I am sorry for my lack of posts. Skip to bottom of post if you want to see my make. My daughter and son in law had this little bundle of mischief on 11 Dec 2019, let me introduce my grandson Alfred. His birth ended up as a C section, but both him and my daughter are fine, he was a very healthy 9lbs 3ozs. I was with them all through it and saw him as soon as he was moved to the recovery room, truly a magical moment. As we have funny blood in the family they didn't want to take any risks with DD so I was travelling down to their house every evening after work to give a double dose of blood thinning injections. Anyone who has had these will know they are quite painful injections to have.  Alfie also had a 100% love heart tongue tie, he gained weight well with my DD feeding him but was choking and getting quite frustrated. So he was assessed then 5 days later had his tongue tie corrected, his still learning to move his tongue properly but is doing really well.  S...

Crafting this month will be a little bit hit and miss as I am away from home looking after my friends house, so between work and that I do not have much time to craft. However I have taken all my stamps with me to sort out and organise in a new way. I have spent an afternoon at home this week so made a couple of cards This was a quick make using an image from one of the Hunky-Dory Little Books I cut it down to a smaller size and matted it onto a piece of left over blue card. I had used the centre of the card to die cut the sentiment so it matched perfectly. This card was for a male friend of mine and the sentiment had  flowers swirling from it so I just cut these off. I then used a piece of left over red glitter card and a snippets of yellow to finish it.

I had some squares left over from the quilt so thought I would make a taggy blanky for my friends baby as well. These are basically soft blankets with lots of different textures. Firstly I made the 12" x 12" patchwork square with the leftovers from the quilt. I have a box that I keep all my snippets of ribbons in that I snip off from clothes, gifts etc. This came into its own to attach lots of assorted ribbons to the square. I backed it all with a piece of minky fabric that is so soft to touch. Everything was secured into place by running a couple of rows of stitching around the edge.
