I have been working on some new crowns and some Christmas decorations (photos will come soon) now that the health dramas and franticness of three different productions in one term has passed. These are the first two.
I am really fond of the bird crown (as are my girls) and love the bright pink and the mint green together. While making the other crown I was assisted by a nearly two year old leaning on my arm and consequently the sewing is not quite up to standard! Nothing major, but a few wonky lines (particularly on the cupcake) so I will be making more for sale but thought someone out there might like this one as it seems a shame to have it sitting in a box doing nothing for years. So I decided to make it an international giveaway for anyone who is interested, just leave a comment on this post about something you like or would like to see on my site and I will draw a random name on Monday 12th October. It has the usual covered elastic back and is a slightly smaller size to fit from around 18 months to 6 years, so if you know any little girls who would like a crown and don’t mind wonky lines on their cupcakes, get commenting!

What a cute crown! My niece would just love it. I love your kids books page and have bought a couple of the books you have on it for my niece and they have been a real hit.

I would love to use the crown in my preschool classrooms.
I really liked the Han Solo/Carbonite cake. I wonder if chocolate cake would work for the base, and a molded chocolate Han Solo set into partially-cooked cake. I can’t decide if I want to show my fiance or not – It’s awesome, but I’m not sure if I”m up to the challenge!

My daughter would lover a crown and I don’t think she would notice the stitching. I have tried your playdough recipe and it is great!
