

Starting to get organised for the Christmas Craft Fair that I'm organising in the village where I live (but more about that in another post sometime)...I've been working on some handmade mobiles for grown-ups this time round (although versions for kid's rooms are also in the pipeline), with the emphasis on rich, retro, yet unusual colour combinations for christmas. This first attempt is in a dark grey damask print and lime spotted fabric, with hints of natural linen...hearts and stars, snowflakes and christmas wishes to hang in your entrance hall as a modern, yet homely christmas decoration.
