Darvanalee Designs Studio : My Girls Quilting & Crafting Journey

As you would have read in my profile

I am the proud mother of 3 little ladies

although at times not so much little ladies

I have so many nice memories of the girls and their

Quilting and crafting journey that

I wanted to journal it for them...

So i thought I might as well do it here

as I am not much of a writer LOL...

So let me introduce you to my lovely

Girls :)

Miss Dj she is my eldest 14ys old 2013

and she is a crazed crafter

speed is her thing lol...

she loves to give anything a go

from Quilting to crochet

and useful things are what she

likes best...but if she had to choose one

thing she would say bags :)

they challenge her

and even though she gets

frustrated she still gives it her best

she just loves them

but lately he has been smitten

by the humble softies kits

you get from the Dollar Shops

or as we call here in Australia

the "The Cheapo Shop"

any way as I said she is a speed crafter

and fast it must be...

Then there is Miss S 9ys old 2013

well what can I say about Miss S

she is passionate about patchwork

and quilting...she is the next Gernation

quilter in our family :)

Miss S....December 2013

she just loves creating...although a messy

quilter she is getting better

she has been doing patchwork

since she was 5yrs old

below is her very first quilt she done at

class back in 2010

Miss S....Finished her very first Quilt 2010

Oh how time flies it only seems like yesterday she

decided that she wanted to take a sewing

class at our local craft store

in these pics here she is getting her

very first lesson on the machine

in 2010

she looks so tiny and that smile

is just too cute :)

Miss S will give anything a go

but she is not one to be pushed

into something she does not want to

do....she will patchwork when the

mood strikes her and that can mean

anything from one quilt over a week

or like in the past 2 quilts in

3 days :)

I hope you will like her Journey :)

as much as I do

here in this picture you can see

Miss S sewing up her Libary bag

for the start of school in the New

Year of 2011 as we were flooded in and had nothing else to do LOL

and finally we have as we like to call her

The Divine Miss N ....

The Divine Miss N

as you will see from her pictures and her journey

she is a cheeky little monkey

and she is sooo unlike the other 2
she is all ways tidy when it comes to crafting
she started using the sewing machine when she
was 3...but had not really made anything
she would just get my scraps and sew them
together and try and make doll
blankets :) other than that
up until this year she has mostly been learning
how to hand embroider
it has been a interesting process of trying to teach her...she gets soo frustrated
if it is not right or out of place in anyway lol

The Divine Miss doing her first hand Embroidery January 2012

it took her a while but she got there in the end
and she has

The Divine Miss N's finished hand embroidery her very 1st one
not bad for a beginner :)

The Divine Miss N dose not limit herself
to just sewing she likes to get kits
and make practical things

here she is making a Felt jewelry box

this was a kit that she
got for her birthday
she just loved it
a bit of gluing and
placing things just so
and there you have it a
use little Jewelry box ")
August 2013 :)
then it was onto some beading
as we had to have something to
put into the Jeweler y box :)
