My (knotty) Creative Space

Abbey's blankie.

In My Creative Space this week, I have been finishing Abbey's kinder blanket.

Pillow and blankie.

She needed a little pillow too, so I made one out of the left over backing fabric (Abbey chose this fabric herself, I wish I bought more of it now, I have grow to really love it)

Her name is a little wonky, the "A" especially. Why do I feel that the letters in her name have to be perfectly formed? It is all about embracing the wonk, isn't it? It is home made after all, I have to keep reminding myself.

Test run. I like it.

The proof is in pudding, she loves it.

Feet.

I was inspired to make one of these blankets after seeing this gorgeous version. Fabulous idea from this lovely book.

Have a lovely Thursday checking out all the Creative Spaces.

    I love it! That fabric is gorgeous! Your embroidery is very nice too - mine would be more wonky than that for sure!! You can see the whole set is made with love :-)

    Gorgeous blanket. I can see she already loves it, and doesn't care that you think the stitching is wonky!
