Custom order, now available in my Etsy Shop |
My lovely friend & an existing customer asked me for a picture like this one (which was one of my first pieces)
for her nephew, but it had to be kept a surprise as her sister is also one of my customers and follows my Facebook Page which is where most of my new pieces get shown first!
Both were really pleased with it and Benjamin (the 1 year old recipient) well, lets hope he likes it too!
The other thing I've been working on, is something that's been at the back of my mind for a while... a VW Campervan Hot Water Bottle Cover...... Ta-Da!
As usual, my ever willing volunteers were happy to pose for pictures!
The Hot Water Bottle Covers are available in the shop and can be made in any colour with a personalised number plate (Kids not included unless I've had a really bad day ;-p)
Now I'm going to mosey over to Handmade Monday over at Wendy's lovely blog and see what everyone else has been up to - Have a lovely week!
I like the customization of your helicopter. The felt pictures are bold and bright - perfect for a little ones bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThanks - it certainly appealed to my son, who wanted to keep it, despite his name not being Benjamin!!
DeleteGood work with the pictures and the hot water bottle covers - could do with one at the moment I'm freezing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ali - I have to say the temptation to keep it to myself was very tempting!
DeleteThe felt pictures are fab, and I love your happy helpers!
ReplyDeleteThanks - hope they keep on being happy to help, they're very photogenic and I've had a couple of offers for them already!
DeleteYour felt pictures are great, perfect for smaller children's bedrooms. I'm sure they'll be really popular.
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie - more to come soon :-) Simmi x
DeleteFacebook is a great place to show things off but sometimes we need to keep things a secret because we don't want certain people to see things. We wouldn't like it without our 'likers' though. Love the felt pictures, they are nice and bright. Love the hot water bottle covers too, nice and cosy.

Thanks Jan - I know, it's so true and I'm SO bad at keeping secrets as a rule! Torture ;-) Simmi x
DeleteGreat hot water bottle covers and the little pictures are great for the nursery wall.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I really enjoyed creating the aeroplane, so there'll definitely be more to come :-) Simmi x
DeleteSuch a clever idea and the kids clearly love them, so no doubt other kids (and big kids) will too
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen :-) Yup, so far the big kid in our house seems quite taken with the hot water bottle cover! Simmi x
DeleteI love the brightness and the fun of all these! The campervan hottie cover is just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy :-) Hope you have a good week! Simmi x
DeleteThe felt pictures are wonderful, fab idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny :-) Cheers for stopping by - hope you have a good week! Simmi x
Deletelove the simple, bold pictures, perfect for a childs bedroom! And hot water bottle covers, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteCheers - the hot water bottle cover is popular already - the first one's already in the post to a customer! Simmi x
DeleteAww I love the pictures, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Harriet :-) Hope you have a good week, Simmi x
DeleteI love the felt pictures. I'm sure they will both look lovely on the little one's bedroom wall.
ReplyDeleteThe hottie bottie is such fun. Are you planning to do other makes of cars. How about my favourite, the Mini....
Hey Gertie, thanks :-) It just so happens that there will be a couple of other models coming... watch this space (and remind me in a couple of weeks!!) Simmi x
DeleteVery cute photos. They both look very happy.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks :-) They're total posers! Simmi x
DeleteAww that picture is soooo cute! I love the hot water bottle cover too, what fantastic models! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie - They of course completely agree with you ;-) Simmi x
DeleteLove the hot water bottle covers! And that felt picture is just perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona :-) Have a lovely week, Simmi xx
DeleteI've seen quite a few campervan themed crafts but never a hot water bottle cover before. It will come in handy at the moment with the snow.
ReplyDeleteCheers Stephen, it surprised me that there aren't many HWB covers with campervans on out there - definitely handy at the mo! Simmi x
DeleteI love the pictures, they're perfect for kids rooms, nice and bright and with a lovely charm. The VW bottle cover just needs one number plate please - mine :-) This might be the closest I ever get to owning one :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev. If you'd like one I'd be more than happy to make you one - just give me a shout :-) Simmi x
DeleteAh very cute felt picture! But the hot water bottle is my favourite - they look so cosy! If I get some clients (fingers crossed!) I'll be investing in matching his& hers for my parents' veedub adventures :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fb like too - I can't believe how many followers you have now, amazing! I need some popularity tips! ;) x
Thanks lovely :-) Ha - love the sound of his & hers hotties! I shall happily share the secret - I got to 400 likers and then FB sent me a $25 voucher to use on an advert and it gained me nearly 1000 followers in the space of about 3 weeks!! Hope you have a great week & I can't wait to see the piano in 3D :-) Simmi x
DeleteThe felt pictures are really lovely. Also love the hot water bottle covers - very popular a the moment I would think. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteAhhh thanks Jill :-) Yep, they're flying out of the door as fast as I can make them, which is really gratifying! You too, Simmi x
DeleteYour felt pictures are wonderful, they'll look great in a child's room. I hope your models don't charge too much :) The VW hot water bottle covers are lovely and if the weather continues we'll need them all year round.
ReplyDeleteAli x
Thanks Ali :-) Thankfully at the moment I can pay the models in hot cross buns, but I suspect their fees will go up to chocolate eggs soon!! Simmi x
ReplyDeleteLove your felt picture, and the hot water bottle covers look so cute. I am rather fond of VW campervans, I bet they would sell really well at the campervan shows!
ReplyDeleteWendy x
Thanks Wendy - I'm really hoping to get into the VW show near me in September, I think it would a great kick start to the 'silly season' :-) Simmi x
DeleteLove the colourful felt pictures. How good to have such willing photographic volunteers :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :-) Yep, they are fab, bless 'em! Just made a pair of baby shoes and they both pointed out that they can't model them till I make a bigger size! Opportunists! Simmi x
DeleteCool hot water bottle cover
ReplyDeleteHi! Very sweet models you've got ;)
ReplyDeleteI've just found Your blog from MakeandCraft forum, checked it out and I think you've got some great ideas. As much as I have read now, the orange candle holder is GRRRREAT! And childrens craft party..some day when I have children (hopefully), I would defenitely organize this.
I have just started with my DIY blog, if you wish to check it out, I would be really pleased of getting followers/readers :)
Have a nice evening!
