Here are some pictures of a blanket I made this past summer for a friends friends baby girl.

The light green squares are a beautiful chenille.
The rest of the squares are a light-weight cotton flannel.

FINALLY!!

I finally made a hat that actually fits bugaboo's head! And I mastered the cable knit at the same time! Sadly it won't fit him next year...I guess I'll just have to make more:)

Babies babies babies:)

Dear friends of our have been trying to have children for a few years now. This past week we celebrated the coming birth of their first "boy". They are due the begining fo February. This week was her last week of work so we had her baby shower now. The dr's say it's a boy, well with these gifts we are sure hoping the doctor isn't wrong!



This is a new technique I learned called chenilling. The duck is outlined and the star is chenilled and the yellow lines on the sides are chenilled. It is four fabrics sewed together than cut into strips then sewn in whatever design you want. It is a lovely way to accent a simple blanket.

The backing was a simple blue feet pattern.
As a side toy I made a fabric square. I had alot of fabric strips left over and raggedy squares from previous projects. So I sewed the strips of fabric together and folded them over. I sewed them onto the edges of raggedy squares.Then quilted in a simple square pattern.

I have some more coming, but they are gifts... so I have to wait until I give them away before I can post the pictures of them!
Sorry for the delay :)
But I do have a few birthdays coming so I will have a few more cakes to put up here! I am looking forward to trying my hand at an ice cream cake, and sparklers!
I am also looking for ideas for baby quilts.... if you have any or seen a nice one somewhere, please share!

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY BRONWYN

For the faithful few who still check in!

It has been a while since I have crafted, but here are the latest and greatest creations!

Every Christmas we make chocolates and gingerbread!

This year we made two small houses and a tree. The houses are for co workers and our babysitter.

The tree is ours!

Wow has it really been a month! Time flies when the weather is nice!

Here is another one done for one of my niece's! We liked the bold colors of it.
