Welcome to our family Milla Rose, born 28th February 2011. What a beautiful bonny baby. The first girl born within my circle of friends for a long while. Wow won't I have fun sewing for her. Here she is - my darling precious first grandchild:

My recently completed other option - the blue one! And naturally as I'm into the crochet and knitting now the sewing has been pushed aside for the moment.

Okay, so I am in grandparent production mode. I'm convinced this first grandchild will be a girl so have made rug number 1 - the pinkie. Am now working on number 2 - the bluey now.

What a year - weddings, travel, lots of changes going on and hence not a lot of time or space for creativity.

Well I'm back into my crochet and sewing with a vengeance.

My first grandchild is due to come into the world about 21st January 2011. As the expectant parents have opted for a surprise rather than finding out the sex of the baby, I'm hedging my bets and creating both pinkie and a bluey blankets. Currently I'm crocheting the girl version in merino 4ply in winter white and various vintage pinks. I think it looks divine.

And, I've been sewing again. I found this handpainted, tie dyed fabric in an op shop (about a metre) and then had the pleasure of figuring and designing a dress to best use the fabulous animals.
Next I plucked this sweet print out of my stockpile of fabrics, matched up some pink for the trim and this is what eventuated.
Pictures of completed blanket to come soon.
