Works in progress


I realise that if I wait for each project to be complete before posting it, it would be awhile. So, here is some to be completed show & tell:


Soon, these (minus the Georges) will be a quilted floormat for little L to master crawling on.


this will one day be a thick cardigan for a lovely person to wrap herself in,


and this will turn into a sweater for little L.

Mobile nest




After the unfortunate loss of a gorgeous gifted stroller sleeping cosy*, which the french elegantly call a nid d'ange (angel's nest), a replacement was necessary. Although the result of my efforts doesn't begin to compare with the original (and is sadly lacking sleeves, which made the original clearly superior in its conception), I am pleased to have finally found a use for this Kokka fabric that I loved so much I was afraid to waste it on an unworthy project. All is now well : little L can stay warm whilst taking in the sights.

* The american term, footmuff, is sadly lacking in poetry. I therefore refuse to use it.
