Are you afraid of snakes?

If you are, you probably wouldn't wear this bra! But what a fabulous bra Felicia of Fluffy Flowers has created.


Chase in the Grass by Fluffy Flowers (Click to see full size)

The snake is chasing the little mice around the green bra- will the mice get away??

Felicia makes many more fun little creatures, see her shop for more of her work.

You still have until the 6th June to upload your bra contest photos to the flickr group. I'm looking forward to seeing them all.

Back to the prizes...

Next up in the prizes we have these beautiful earrings from Sakura Fubuki Designs.





Again, my photos don't really do them justice, they're very pretty and glamorous.

Sakura makes stunning jewellery and also produces some beautiful ceramic work. She's combined both talents in this piece:

How many more reasons do you need to enter the "decorate your bra" contest today? Well, tomorrow there'll be another reason!

More beautiful bra contest prizes

This time I have two prizes to show and they're from the fabulous Kezzaroo Designs.

First up is a beautiful pink dream pillow:



The little felt pillow is filled with dried French lavender which will help you sleep when you pop it under your pillow. Or you could use it as a drawer scenter- it smells wonderful!

Secondly, we have these stunning earrings:



My slightly ropey photos don't do them justice, they're truly stunning and if I had pierced ears I'd be hiding them and not telling you lot about them! :)

Kezzaroo is queen of plushies and her trademark little people are the best, not to mention the beautiful jewellery. She's probably best known on etsy for her little Mr.T:

Lots of photos

I have lots of catch-up photos to show you today. I've had some great post lately: artwork from askey, Marmee craft, ashleyg and alicub, Marie Claire Idees magazine (some scans to come soon) and this beautiful vintage teacup trio from Rhi.



I also had an amazing find in a local charity shop, this beautiful handmade patchwork quilt top:





I'm contemplating finishing it but having never quilted before I don't really know where to start so for now it's gracing the sofa downstairs with it's presence.

Two Bird ACEOs- which will are in my shop now!




Oh and here's a sneak peak of my bra, as promised! I only have a few days left to finish it.



Hope everyone is getting on well with their bra decorating, I should be able to show you some of the prizes soon.

Buy pink!

Buy any pink item and I'll donate 50% of the price to Walk the Walk- the charity I'm walking for on Saturday night. Here are all the pink items in my Etsy shop you can choose from:

First bra contest photo is in the Flickr pool...

Thank you to Katie (from What Katie Did) for being the first entrant with her knitted pink creation. She's part of a group who are taking part in the Edinburgh MoonWalk.



Hope everyone is doing well with their designing and creating, I started mine last night, I may post a sneak preview later.

More bra love...

I've been searching the net finding more bra inspiration for you! But first here is a picture of the bra I decorated for last years MoonWalk along with my medal.



We chose a garden theme and embellished our bras with felt flowers, beads, butterflies and green fur trim!
