the van, so far....

I really must come up with a better name for 'the van' instead of calling her 'the van' all the time, maybe once we have finished making her perfect and have actually had a little holiday in her it will come to us. I've decided on Amy Butler's Lotus collection for jazzing her up a bit, luckily the original owners had the sense to use a nice blue fabric instead of the usual brown, yellow and green interiors you usually see in vans circa 1980. Lotus is great, it adds a retro feel without being too girly for the boys in the family. This is what I have done so far :) What do you think?

caravan love ♡

how fantastic are these gorgeous retro vans! oneday when we finally get our dream acreage i would love to do up an old van for my sewing room, how cool! I've become a little obsessed with caravans lately, probably because we have bought an old one to do up for our holidays, it's not as cute as this, but it will look great when I am finished with it :)

love

It's been a great week here in Little Star world, lots of great orders have come in, I love it when my customers get creative! I had to make this great engagement cushion, I wonder how they will like it? I know they certainly won't be receiving another one of these, what an orignal gift!

I've also got a great project on the go, we recently bought ourselves an old poptop caravan that we are doing up, the husband is fixing up the structural stuff and of course I am making it pretty :) Stay tuned to see how it all turns out!
