One of my friends became a grandmother last week. Welcome baby Grace. I really wanted to make Grace a quilt but as I have never met her mother or father I thought it might be a bit odd so instead I made something for Graces parents to use.
One of the things we ended up buying (while J was still in disposable nappies) was a nappy wallet. A small folder that had room for a set of wipes and a few nappies. It got a lot of use for the first 8 months and then got sidelined by the cloth nappies it has however resurfaced for all our travelling this year and once again has proved a lifesaver on many occasions.
So I decided to make one for Graces parents. I found just the right material in my stash and got up the courage to cut into it - my only piece of Farmers Market by Sandi Henderson - and here it is:
I have to say I really really like it and I hope it gets some use.
I have also been busy making gifts for Jots carers at childcare. Last year I didn't know any of them very well so they just got a box of cherries to chare but this year Jot has been in the same room for nine months so I know them all a bit better.
I decided to make some little zip pouches for the three assistants and a bag for the room leader but really couldn't find a material I likes (I was being very particular) then while look through my stash in a panic as I realised that the room leader would not be around next week I stumbled across a couple of Ikea tea towels which are lovely and turned them into these:
I also really wanted to get Jot involved so decided to bake some Snowballs for them as well. They are meant to look like this:
Any ours looked like this:
They are yummy though so I just dusted them with icing sugar and called the Hazelnut Crisps instead.
They went down a treat on Friday so I can now relax and get on with some holiday clothes sewing for both Jot and myself.
Have a good week
Jots Mum
