Rainbow Crochet Blanket

It's DONE!

It's been a year in the making - not unlike this baby of ours! And as I enjoy the last two weeks of pregnancy I am glad I got this finished just in time for the new little one!

Here is the final process and blanket!

I blocked the quilt once it was all stitched up:


Then added a simple red border (inspired by this blanket):


Then blocked it again with the finished border:



The final blanket - in all its glory:





The edges are still a little curved but I kinda love it to bits anyway!

This weekend I escaped to the Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney. This year they had a new bigger venue with a much larger range of sellers which was great.

I picked up loads of pretty cards...and a few goodies!



Something for the girls from Made590


Some treats for the grown ups!

Earrings: A Skulk of Foxes
Necklace: Jubly-Umph
Patch: Desire Books

There were lots of other great stalls...and loads of inspiration!

Practical Sewing

I've been knocking off some practical sewing this week...trying to get all my ducks in a row!

As we will have three little ones in the back Amelie has been upgraded to a booster seat. It needed a cover so I made her this cushion from the bright Prints Charming fabric!



I also made this little caddy for the car so they have somewhere to put their toys on long journeys!


Let the fun and games begin!

Care Bear Hoodies

I've had this project waiting on the side for a while...I thought I had better get stuck into it as the weather is cooling down!

I was inspired by this amazing hoodie...check out the tutorial HERE!

I used the same pattern the Yorik by Farbenfix de as I loved the way the hood sat - and it was a very easy pattern - even with the german instructions!

The girls picked which bear they wanted ages ago (Cheer Bear for Amelie and Funshine for Clementine) and I had the fabric all ready to go...then at the last minute...luckily JUST before I cut the pattern out they switched...Amelie's new favourite colour is Yellow and Clementine has switched to Pink!

First up I made the patches for the tummies which was fun doing some hand embroidery with felt on fleece:



For the rest I pretty much stuck to the instructions - with the addition of the cute bear ears!

I love how they turned out...the sewing is not 100%...I am so used to working with cotton that knits always stretch a little with me!

But on the plus side the girls love them and it's something bright and fun for the cold days ahead!



Getting their care bear stares on!







After the photo sessions the girls decided to put on a little Care Bear play...it's great to share something from my childhood with the girls!

Work in Progress - Sneak Peek

A little peek at a project I am working on today for the girls...
