Red Chocolate: December 2011

Monday, December 12, 2011. The cutest zombie evah! The computer game/app/whatever of the year around these parts was Plants vs Zombies. I don't usually get into games, but this one is a lot of fun. It isn't too hard which helps! I had planned to make Caleb a zombie doll for his birthday but never got around to it, but I have done it in time for Christmas. I made him using the Folkster. Pattern, and purchased the wool felt from Winterwood. Which is deliciously thick and awesome- none of this. I made him f...

Red Chocolate: January 2012
http://redchocolatebybek.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. Pillows for the man. I saw this tutorial. For personalised pillow cases a long time ago over at Handmade Romance. I don't keep a coherent list of tutorials I want to try, but this one stuck in my head. I finally got onto it for Christmas as a gift for Chris. I imitated Evie's style but tried to make them look like us. Chris' one has ginger facial hair because we both find it amusing that while he has brown hair, he grows orange stubble. Thursday, January 12, 2012. Eve loves to...

Red Chocolate: KCWC Day 5 and 6
http://redchocolatebybek.blogspot.com/2012/04/kcwc-day-5.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. KCWC Day 5 and 6. Getting a good picture of a toddler is hard work, but when you are also trying to get a clear picture of what they are wearing, it is a job for the professionals! For this post we will have to make do with me and my iPhone.). I wanted to make another pair of pants for Eve, and the best fabric for the job that I had on hand was brown fine-whale cord. Not the world's most inspiring of fabrics. Then, I came across this adorable pair of shorts. It is purely for perso...

http://redchocolatebybek.blogspot.com/2013/01/fabric-flower-crown.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2013. I can't believe I'm blogging craft again. It's been a while! I made this fabric flower crown mostly to see if I could! Tutorial for the flowers and then free-styled a bit with some floral wire and sticky floral tape. It gets less sticky. But I was a bit worried at first! I will be making a few more of these I think! I know 2 little girls whod love it if I made them these. May 11, 2013 at 11:08 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A word about the header. Kids art and craft.

Saturday, November 12, 2011. Eve turned one and here are (some of) the pics. Nothing happens quickly on my blog these days, but better late than never: here is but a sample of the photos my talented sister of ESJAYcreative took back in September! It is hard to pick a favourite. and decide what to frame. I have a huge 16x20" enlargement of the full family shot with the "1" balloon as that is a firm favourite. Just need an enormous frame now! I bought the balloon from Lark. Eve's adorable dress was bought ...

Red Chocolate: June 2011
http://redchocolatebybek.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. My husband and I went away for the weekend just gone to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We took the Scmevebot (aka our baby Eve) with us, as she still gets all her drinks from me. The older two had an absolute blast with my mum and dad including going to a music festival on Saturday night. They especially enjoyed rocking out to the band, Chasing Light. Anyways, on the weekend I made this little hat using this tutorial. From A Beautiful Mess. Hmmm, so cute! Lucky for us, ...

Thursday, May 3, 2012. Ellie Bag (Christmas 2011 Backlog! I made this nearly 6 months ago, but I wanted to blog it. And am still on a blogging roll from last week. I made this Elephant handbag for Jemima for Christmas last year. She is from Hillary Lang's book. Which is as awesome as can be. Ellie bag is very sweet, but she doesn't hold much more than a few lip balms (which is all a 5 year old girl needs anyway! I discovered I love sewing with faux fur even if the fibers end up everywhere!

Red Chocolate: October 2011
http://redchocolatebybek.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 6, 2011. When I read this lovely post. Over at Karlyn's place the other day, I was reminded to post a little afternoon activity we indulged in recently. Caleb and Jemima each chose a colour and planned a self portrait, and away we went. I couldn't resist joining in, and having baby Eve in the family was the perfect excuse. She was asleep anyways. You snooze, you lose. The paintings are not proudly displayed in the older kids' shared room. We are all quite happy with the result. My siste...
