Little Denim & Rocket Apron


A pretty little tin bought on holiday last week in Lyme Regis.  Inside it are ten 'clothes plasters' or iron-on applications.  This is the boy's one; it has a rocket, tractor, dinosaur, robot, shark, plane and other fun boy designs.  Perfect to finish off my little man projects.

So this week I made an apron for O.  At two and four months he loves stirring cookie dough and very much needs a 'boy apron'.  I made him one out of my old, much worn pair of pale blue jeans. Just one of the legs was enough fabric to make it.  I let O choose which 'plaster' he wanted on it.  He was adamant it had to be the red rocket.  Good choice.

I'm always a bit weary of how well these iron-ons will stick to the fabric, but these are great!  Anyway, the little apron is all finished.  It now hangs over one of the chairs in the kitchen, very much rejected by a toddler who's refusing to wear it, hmm.

Check out the other little tins with iron-ons designed by Jennie.

Claire's quilted blanket

Claire's birthday came and went back in July .  I did warn her that my light bulb moment had come a bit late (after her birthday) and that it would take a little while to sort out.  She had seen O's 'all boy' quilt and Martha's play mat and liked them both.  So why it took my brain so long to put one and two together I don't know!  Eventually realising she'd love something that combined Cath Kidston fabrics with a cottagey feel I started looking for the right things.  So I had to confess it might be a while before she got her birthday present. It was such fun looking for fabrics, putting it all together and thinking of steering away from 'just' squares and coming up with something I hadn't tried before.  I love some of the designs on this blog and often have a little admiring look around.  One day I want to be able to make such gorgeous designs! Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with squares, but I fancied making something a b

Summer quilting project - halfway

Image
Halfway through the summer, already! Slow down! Also, halfway through the 'table runner' project.  That should say table runner s though as there were just enough half square triangles to make two.  They'll go across the table rather than lengthwise.  I can't wait to have them finished and dress the table :) That leaves choosing a backing fabric, buying some wadding and pondering about binding colours.  It means a little pause this week whilst that gets sorted.

Sunday morning bliss

Me and the boy are home alone this weekend.  We've been doing our own thing, going with the flow and letting the weather shape our days.  Yesterday was gloriously sunny but windy.  The washing dried on the line, I only had to rescue it once from a fierce downpour.  I love the sun, it gives me energy. The house got a mini spring-clean and O's toys and books have been sorted.  We went grocery shopping and I had some friends coming round for a catch-up and take-away in the evening.  It is only 11am and although it has been a lazy morning lots has already been done. There has even been some time for me to pick up the knitting project again.  The back is finished, I'm now working on the first half of the front - still loving this yarn and its colours!  It's a rainy day today, so there might be time to do some more later.  Me and O have refilled the log basket, he's such a good boy and likes helping with little chores.  The wood burner is lit, glowi
