Been 'quietly' on the go!


Yes it's taken many many months in the making.



The research that went into this book ,
as always,
has been exhaustive.


Drawing and redrawing every page
till it was exactly to her liking.




Scouring the aisles of many different fabric shops...




choosing just the right fabrics for each page. 



The perfect embellishments to fully compliment.



Nothing was overlooked
in the endeavour to make each and every page
live up to the visions that had been swirling around in her head.



From race cars...



to rocket ships.



...and everything that moves, in between!








Now,
 the time has come
to show the world
this
 masterpiece
that is Jill's new
Fabric Quiet Book.



Starting life initially as a custom order,
this project very soon took on a life of it's own.

This 'first edition' is for a little boy named Bryson.

His mother was very impressed with Jill's earlier garden themed Quiet Books,

but wanted something a little more to a boys liking.

And so, 'On The Go!'
was born.

I must say,
my clever daughter never ceases to astound
me with her creativity and attention to detail.

You can view more photos of this beautiful book, and Jill's other two books, ('Garden Book' & 'The Curious Garden') here in our facebook albums. 
(just click on the small pictures to enlarge.)

These books are very limited editions.
I dare you to find anything that matches their quality
and elegance anywhere in the world.

Thanks for looking!

Music Box Dancer

Just listed on Etsy.
Another paper dress.




This one has sparkly black tulle,
and red trim.




I do love how these tiny dresses come together.
Very fiddly, as usual!
But you must know by now that I am a sucker for 'fiddly'.

Thanks for looking!

Yeah, yeah, yeah....she loves you.


Just as I am about to
delve into a project of my own ideas
...along comes another custom order.


I still have at least 4 other
different custom orders to complete,

...before I can again put the time into my 'circular' idea,
that has been going around in my head.

 Not to worry.
Busy hands...happy heart.♥

Our lovely Etsy customer can't wait
to get her hands on
this
custom made mobile for her son,
whose red/black & grey bedroom is
themed with a certain pop band.


It took me quite a while ...and I won't be making another.

Felt like purple and hot pink!



A custom order for
purple and hot pink Bunting Birds,
has kept me a bit busy.


These little guys have such
fiddly feet!


...and lots of tiny details...


...that take quite a while to finish.

But they always come together so well.



And these bright birdies
look great in their
chosen colours
of Hot Pink and Purple!

Soon to be on their way
to a place called Cologne,
in the United States.
