I had planned a rather traditional what-we-did-on-our-summer holiday/hints of autumn post. Whilst away we spotted native crayfish, met dear friends in a beautiful garden, came face to face with great crested newts, ate delicious food (I made buttery parmesan-laden polenta with mushrooms - it's SO good) and spent time with family.
Sometimes though, an idea for a project seizes me. You know the feeling - it just presents itself, fully formed inside the noggin and resistance is futile. I had to carpe the crafty diem.
So, during a quick trip to buy Autumn tights for the little ones I pounced on some plain long-sleeved T shirts. I ferreted in the cupboard for my fabric pens, practised some doodles and went for it. After a brief spell under the iron I was done. The girls have happy-making new tops and I have that slight glow that comes from a quick, satisfying project.
Right, we're off to pick more blackberries from our top secret squirrel location....
Lucky girls - clever mummy!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! If you ever decide to take orders, I would like a bird-and-spray one in a grown-up size please. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy week!

I'm sure the girls will show off mum's artistry.
You cannot live too far from my sister in the UK.

ReplyDeleteWonderful. You are such a great artist, lucky girls. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI love these drawings emma, especially the birdy on the branch one, how lovely for your girls :) good luck with the blackberry picking, I have been doing the same at the weekend, makes such lovely puddings :) safxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique top you daughter now has..... I am sure that this will be the first of many. Love your drawing x
ReplyDeleteOoh, now I'm inspired Emma! How well do the fabric pens survive (endless) washing? Love the designs x
ReplyDeletehow lovely!!
ReplyDeletebet you won lots of mummy points for those.
(apparently I lost all mine this week for cooking peas twice...)
Beautiful Emma, so much lovelier than Tshirts covered with brand names, superheros, etc. You draw so well
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project! I bet your girls are delighted. I only wish I could draw!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool tee shirt. We have used coloured fabric pens in the past and have had a range of Nintendo/fairy/rainbow creations but it looks much prettier as a simple one colour design.
ReplyDeleteThanks for admiring my latest knit xx

How charming - I cannot believe that smallest pebble was a babe in a sling when we first met. Where does it go?
ReplyDeleteToo sweet. Both designs are gorgeous but I like the the cloud one best :)
