I’m making very slow progress with my Dear Baby Jane block. Tonight I completed C-3 Rayelle’s Fence which was fun. I used some Cath Kidston fabric, I get twitchy if I don’t use some occasionally!

I couldn’t resist making the lavender baby tutorial I saw over at molly chicken yesterday. I think I still have a lot to learn about which fabrics go well together but I love it! I’ve used some Orla Kiely and Michael Miller fabrics for the body and stuffed it with some dried lavender I picked up in Totnes, Devon, before Christmas. It smells beautiful and I’m going to make a few for some friends.

new Cath Kidston duvet set, originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. How gorgeous is this pattern? I wasn’t too sure what it would look like in the shop, but it looks fantastic in our beautiful, sunny bedroom. I have matching napkins too, (but they’re not much use in the bedroom!). It almost looks like a feature in a magazine….

I received this wonderful ornament from Neele in Dusseldorf this week. It was beautifully wrapped and a real pleasure to open! I finished this last minute present for an aunt we are visiting tomorrow. The design is from simple sewing and was so simple to make. I used some of my favourite Cath kidston fabric. We also made some delicious gingerbread biscuits so I hope my aunt likes her handmade gifts. I even made a little felt Robin gift tag!

The Winter Cath Kidston catalogue was waiting for me when I got home from work today. These little tins are cute (although I have plenty of proper vintage tins for my button collection). I love this new Christmas fabric … and these decorations. I think I’ll be heading off to my local Cath Kidston shop this weekend to take a closer look.

I was very excited to find this competition today. I have already made a start on mine. And I’ve set up a group on flickr for anyone who wants to join in the fun!

It’s been a strange week since we’ve returned from our holiday. I’ve had to spend three days at home as we’ve had a garden makeover this week. So I’ve read more and crafted more. Today I made my first doll quilt and it was so much harder than I thought it would be! Don’t look too closely at the picture or else you’ll see all the mistakes. I used some of the vintage fabrics I picked up on holiday, as well as some favourite Cath Kidston ones. I think I need to be a bit more adventurous with my choice…
