Calling All Monsters!

A few weeks back you might remember a post about me sewing something special for my Godson's 2nd birthday?? Well his party was last Saturday so now I can FINALLY reveal his special gift!

A MONSTER!!! His Mummy and Daddy call him a Little Monster so they found it fitting to have a Monster Party for him! So Aunty Kirra decided a Monster Teddy would be the perfect present for a Little Monster :D

I kinda tought it looks like a frog, and one of the Birthday Boy's Cousin's said when he opened it "Wow! Froggy!" haha. So I guess it does look like a frog, but it's meant to be a Monster :P

And here is the special card I made for him :) 

Isn't the Monster on the front groovy! I used the following Stampin' Up! Punches to create him - Small Heart, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 2 1/2" (6.4cm) Circle, 3/4" (1.9cm) Circle and 1 3/4" (4.4cm) Circle. As well as the Wacky Wishes Hostess Stamp Set. 

All of these Punches can be purchased through me, if you would like to place an order, you can contact me at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com or on 0402 906 605.

Let me know you popped in!

Until next time,
Keep Smiling

Today's Challenge

Today's Challenge for me is to create a pattern for my Godson's birthday gift.  I can't say what his gift is, just in case his mummy is reading this blog, but I think he's going to love it! 

Its very boyish and something that he can take with him and love for a long time.

I went to the quilting shop in town this morning and found some adorable fabric for it, spent more than I thought but for my special little guy's birthday, money is not an issue.... Plus all the extra love that goes in makes so much more special!

His party isn't until October 6th, so check back after then to see what the special little item I made him is! For now Ill give you a sneak peek at the fabric and the appliqués I got for it!  Can't do that because Mr S must have the camera, it seems to have gone AWOL haha. So I will leave you all in suspense until after TJ's party!

Until next time,
Keep Smiling!

7 Weeks To Go!

So as the title suggests, I have just 7 weeks of this pregnancy left. 7 weeks of feeling like a while. 7 weeks of sweating like a pig and 7 weeks of feeling like complete crap, aching all over, feeling all these weird and wonderful feelings that are associated with Pregnancy.


My little baby has everything all ready for it. I made a 'Winnie The Pooh' chair cover to match the nursery theme and to cover up the unsightly rocking chair fabric. And I have also made a skirt for the bassinett that was my little sister's when she was born, coming up to 18 years ago. The original skirt for it is a little worst for wear, a few holes appearing around it and looked extremely tattered, so I grabbed some 2nd hand fabric and set to work to make the new skirt. Both these projects (the chair cover and the bassinett skirt) took less than a day! I was so super proud of myself! 


I have since not touched my sewing machine, but I am seriously considering going up stairs and making the nappy covers I said I was planning on making back in August! I have 7 weeks until baby is born, maybe I could put them off for that little bit longer?? But I know I really shouldnt haha.


Ok Im out to decide if I want to make them today or not.


Until next time,
Keep Smiling
Kirra :)
