AAAAAAAA I've got so many blankets and onsies on the go!!!

Hello All,

Thought I'd bring you up to date with happenings in my life. I've sold a bunch of blankets and reports say that babies are happy all over the place and parents are happy to have something hip around their precious little ones.

I have been asked to make a throw for an adult!! go figure, they get chilly too!

Another thing that I'm really excited about is the little onesies and t's I've been adorning with my own creative whim. I've sold 5 already!!

We're buckling and buying a new digital camera this weekend so I can publish photos of everything and hope that I get some great feedback.

Funny upcycling!

new orders

A friend has offered her stash of fabric from days gone by when she intended to sew when she had spare time. With her own business and horses to take care of, she has little time to spare.

I will post the fabrics as soon as I receive them.

Did anyone find sentimental stuff that they would like to turn into a blanket for a loved little one (or a big person too, I suppose)?

quilting - well sort of...

I'm going to take a stab at quilting. Well, my version of quilting.

I've got this fabric from a bag of flour that we bought at the Eco Stewardship Fair in April. Kind of sounds like something a modern Laura Ingalls would say!

I digress... I've got this bag, the logo is quite appealing and I think I may try my hand at appliqué-ing it onto the middle of a fairly plain background. I'll post a photo once it's finished and when we buy a new camera (to replace the one Ashwyn dropped last week).

I hope this gets you thinking about new uses for everyday things.

Upcycling!

Do you have fabric that you love but don't know what to do with it?

Maybe you have a table cloth that is sentimental?

A duvet cover that you love but doesn't really suit your bedroom decor anymore?

I can help you turn those lovely things into even more lovely things for a little one. Even if it's a small swatch, we can perhaps use it in the centre of a blanket and build on it to make it really special. (I sigh just thinking about some of the things that people don't use but really love)

Here are some samples from pillowcases (bought at a thrift shop) which may help you to think of things in a different way.

contact me and we'll make a plan for that stuff that I know you have...
