Christmas gifts

I can't believe I've let it go a bit over two months since my last post! It feels like so much has happened... much of it is just life (work, kids, etc) and not much else mind you. But I did get some time in to stitch in the lead up to Christmas!! This year I decided to go with Melly&Me plush toys for the kids—'Clucky' for Sofia, and Dougal the Dragon from the Melly&Me book Sew Fantasy Toys. 


I find making softie/plush toys a bit fiddly at times to make, although these patterns were really easy to follow—particularly the one from the book.


And the finished products... I just love!! So happy with how these turned out :)



Unfortunately the photos of the kids opening their 'mummy-made' presents were all quite dark, but you can just make out Sofia's glee when she saw hers. That face certainly makes all the fiddly bits worth it!


Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas, we certainly have. Our time has been spent with family in Tasmania and I hope to post more of it soon.

Until next time xx
