ahem!

I'm a little bit excited at the moment! The novelty of having my first ever article in a magazine will take a little while to wear off methinks...

 
I've been promised two copies of the Simply Handmade sewing edition that my notebook appears in, so as soon as they arrive I'll offer one up as a give away.


Excuse me while I go away and have another squeek at seeing my name in print ....!

Gulp!


 I have never, ever spent so much money on wool. Never. Ever.


But it was worth it....

Not so 'little' ladybug..

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, smart, quirky and totally unique Ladybug!


Birthday cake - a 'strawberries and cream' baked cheesecake as requested by the lady herself...

Gifted

While things may have been a tad quiet (ahem!) on the old blogging front, it doesn't mean that I've been sitting back and twiddling my thumbs - no siree!!

Apart from the usual busyness that summer holidays bring, this year they have brought along with them a number of tiny new arrivals (for friends, not me, I hasten to add..)  And of course, new babies need presents....


Burp cloths, because you can never have too many of these... 


An 'in threes' cardigan in deliciously squooshy Madelinetosh Vintage DK...



A teeny, tiny 'pebble' vest made out of a surprisingly soft skein of Noro Silk garden

To go with the vest, something I haven't made for aaaaages : a nappy cake!


It wasn't all about the babies though, oh no. A lovely little lady celebrated her first birthday too. On special request, a blanket for her doll's crib was made.



.. and because I liked the first one so much, another 'in threes' was produced.




Not too bad eh?!
