We’ve had a few kids parties recently, and due to the constraints of living on one income, I’ve tried to use materials at hand to make presents and cards that aren’t too crappy.
Of course, I love the end result, and would be thrilled if anyone made similar things for me, but I have to rely on people to appreciate my warped sense of colour and style.
Here are a few examples.
Birthday card for James, Gouache on Paper, 2008. Collection of James, Granville, Aged One.
Party outfit for Ursula, Cotton, Micro Suede, Lycra, Elastic, 2008. Collection of Ursula, Neutral Bay, Aged 7 Months.
Library Bag for Josiah. Cotton and Acrylic Ribbon, 2008.
Birthday Card for Josiah. Gouache on Paper, 2008. Collection of Josiah of Granville, aged 1 year.
I also made a Library bag for Hunter, but some idiot forgot to get a picture.

I love them all !
And the slippers you made for Alex were a big hit in Cairns and Ravenshoe …. ok maybe not Cairns as it was too hot. But for Ravenshoe they are perfect.
I have orders for 2 small boys and 2 grandparents (if you have an adult pattern…) .
Every time Alex sees his pair – its Lala ? Lala ? Lala?
Too cool !

Hey, nice! I really like those little baby shoes. Do you have a pattern or a website reference for them? (I am a bad sewer.)

Hunter’s library bag is fantastic and her grateful mothers will take a pic for you to add to your portfolio. Incidentally, she LOVES the book – we’ve read it a trillion times. Thanks again
