Well...yet again there has been a while between posts! I have been very busily sewing my heart out...nothing like biting off more than you can chew!
So, here's the run down of what I have been up to:
Dilbert Dinosaur
In the last couple of months I have made two of these dinosaurs from a Melly & Me pattern. One was a present for my cousins sons christening. I had the pattern for over a year and finally got around to making not one but two!
Wipes case and Nappy Holder
I have been nesting a little lately (something to do with being in my 3rd Trimester I believe), and a number of friends and family have had babies, so I decided to try and make some gifts. I think that they turned out pretty good, don't you?
Binkie Blankets
Friends of my husband had twin boys, so I wanted to make them something special...blankies! I found this cute pattern on the internet. Don't you just love it?
Letterboxes
I wanted to make something special for my son and the baby for Christmas. I saw this great idea on the Twelve Crafts til Christmas blog and knew straight away I had to make them! I am going to give a post card or fabric letter to each relative (Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles etc) so that they can write a letter to each child which can then also be played with. It will be a keepsake that the children can treasure forever!
Hobby Horse
Z has become very fond of using anything as a horse...seahorse toys, books etc, so I thought it fitting to make him a hobby horse from a Melly & Me pattern. He doesn't play with it...still a little to big for him and I don't think he quite understands the concept. Although, I am in the process of making a second one in a different colour scheme as a gift for a birthday party coming up.
Santa Sack
I have always wanted to get into craft designing...just never had the confidence so I have started....with a santa sack for bubs!
This is the first panel that I have finished, however the photo does not give it justice. I feel that it looks very special! Hopefully I will complete the rest of it in time for the babies first Christmas!
Cot Quilt
I saw a quilt over at the Crazy Mom Quilts blog and just fell in love it. So I have decided to make one for bubs...I feel like I am neglecting him/her. As a second child, there really is not nearly as much to have to do to get ready! Below is the basic layout.
Well, hope that you enjoyed my Craft Catch-Up! Hope your days have been productive too!
