Miss Aine

Long time no posting! I have been so busy. Emily is staying awake more during the day so it means I have less time to do stuff. I made another mat to send to Irene for baby Kate. Actually made this one to a decent size so sent it off in the post last week. It's called 'Cute As A Button'. I think it works quite well and it will definitely be one that I make again. Went to Wexfored with Emily last week on Monday with my mother and came back on the train on Wednesday. All went well. My goddaughter came to visit - little Rhianna. Below is a picture of her with our cat at home, Mush. She absolutely loves him but he doesn't feel quite the same about her! And here's a picture of my sister, Katie, with Emily in the kitchen. As usual I forgot to take many photos so I only have a few from the kitchen. And finally, the christening day. It went really well. There were loads of people and Emily was good as gold. She was passed from person to person all afternoon and never gave...

So the mat is finished. However it is too small to be a mat so I may buy a dowel to stick to the back and make it into a wall hangning. Also, I really like it so I might keep it for Emily's room. Therefore, I have started another mat to send to Irene. It's got felt buttons appliqued onto calico squares and big blocks of colour between. It's quite nice to far. I have cut out all the pieces and figured out how I am going to arrange them so I just need to sew them altogether now. Shouldn't take too long.
