Erika’s Nana Margaret knitted her this very cute cabled vest. Erika loved a vest as a wee one (she was only 9 months old here! Bless!), because her arms were able to move freely without the bulk of a jumper or coat. Now that she’s a little bit older, I love a vest because she […]
So, I’m about 3/4 of my way through this lovely little beanie design from the Patons Retro Babes book. It’s for my sweet niece, Alana. I’m just about to start the contrast-coloured brim, so I thought I should check it’s length on her first. It’s a wee bit big — I made the six-month size, for […]

In February, my sister and her husband welcomed their second gorgeous girl, Alana Joy. I took the below piccies of my darling niece when she was nearly four weeks old. Now five months old, she has grown into such a delightful little muffin, really responsive and smiley. I can’t wait to see her interacting with […]

My mate Ali and I have been friends for 18 years. So you can imagine how chuffed I was when she welcomed her beautiful baby girl Piper into the world... seems like just yesterday. Well, it wasn’t yesterday — a couple weeks ago Piper celebrated her first birthday. And in fine style — mum baked an angel cake and everything!...
On the 14th of last month, my family welcomed a new addition — my beautiful little niece, Tahlia Mae. From the first, we have all been absolutely besotted with this miniature human. I can’t help but marvel at the miracle of life when I cradle her in my arms. To celebrate her arrival, I have made a little cot quilt, complete with soft...
…and so began my passion for quilting. This beautiful quilt was bought as a kit from a stall at the Australasian Quilt Convention, which is happening again here in Melbourne next week. I will definitely need to pop along to ogle all the beautiful designs and fabrics. I certainly won’t be coveting one of the […]
