Little Mr’s Blanket

I proudly gave Little Mr his blanket today. Little Mr is the gorgeous son of some friends of mine- lucky parents. I have been working on his blanket since he was born so it was a very exciting moment for me, not sure he totally ‘got it’ but his parents loved it :-) It is a cute little blanket 1m x 80 cm so will fit his cot and as his dad suggested, it may be his blanket for day care when he finally gets there. He is one cute kid and the thought of my blanket accompanying him on his first days in school is oh so adorable.

Always exciting to see the final product all laid out, after it being in pieces for so long.

Nothing better than feeling the weight of a blanket finished.

All ready to go…

Yay for Spring

Today I decided to take a drive through the National Park and spend the day at Bundeena. It was such gorgeous weather and so fantastic to spend the day at the beach. God it felt good to have my feet in the sand again and sitting by the water and reading the Saturday paper. I am so grateful for Spring and it gets me even more excited for Summer and more days at the beach. Ah what a day…

I spent the afternoon playing around with some Howlite beads I bought recently. I am not normally drawn to blue but I like the brown cracking look through it, it’s an interesting contrast. I made a bracelet and used magnetic clasps, which i haven’t used before. It certainly makes it easier to put on but I am not convinced it won’t fall off! It doesn’t seem strong enough but I will wait and see. I really want to make a necklace with the same beads and do a more tribal look that would be layered and taper in to fall in the middle of the chestbone, it shall be a work in progress. Check out other people’s creative spaces.
