This is a project that I have been working on for a while. It's a fabric, animal themed sensory baby book which I have sewn by hand. It has lots of different textures of fabrics and things to touch like buttons, beads and ribbon as well as bells in the whale, squeakers in the octopus and sheep and crinkly fabric in the butterfly wings. My daughter really enjoy playing with so I think it was worth the effort even it did take months to finish- I think that next time I'll have to pick a non sewing project!

I've been meaning to post this for ages. This is a toy box that I hand painted for my daughter. It has a woodland theme which is very similar to the wall mural that I did at the end of last year. I used emulsion paints and finished it off with a top coat of varnish.

This is the first time I've posted anything in ages- time for being creative seems to go out of the window a little bit when you have a little one to look after! Yesterday I had a craft day with some friends and I made a giraffe baby toy (idea taken from pintrest). Not convinced that sewing is one of my strong points but my daughter seems pleased with it :-) Hoping to get back into illustration a bit now that she's getting a bit bigger- hopefully more posts to follow soon!

Here are pictures of the finished resin toy as promised! Making resin toys is not the easiest hobby but it was great fun to give it a go and try something 3.D for a change.

This is the purse that I made from the owl fabric that I had printed as part of my final major project at uni.
