When K was born I made her a few special gifts. Some were hand sewn, some knitted and some were painted. I am determined to do the same thing for L. I really don’t want her to grow up thinking that I didn’t have time to make her special things. On the top of the list is a hand stitched felt book. In order to see what I mean you have to pay a visit to my old blog. Here are the links:

The second book I did was for my little nephew Malachi and his had an Aussie theme. I had a great time designing these as I went. Now my plan is to come up with one for L and one for Malachi’s little brother (my second nephew) Ty. This will be a work in progress for a little while and I will attempt to do the two at the same time! I did make a start today at last by pulling out my large pieces of felt and seeing what I’ve got. Turns out I’ve got a lot! So here’s the first shot in a long WIP!
I just love bright colours, especially when it comes to kids things so I couldn’t help but take some extra pics of the felt all lined up.
I have no actual plan as to the theme for these two books, usually I just work it out as I go so it will be interesting to see what they turn out like this time.
Those books are so sweet! If my kiddos were still little I’d buy a few. What lucky children you have.
