My Watermelon Wishes

My sister bought me these amazing plant pots for my birthday which my youngest is obsessed with. She was playing ‘weddings’ earlier and making the llamas get married, as I’m still at the cutting stage I didn’t move them as I don’t need the space tonight. I’m about to cut this cute little llama sleepsuit and it made me smile because it looks like the bride and groom are watching their friends 🥰

Well this has been a long time coming but tonight I’ve got a good selection of lovely clothes cut out, a couple more evenings and I’ll be ready to start sewing 🥰

This lovely customer has been so patient whilst life has been taking its toll on me but finally I’m getting started on this lovely blanket to be!

It’s been such an unlucky couple of months with my whole family getting a sickness bug at different times, then less than a week after I started my new job I got a chest infection and was so exhausted with it I literally slept any spare moment I had! This week we are on our holidays and although I’m still coughing and struggling to catch my breath we are having a lovely week away! I am excited to feel well enough to work on my customers blanket and my two girls blankets when I get home so keep watching over the next couple of weeks for progress pictures ❤️

I’ve been working on the layout for my next blanket today and this made me so happy! It’s great when the customer knows exactly what they want but also gives me the flexibility to create the layout myself ❤️ I’m so excited for this one, it’s the biggest blanket I’ve made for a customer 🥰

Well what a week it’s been! This is a scheduled post written at 11pm last night when I’ve had one heck of a week being surrounded by sick children and husband, when they started to get better then were then sick again a few days later. So I’ve not managed to post any in progress pics for a while (not just the poorly household but my whole life has felt hectic for a while so I forgot about social media a bit!) anyway that’s besides the point!

Today I finished this lovely little boys blanket and it’s now on its way to its new home ❤️

I’m trying out my new tea pot tonight whilst I cut some more of this blanket 🥰 who drinks loose leaf tea and has any recommendations for a good one to try?

Okay I need to work out a pretty way of hanging these but as I’m making my daughters a memory blanket each made out of their cat clothes to go in their cat themed room and I’ve got some off cuts that were just crying out to be mini hoops 😍 how cute is this little kitty!!

2023 is coming to an end and with it will bring an end to my current prices. My prices are extremely reasonable and I want to keep them that way but I would also like to pay myself for some of the time it takes me to make these items so I will be increasing my prices slightly.

If you want to take advantage of my current prices then all I ask is that you put down a £10 deposit to secure your order and you can then send me your items at any time with no rush ❤️

Merry Christmas and happy new year 🥳

The lighting was terrible and I’ve posted the blanket now before taking a better picture but this cute blanket is off to its new now now ❤️

Just the ends to tie off and the final bit of hand sewing and then this blanket will be off to its new home ❤️

My favourite part ❤️ when the blanket all starts coming together! I’ve got two rows left to add and then it’s just backing it and then this gorgeous blanket will be on its way to its new owner.

I’ve not posted for a while because the last six weeks have been crazy! I’m finally feeling human again and I’ve got this lovely blanket to finish over the next couple of days ❤️

How apt to be cutting this cute little pumpkin tonight 🎃

It’s been a long month of illness for me, usually I can push through whatever I have but this time I’ve been absolutely exhausted and unable to do much at all. Luckily my customer has been super understanding and patient and now I’m excited to be working on her blanket ❤️ more progress pictures will be coming over the next few days!

I’m making two cat blankets for my daughters cat bedroom but I couldn’t help squeezing in some watermelon clothes 😂 I hope they won’t mind!!

So it begins, I’ve promised my eldest daughter that when she wakes up I will have some of her blanket cut and ready to see! I have done a 10 hour shift at work and just got my kids to bed so I’m knackered so this is my accountability post to say I will get some cut!

Good morning!

I’ve been quiet for a while as I’ve been focusing on finishing my college course and qualifying ASAP but I wanted to say hello 👋🏻 and check in.

I also need to close my books for Christmas delivery shortly, I’ve got a couple of orders to get through and also now the beautiful warm weather has gone I owe my two girls a cat blanket each to go in their newly decorated cat bedroom! I owe my son a school uniform cushion now he’s finished primary school and I owe my youngest a memory blanket of her first years clothes. Not only this but I’ve promised them I’ll ‘upgrade’ the beautiful Christmas blanket I had made a few years ago. It’s a bit small for the kids to share now and we have a whole bunch of Christmas outfits from my youngest that need to be added to it. With this in mind if you would like an order for a blanket or cushion in time for Christmas then please send your clothes to me no later than October 15.

I’m a bit late the write this post but I’ve had this page for just over a year now which is amazing 🤩 I’ve not advertised much as I went back to work and college soon after starting the page so I’ve not been able to take on as many commissions as I’d like. I really want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s ordered from me over the last year, it means a lot! I said at the start of the year that I was going to put my prices up in line with other people making memory items but I’ve not done so yet, at the moment I’m not charging for my time but unfortunately like all of us right now we are feeling the pinch so as of September 11th I will be increasing my prices so if you would like to order at the current prices quoted then please contact me and pay a non refundable deposit of £15 towards your items to secure your order.

Today I gave my daughter her first sewing lesson, she was scared to start with but gave everything a good go! She’s so excited to have made her teddy a blanket out of some previous customers left over fabric ❤️ she was a little distracted when the smallest woke from her nap and came to see what was going on!

Another blanket finished, both will be posted tomorrow 😊

One blanket finished tonight with another one to finish tomorrow ❤️

Tonight I’m getting this blanket finished even if I have to stay up all night 😂 I’m joking I’ve only got two more rows to sew and then I’ll be backing it tomorrow 😊

I went out the feed my hedgehog and now it’s time to cut some squares ❤️

My youngest has been poorly so I’ve not had time to sew this last week. Well tonight she was sleeping well (she’s awake for a midnight party now) but in that time I got some squares cut 🥰
