Some for the boys

I've been putting together some Colouring Take-A-Longs for some friends using fabric more suited to boys than vintage floral bed linen.  Here are some of them.

A couple of Cat in the Hat versions:

A couple of construction themed ones:

One with rockets and UFOs:

The ones that don't end up with friends will end up on Felt.

Boys need pencil cases too:

Butterflies, Cats and Zips

So my zips arrived from the US, look at all the lovely colours:

The zips are from K and C supplies, who donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society.

This meant I was able to make a start on all the pencil cases I had cut in antipation of their arrival.  Just a start, I've got quite a few sitting patiently in my 'cut-now-read-to-sew' pile.  Here are some examples: butterlies, Cat in the Hat, and Zoya green oilcloth.

Now for sale in my Felt store.

A crafty challenge

One of my brother-in-laws (he of the giant potato growing fame) couldn't see anything he needed in my Felt store on Cuatro's day so he issued me a challenge - "some sort of photo frame for a standard photo made from the bag material".

Here it is:

An oilcloth fridge magnet photo frame (for a 6 x 4 photo), with a matching smaller one.  It's quite tricky photographing it on the fridge door, the reflective nature of the door messes up with the automatic focus, so could only get it to focus with something in the frame

Here's the matching smaller one.

I'm picking these are the only ones in the world, so surely they should fetch a high price (50% of it will be donated to Sands, as will all the other custom orders I received on Cuatro's day).  I'm off to negotiate a price ...

Third of August is Cuatro’s Day!

In memory of all anencephalic babies and in support of parents and families who have been touched by anencephaly, 50% of proceeds (excluding shipping and website listing fees) from all mila+cuatro products sold on 3 August 2011 will be donated to Sands Auckland Central.  Sands is a charity that supports bereaved parents who lose a child close to birth.

You can view items for sale over on our Felt store. 

We also do custom orders – so if you see something you like but want one slightly different (different colour, a little bigger, a little smaller for example), send us an email and we can arrange a custom order.  Custom orders placed on 3 August 2011 will be included in the 50% donation.

For items sold on any other day, 10% of proceeds will be donated to Sands Auckland Central.
