On a Personal Note

There is nothing like a new baby due to arrive to get the creative juices flowing.  My daughter is due to have her first child early in February, so I have been doing just a little bit of "creating".  Thought I would share them with you.

While I was away, I stumbled across this gorgeous stitchery pattern and just couldn't resist it.  Not only did it keep me occupied when I couldn't get to the machine, but it has also finished as a simply gorgeous wall hanging.  I will be delivering it at Christmas time.

There was also a bit of knitting and crochet happening as well.  Being a summer baby, these are sized for a six to twelve month old.

Then, because it is a summer baby, I just couldn't resist doing these gorgeous thongs.  Again, I don't think the photo does them justice - they are just too cute.

I figure there might be some more of these being done - in a variety of colours.

Now if only I knew whether she was having a boy or a girl, I might be able to think creatively about a quilt, but we don't know, so I will just have to wait a little longer for that creative spark to materialise!!!!

Well, that's it for now.  Hope you are all coping with the hot weather and the holiday preparations.

Best intentions were misplaced yet again, so the new year will hold lots of last year quilts.

​Have a wonderful Christmas and may the new year provide lots of time for sewing.
