Baby Boy Onesies

Merry Christmas to all my readers!

It would seem that my go to gift for new babies are painted onesies. I tried a different paint this time, my normal fabric paint needs to dry for a few days then it is ready to wash. This paint uses the iron to heat set it... and I scorched the onesies a bit. Luckily my paint is back in stock at the craft store and I don't need to worry about ironing it too much or not enough!



The giraffe is from the silhouette online store, I think he looks super cute on a onesie.

Agate Pendants

Years ago I bought some polished agate on eBay to make pendants for my little sister and my sister in law. Then I came across the agate again while browsing on eBay, which has resulted in some lovely pendants for myself and as gifts.



The blue one at the end is my favourite and I wear it most of the time, it has pretty much replaced my tree of life wire wrap pendant that I used to wear. They are quite big (and therefore quite heavy) and as yet I haven't found a chain I like for them,one day I will find the perfect one!

I enjoy making these pendants and find that I make around five of them each time I sit down to make one, they are quite addictive little projects to make. Now that I've been writing about them and looking through the photos I really feel like making more. Unfortunately Christmas is not too far away and I still have a lot to do - and not enough time as usual!
