Last day in the studio before maternity leave So, I look pretty happy in this photo, but I tell you what - one week later, now that my due date has come and gone, I'm starting to feel pretty over it! It's one thing to be pregnant and busy busy finishing off everything that needs to be done before bubs arrives, and another thing entirely to be finally ready, waiting and realising that I have absolutely no control whatsoever on when this baby will come out! And being someone who strives for predictability in all areas of her life... ha! Yes yes I know that this is *just* the beginning and I can expect pretty much zero predictability for the rest of my life... better start getting used to it. Anyway here's some things that have been happening over the last little while... Hanging mobile in progress - timber birds fresh from the lasercutters Hanging mobile in progress - painting the birds and sticking on their wings The beginnings of a new print inspired by Bracken fronds I collected on a walk The Bracken print come to life! I had a great time designing this and love that it works as an inverse print - with the background printed in the ink colour instead of the leaves. Bracken printed in Turmeric - one of my favourite colours :) More cuteness by talented friends - this blanket and elephant hand knitted by Dave's super talented workmate Ophelie So, hopefully next time I post it'll be a picture of a cute little person who's finally decided to greet the world. Wish me luck! xx

Making Life's Occasions Fun. It's About Time.

I have wanted to attempt the quilt for quite some time now, but had absolutely no idea where to begin with one. Really, no idea. I was scared. So I put it off. Over and over again. But with a new little one coming I was feeling inspired to give it a go...somehow. I've come to learn that the Internet can 'teach' you to do pretty much anything. So I logged on and I searched and searched until I finally came across this, a beginning quilting series from Diary of a Quilter...she made me believe. She's got ALL the steps spelled out for you in black and white, from what supplies to start with all the way to binding your quilt...and she's so easy to follow! I was actually excited to get going! So I went through my scraps...I didn't want to go out and purchase a bunch of fabric, just in case things went amiss. I knew I wanted to use different textures and patterns since I would be using this as a little tummy time mat for baby. So I got creative and pulled out some knit, minky, and even a ruffled pillow sham that I had left over from the nursery pillows. I cut the back off the sham... Then cut my squares with my rotary cutter...I used 5 inch squares. Then it was time to lay out my squares in the pattern I thought worked. Then following the instructions from Diary of a Quilter I started piecing my quilt and made rows with my squares... And ironed my seams...the iron will become your very best friend during this project! Next I sewed my rows together. And it started to look like something that resembled an actual quilt. I added my borders and batting and backing and really started to get excited because there were now layers to my quilt. But the excitement came to a screeching halt when I learned that I had to baste my quilt. Huh!? I had never heard of such a thing! Who knew this step existed? And that there was spray and special basting pins involved. Well, I was on a roll and wasn't about to throw in the towel at this point, so even with being ill prepared and without proper equipment...I rolled on, with regular old safety pins. And I'll tell you, they worked just fine. Okay, so this is where I started to get a little nervous. It was time to actually quilt...that is to say, SeW. Preferably in straight lines. And because I was a little lazy (and really anxious to finish) I totally skipped a step and didn't draw lines to mark where to sew...such a rebel. I just eyeballed my way through, and do you know, some of the lines actually lined up! So at this point I am jumping up and down that I might actually see this thing through. All there was left to do was finish with a little binding. So I cut my strips and pinned... And I FINISHED that quilt! So there it is...PrOof. Because if I can do it, YOU certainly can too!
