HapPinEss for Mommy and Baby!

Pixy Owl 1 has a complaint. 
Her mischievous little baby never sleeps on his pillow!

We were discussing why this could be. She had arranged his cot with the softest pillows that had the prettiest embroidery! Anyone would have loved to sleep on those pillows. 
But the little one always pushed his pillow away... 

So we decided to investigate the matter.
It looks to us that machine embroidery might just be the cause of the problem!
As pretty as they are, there seems to be a roughness in the machine embroidered fabric that the little one simply does not like!

We immediately consulted Grandma, she knows all about baby linen: 
And of course she had the perfect solution! 
She recommended HAND EMBROIDERY! 
She said; "That way Mommy and Baby both are happy"

And truthfully don't you think Hand Embroidery looks so much prettier too?

                                   Perfection. Achieved
                  All you need is a little extra patience and a double dose of affection!

Baby Love

How delightful it was to wake up and find this hamper at our doorstep left by our sewing lady on the way to drop her kids off at school. 

Maala has been holding on to these rather unusual prints for a while now; turns out her ancient machine broke and she had to get it repaired. 

So our spring & winter prints were waiting patiently for nearly a week at Maala's spic and span shelter she shares with her 3 young children.

all we need is a pillow owlet.

We felt a little crafty on Tuesday so out popped our scrap material box with all the little leftover bits and pieces from the fabric hamper baskets we made last week.

This is what we could re use:

tiny pieces of pretty floral cheese cloth

a sober looking grey & white linen

dark looking grey lace we no longer needed

and some left over felt bits.

For a long while , we really didn't do much except sit in rather uncomfortable chairs around the kitchen table drinking tea and catching up. Then it dawned on us : what we needed at that moment were some owlet-pillows to support our sore backs!

So we took out our needle box and stitched our first owlet-pillow. It was a bit chilly outside on that day so we swaddled our little owlet and kept her safe until she finds a good home...or chair.

it is quite a thing to make anything 

out of scraps unneeded

to watch it become something

we all then heeded

Pixy Owl : Exposed.

 We come in two.

      PixyOwl-1 lives in a tree overlooking a park with the tiniest stream running through it. She is a working mom who always has a home-project going—whether it's painting butterflies for the owl nursery or working on business proposals; nocturnal by nature, she is always up and about, twiddling with this idea and that. Forever.

     

     PixyOwl-2 lives in a tree overlooking a sea but her side way glance is always fixed on the concrete building surroundings. She is single, career-minded, free-spirited and starves for perfection in anything she makes. Her passions are soft laces, leathery surfaces and everything in between. She is often seen up and about, planning events for friends where no small detail escaped. 

 Together. We. Create.

Hand crafts ~ some fabric ~ others not.

Event Plans : for classy nuptials and all other events one can think of. 

  

~*~

We love shopping for weirdly wonderful things in the heat.

 We are happiest when we find something thrifty where we least expect to look. 

 What-we-are & what-we-are- not.

Our products are made by stay-at-home Moms who pedal their ancient sewing machines for hours - happily. 

Our products are not industrial machine-standard. It's what your Grandma would hand-make and gift you because she loves you. 

Love : Expect to find love in abundance in everything we give you.

Charity : Buy us if you like what you see, not because you feel obliged.
