The Little Gussy Collection is growing


Hi everyone! It's nearly TGIF!!! ...and Melbourne weather has just been toying with me.
Tuesday it was sunny and beautiful, which inspired this dress


then the weather was sunny but windy, which inspired this gorgeous Vintage Bird Tee
 
 ...and this tussled Tiny Ballerina Tee





 then sunny again, which meant children played happily outside while I finished off 
This I HEART Tee and Bloomers
today it was sunny/ rainy so I finished a few pieces for the Little Man Collection


This Moustache set...and...



 The Checkers Shorts with this special Blackboard Tee...Cute isn't it?
I think it's so versatile, what you can do with it! 
More about it next time. It's time this Gussy goes to bed!...

All these items are now available through the Little Gussy Facebook PAge

We've been sewing...



Since the weather hasn't been so caring...rain, rain, go away!...
Me and little miss Ella have been sewing..
I showed her how to make these jo-jo flowers...
  
...and she's pretty good at maneuvering that needle!
I love days like these where we can't do anything outdoors9cos of you silly rain!)
So we gather around the kitchen table, the light is on(because it really is that dark and gloomy in our house), Ella with her box of fabric scraps, me with my sewing machine and tons of fabric!, we sew, we chat...Leslie Feist (Let it Die...my music for whenever Im creating something)
It's nice! It feels like we're creating special memories. I hope they will somehow stay with Ella even if she decides, she never wants to see another needle and thread again. I hope that she will remember and cherish these special moments we had together...like I do!

The mood is so nostalgic here all of a sudden...perfect to show you my little sets I've created


  Pink Belle totally shabby chic
Sepia Vintage in brown toned down colours
You might remember these Baby Bloomers? 

I felt like something was missing...so I added a flower yo-yo. Perfect...I think
  And now? These items are available on my Facebook Page 
While there, like my Page and get FREE Shipping till next Friday!
 
I've got Baby Bloomers, Shorts, Skirts, Tops, Headbands, Brooches, and Little Men Colection. Also soon I'm gonna add dresses to the mix. They're already on my cutting table? :)
Happy Friday Everyone!!!

From Cake Pops to sewing...


Originally I planned on showing you my cake pops that I made. We've been in love with them ever since I made them for Ella's birthday!
However, the photos I took for you, turned out too dark...Personally I blame this rainy-grey weather that Melbourne's been blessing us with. So...




Instead I'll give you a snippet of what I've been working on...

Baby Bloomers!
 
 
 
Hope Noah can forgive me for putting him in girls' bloomers, for the purpose of this photo shoot :)
 
Also made some dribble bibs for Noah. Poor Bugga is teething and absolutely soaks his clothes.
 
 
I got carried away and made more for girls...perfect for my niece!
Last but not least a black flower head band for my other niece!
I'm off to practice taking photos...back to basics

Decoupage still holds my heart...



I used to do decoupage (here). Loved it!!!! But because it is time consuming, took up a LOT! A LOT of room in our tiny house, I had to wind it down... So if I'm not sewing I tend to drift towards the beautiful images of decoupaged things, that you can find all over the net. The funny thing with the net is that, you think up an idea, for a second doubt that it's do-able, google it, and it turns out that already 10 people all over the world have proceeded you.
Here is a colection of the beautiful, the strange, and the very creative decoupaged items...
...
 
 
home furnishings...
  
Clever decoupaged Bag...with tutorial 
if you want to try it yourself
Beautiful chairs


                        and bench...


suitcases...I want!




even a decoupaged bathroom...not my style, but hey! each to their own, right?


and my favourite...a decoupaged beetle....


If you want to see my decoupaged items and you missed the link above head here 
 
Have an awesome weekend, doing your special crafts, or whatever makes your heart skip a beat faster...

Ella's birthday present


In my first post I'll share with you my handmade gift for Ella.
It was her birthday a few days ago, and I decided that I'll make her a Take-Along Teddies' house with two dress-up teddies!
Here it is....







Ella loves it! and I love the idea of entertaining her with something other than my iphone :)

Much love Kasia
