That will be Mrs. Rachel Daykin ... and not me. Rachel gave me the honor of asking me to arrange a little baby shower for her - she requested a picnic in the park. For her little gift a made a crochet blanket is super soft cashmere blend yarn .... with little flower detail in one corner ....
..... and then I got over excited and made a gift bag from white satin and a big blue bow .... yummy. I hope she likes it! I hope Baby Daykin likes it!
I was worried that Betty (although she looks quite well fed) looked a tad ..... dare I say it .... Bunny naked .... so I made her a little cotton summer dress.
Betty didn't stay in New York very long until she was shipped to Chula Vista, California in her little gift bag.
I actually finished my first knitted toy some time ago - but it has taken me an age to find the right thread to make his little face with - the poor bunny had several attempts - in the end I think this black cotton thread works well. Blue Bunny is dressed in a recycled jumper - I made his jumper from a sleeve of an old jumper that had shrunk in the wash. I am really pleased with him. I am 100% positive that I will make many more knitted toys - I just think he is darling. (But maybe that is because I just LOVE bunny rabbits .....)
So I am now unemployed and worried about actually producing lovely things that people will love ....... off to work .... I made Bulky Bunny very quickly last night.
My dear friend Megan asked me to make Jenny & Scott's Chuppah for their wedding on June 29th. I have been so excited to be involved. Invited guests were sent a 7"x7" square and asked to decorate it in some way. These squares were then sewn together. Jenny also provided some Japanese fabrics that she wanted incorporated into the Chuppah. Your wedding day is such an enormous life event - and because of this production has been a nerve wracking experience - and I just hope that Jenny & Scott enjoy the finished product. I'll post some more photos soon .......
