The Baby Boom Continues...

Not one but TWO more babies born since my last post! My BF and a neighbour had a girl and boy respectively. In my last post I shared a photo of a felt tortoise that Iris received for her birthday. I liked it so much I decided to have a go at making one each for the newborns. I'm thrilled with how they turned out. :0) So easy and inexpensive to make.


 
My BF saw a photo of the Christening gift I made for baby Sophie and loved it, so I decided to quickly stitch one up for her new addition. I think I prefer it in the green/yellow colour way but it is pretty in the pink/grey nevertheless. Isn't her name pretty too?! Such a lovely choice.

 

Now something a little different... my first attempt at black work. And of course I simply HAD to stitch an owl! I really enjoyed stitching this. Not quite sure how I'm going to finish it yet. Any ideas gratefully received. :0)

 

My stitching time this week has been focused on the Tutti Frutti Exchange over on Mii Stitch's blog. I can reveal all on Sept 1st. :0)

Regards,
Christina

  2. You are right, these felt tortoises make wonderful gifts. And together with the ornament it's such a sweet welcome package for the newborn's parents.

    I love your blackwork owl, so sweet. I finish nearly everything as a little pillow because I love them. But I could imagine this little owl on a small pouch as well.

  10. Aww... those tortoises are so sweet and I love the newest baby pillow you stitched. I like it in both the pink and gray and the yellow and green. I've never tried blackwork, but your owl is so cute! Is it always done in black or can you use different colors?
