Owl wall hanging

Katie really likes owls at the moment, I made an owl cushion which she has in her bed - you'll see it on the quilt post. I made this to go on her wall too but have yet to actually hang it. I like that it's a simple word too, I may make some others to go with it if I get inspired.... watch this space!

Jumper for Oliver.

I have to say this is my favourite knitted item to date, I am so pleased with it!! I wanted something with texture like an aran, but I am allergic to wool so converted an aran pattern to knit with DK yarn. I am over the moon, I love the detail, it's called a blackberry stitch and it does look like blackberries! Perhaps I should make one my size!

Lexie's third birthday - bolero with flower detail

I had to sew the flowers onto the cardigan so that they didn't curl when the item was washed which left them a bit flatter than I'd hoped. Still, I'm pleased with it and love the colour.

Gifts for the twins

I had it in my head to make tiny jumpers for Sid and Dotty... They are tiny and quite cute, much like the twins themselves!

Katie's quilt

This was about three years in the making. My husband had to have words with me to finish it rather than waste all that time making it when I threatened to give up on it. He has promised to remind me of this should I ever consider making a quilt again!

Still, I am really pleased how it turned out. It is mostly sewn by hand and then partially quilted by machine. Really time consuming but I'm really pleased how it turned out.

Over the shoulder nappy holder!

I wanted a bag that I could just sling things in, all my big bags have got flaps over which get in the way. It's hard to open them with baby on one hip and whatever else is going on so I decided to make my own from a pattern I found online. I am over the moon with it, and it's machine washable which is handy since the kids' beakers must leak in my bag daily. *Sigh*

Something for Martin

My lovely husband is so patient with me, forsaking cuddles on the sofa in the evening to listen to the sewing machine or the tapping of knitting needles and the occasional expletive, so I thought that I would make him a little something to keep him snug as it's getting a little chillier. Actually, I was working on this for about a year and finished it in the summer! Still, I'm sure he'll appreciate it one day.

Actually, I made the bench cushion too.

Jumper for Joseph

You may recognise this as a jumper I've made before! I do like it though.
