My daughter & I made these bowls from pipecleaners & using plastic egg to shape it. First u cut them in half & make into an 8 point star. Make a ninth spoke with long pipecleaner & use the spare end to weave under
& over spokes, first moulding around egg base. Keep weaving till the end, then bend the spokes over top of last pipecleaner. Pretty & quick.

My mums quilt
When I got married, my mum made this beautiful quilt for us, which we use every winter. I am giving it an air before putting on my bed. It is gorgeous & my mum is super clever. She has made quilts for my kids too which they love. My magnificent mum, we love you. Xx
Recycling sleep suits!
Sorry it had been an age since I posted. My phone been playing up & not letting me post. I'm not very technical.
So we have entered Autumn & things get cooler at night. My son age 17 months doesn't like covers & after a summer of no need for covers, he won't go in a sleep bag. What to do?!
I loved his sleeping bags from last winter, so I cut them both up into large squares, added some appliques, then bought some lovely dinosaur cuddley cotton sheeting and sewed it all together to make this gorgeous quilt. It is so soft & cuddley, I am very pleased with it. Judd likes it too and when I lay him in his cot for bed, he points at it for me to lay over him. Ok it is off by morning but he likes it too, and that is nice for me!!
