I would like to share some wonderfully exciting news and whilst I may have been a bit quiet I have been making some lovely 'little' things, like this one
and this
just waiting some fun buttons
Have you guessed yet? No, well
Daniel and Shine have announced that we shall be expecting our first Grandie in August.
How brilliant is that! Sooo exciting, can't wait, it seems an age away but I'm sure the time will just fly by
So many ideas floating around in my head, floor quilt perhaps, burp cloths, toys
Oh where to begin?
A little while ago I mentioned I was playing around with some images to stitch, this is what I came up with, stitching combined with fabric crayons just to lift it a bit
A bit of fun, perhaps turn it into something for the nursery, any ideas? or for anything else come to that
Better go as I have some elephants to make...
Have a great day, take care
xx

ReplyDeleteoh congratulations! I've seen another blogger do embroidery coloured with crayons, can't think who but it was a beautiful technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy. I like the way the colours can be subtle or bold and I find colouring in quite relaxing, back to childhood I suppose lol certainly lifts the project.
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting news, Chrissie. So lovely that this year is so much more promising than the last ones. You will so enjoy stitching and making for your little Grandie. It is a wonderful time for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilyn, we said things can only get better didn't we! Such anticipation and as you say lots of stitching too :-)

Thank you so much Fiona. i can see from your blog how much you enjoy grandparenting and making loads of things for your grandies, don't think my quilts will be anything as good as yours but I shall enjoy making little things, adding bits n bobs to the buby box.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news. I can imagine how many things you will be making I look forward to seeing your makes. congrats
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great! Mind is willing but the body is lagging behind at the moment, but slowly slowly little things will be done.
