Playing tag...

I have two cousins expecting babies in the next month, so I thought it was about time that I got myself a little organised; half-term has not been conducive to much sewing.

Making them both quilts just seemed too emotionally hard this time around, with everything that should have been happening in the coming months, but I still wanted to make a little something each.

So I went back to baby-basics and whipped up a couple of taggie squares...

These are 12" square, with cream dimple minky and some of the fun Japanese fabric I purchased from Dana's destash a week or so ago.  Each ribbon is quadruple stitched for security, and I think will be appreciated by the mummys and daddys and eventually the babies-to-be.

Baby, Baby, Baby oh!

I am pleased to tell you that the twins were delivered yesterday lunchtime, weighing in at a whopping 6lb 6oz and 6lb 8oz!  Everyone is doing well.  No names yet, and my mum will drop off the quilts at their Grandma's later in the week.

In other news, whilst my parents had the joy of looking after our brood on Saturday whilst hubby and I escaped to Chichester to spend a birthday voucher from my sister at Eternal Maker...

... followed by Prometheus (brilliant) and Pizza Express, I received another birthday parcel c/o a very late-in-the-day postie.

The giftcard read " Feel free to make us anything you like the look of in this book - you have until 4 January!"

I guessed before I had unwrapped it...

My sister is pregnant!!

So you can be sure I will have lots of little makes to show you in the coming months.

Soooooooo excited xxx
