2nd lot of Christmas presents revealed

If you missed the first lot of Christmas presents revealed you can see the post here.

Now I'd like to show you something that I made for my mum,


I had this idea in my head for months and it came out pretty much how I'd imagined. This personalised kitchen board with pretty mulberry flowers in mulberry paper plant pots hangs from a twine hanger. It has a small felt pouch hanging at the back which holds a piece of chalk and the whole board measures approx 45cm x 30cm.


Before she saw this my mum asked me to make a present for her sister so I got to thinking. I decided to use the same idea but tweak it to match her personality. I know she likes cats and I know her kitchen is blue so the obvious answer was this


again it has a small felt pouch with chalk at the back for writing on the blackboard part.

I'm really pleased with these, they can be designed to match pretty much any personality and are a great addition to the kitchen. They will be on the website when it is up and running, along with some other designs.

I'm pleased that Handmade Monday is back up and running after the busy Christmas period, I have missed it these past weeks. Go and have a look at what everyone's got to show, I'm sure there'll be a lot to catch up on!
Until next time,
Jem

  7. What a super idea and so good to match it entirely to them. I think that the cat board has real commercial appeal :)
