💖 The customer I made this #keepsakequilt for sent me a lovely review / thankyou message today. Have a look it's in my stories today 💖
.
This quilt is the 2nd keepsake I have made for @daniellelouisebound .
The first I made was the unicorn (you can see if you swipe right 👉)
.
The unicorn was a re-make. Made from clothes that had been made into a terribly poor keepsake by another maker.
.
All I can say is - please, please do your research before choosing your keepsake maker. .
If you would like to order from me I will take as much time as you need to talk through what you would like. .
I will treat your clothes very gently and send you pics during the making so you know what is happening. And of course if I am posting your completed keepsake to you it will be carefully wrapped & boxed and sent 'signed for'

This lovely quilt is backed with a duck egg blue brushed cotton fabric. So it is extra soft and stroke able 💕
.
It was made for @daniellelouisebound when she won a cushion keepsake giveaway before Christmas. She decided to pay the extra to have a quilt made to include both of her daughter's clothes.
.
I previously made her a unicorn so she knew my work and trusted me. I'll tell you more about the unicorn tomorrow 💕

Hi 👋 to everyone I met yesterday in Pontaddulai

Hi 👋 to everyone I met yesterday in Pontaddulais at the @rubbabubbawithsara baby event. .
I met so many babies too, some ever so small and some really big. My daughter was only 5lb 6oz born but is now quite tall for her age! .
Just for fun - tell me your baby's birth weight, and if they're now a bit older did they remain smaller, medium or larger?

What a day, from braving storm Dennis ☔ to meeti

What a day, from braving storm Dennis ☔ to meeting some lovely people who are going to give Calliedoggy some walks 🐕, to the sad sad news about Caroline Flack 💔...
.
One thing I haven't shared much of recently is how much work I've put into building my website... It's been weeks and months of grafting .
Here's the next section of my home page. All made with clickable images to link to my ordering page, blog etc.
.
I've already had some really positive feedback and some good ideas for areas to improve. The link is in my bio if you would like to have a look

I know how precious your child's clothing is to you. I always take utmost care with it and spend a lot of time working out how to balance the colours patterns and textures to create the most gorgeous looking keepsake.
.
Today tho I have done very little sewing because my daughter had an inset day. .
We've been doing drawing and painting at home this morning. And this afternoon we went swimming - we had the whole pool to ourselves it was fab!!

Hi 👋 What are you up to this evening?
.
I've been binding a quilt and watching tv. A bit of Kirsty and Phil doing 'Love it or List it' if you are wondering 🤣
.
There are some pics of the quilt I'm binding in my stories. Please have a look and let me know what you think... .
It's made from 2 little girl's clothes, with a white waffle sash, soft blue backing and a pink binding. I can't wait to show you all of it when it's completed. @daniellelouisebound
.
The giraffe in the pic is Cora's, I used a Christmas print on her nose to match with her horn and tail tips ❤❤ One more pic of her tomorrow .

'Hello World'! .
Cora's giraffe, including some lovely dark blues, & this Dumbo babygro on her tummy that says Hello World.
.
My average working day is wrangling my daughter to school, posting on social media and then getting stuck into keepsake making. .
At 3.10 I'm off up to school to pick her up. Today's after school plan is soft play. Which I love but lots of parents loathe!! I love a hot coffee and a chat...
.
Do you love it or loathe it??
