my sister has a wonderful kitchen. as big as my kitchen and dining room put together, all wood and bright pastels, a huge table the centre of life in the place. I, I have very little money for Christmas presents after a couple of large, unexpected bills. motivation to get printing high, planning low. a bucket, a kids foam alphabet and a makeshift cardboard triangle stuck to a block of wood=a present for my snowglobe-collecting northern hemisphere sibling.
want one? let me know in the comments and i'll rustle one up for for whomsoever the pick-a-number app. chooses
could you spend hours ogling others creative projects? if so, go here.
These are brilliant !! !! !!

DeleteSo pretty! Love all the bright colours. Don't unexpected bills just sick! It's great motivation to get a little creative though!
ReplyDeleteso true, i've never made as much or tried so many new things (or been as happy) since we've gone down an income for child raising purposes x
DeleteI'm sure she will love it:) I tried stenciling something on a tea towel this weekend. Still deciding if I like it, or if it is destined for the reject pile (i.e. my kitchen:) Cyndy
ReplyDeleteooh i haven't tried stenciling. mind i'm not good at it on paper so i'm sure it'd be worse on fabric!
DeleteThese are really lovely. I've never had the courage to try my hand at screen printing. Love your make-do approach!
ReplyDeletethanks Tania. they're not screen printed tho (i don't have the nous or the courage) just block printed ala children potato printing! Lovely blog you have btw x
