God its been a long time.....

....sorry about that. Izzy doesn't nap much and what with driving to playgroup, domestic chores, playdates and just general feeding, cleaning up, playing, sleeping etc I don't seem to have 5 spare minutes. When I do I have sat down for a cup of tea!

I have managed a bit of crafting - at long last! I made Izzy a Christmas stocking from a pretty tea towel I saved. Alex got a sock monkey (from the Guardian Xmas supplement) - meet George.

Izzy also got a cot quilt/playmat for Christmas after 7 months of trying to get it all together. It was made from thrifted fabric bought for less than £1 at various charity shops. I have been getting Sew Hip magazine since its launch and I'm very inspired to make so much more this year.
Next up a doll for her birthday from Hillary Lang's Wee Wonderfuls pattern - a Kit, Chloe or Louise (I haven't yet decided which!)
