Hello! Sorry for my long absence, but I'm afraid the dreaded winter flu has been doing the rounds in our house and I have been lucky enough to cop it three times! But I'm back and what better way to kick off my return than by sharing with you my latest creative project.
A good friend of mine is expecting her first baby in July and other than passing onto her mountains of had-me-downs I also wanted to give her something handmade. I always cherished the handmade gifts I received for my daughters the most. I appreciate the thought, love and hard work put into the creation of an item made especially for you and your little one. So I designed a little play rug/quilt and excitedly set out to the craft store to pick out my fabrics. It is here that I'd like to point out how unbelievably difficult it is to make things unisex, without being boring and beige! So I went a little brighter and even dared to include a little pink, but at the end of the day if I had a boy, I would use it, so I'm happy with the result.
So there you have it I may even make a few for my Etsy store too!
