Showing off: Children's artwork jewellery.

twochickstoo at Etsy has made this lovely way of capturing and not to mention showing off your little un's artwork.

You scan a copy over to her or send the orginal to her house after paying and by 10 days your kiddie's work will be forever cherished in one of these resin cameo pendants. Love it.

DIY idea!

Found this little picture, thought some of you may like to see it as it would be perfect for a mobile that is non gender specfic. Also, fish are whey under-rated!


Im doing something a bit diferent but am using very similar methods, will post when completed.

I'm feeling clucky and nesty...

I want to start making something for the new arrival but my knitting skills leave a lot to be desired. Something fabricy and cosy, something for the cot or to be wrapped up . Saying that, I have always wanted a mobile of the solar system hung over the cot or something, the way I envisioned it, it would look amazing.
I am just fearful that whatever I make I am somehow constructing my child's identity absent mindedly...
Ummm maybe because it is 'my child' I am over thinking the basic of tasks.
A couple of years ago I made an embroidered baby-grow for my Godson, something like this is always nice to get everyone gooey and excited. But in our case, me and Richard do not want to know the sex until the child is born, not to mention we are not 100% on names as of yet. Also, things are always simpler for other people (and people's children!).
This is me and little Brodie in 2008, was just 11 days old when this was taken. Still as pink as a beetroot. Bless.
