It's time to catch up on all the news !
Today, I decided its really time I added some news to my blog !
A most beautiful little baby girl was born on 19th April 2013.

Alissa and Timothy are blessed with this little baby girl.   I was trying to think of something special to make for her.   As they live overseas and its always difficult to get presents there as they have to be posted, it is not always easy.   I thought of a quilt, but that seems a little big and bulky.  So I came up with this idea :

Some of the lace is from "ouma grootjie" which means "greatgrandmother" and even from Felicity's aunt Kim - the little fussy man was made when she was still at school.   It was the first time that I tried embroidering a name - so here I had to have a few practice runs first.   It's not perfect ... but it was made with a lot of love.
Here is one of my favourite photos of the little Miss Fliss (as I call her) :

Isn't she just too beautiful ?!

Then when Alex, my daughter Kim's eldest daughter was turning 7 on 21st January, I thought well she has a new bedroom and I know it was going to be painted green, I decided to try another one ....

And so it evolved ....

Then I needed to make a birthday card for her and decided to try and use some of the offcuts from the heart.

Wishing you a very happy birthday my darling Alex !
