Wow! Thank you all so much again for your kind, kind words and support. The good news is that both Bella and I are on the mend. And I am determined that we will actually manage to have a relaxed, normal weekend this weekend. D'ya hear me world? Normal. Relaxed. Please.
And now I think it's time to leave the Blog of Job (as I now refer to TreeFall), and return to the fun stuff of crafting.
I mentioned the other day that I'd been working on something new and here it is....
Children's apron and baking sets.
The set includes an apron suitable in size for a 2 year old and upwards. And 5 wooden child's utensils, including a rolling pin and pastry brush. It also includes a tin of super cute metal number cookie cutters, that I'm really loving! And all of it fits in to the matching mini tote.
I originally came up with this design when I was working on party bags for Bella's birthday. Because there were only a few children coming I decided to make each one an apron with some cookie cutters in the pockets.
But after the party was cancelled (twice) I decided to just run with the idea and came up with the super, super cute utensils and tote.
I really loved the idea of a complete baking set in a bag and am just disappointed that I couldn't include a book too!
I think the set is suitable for any child from two onwards and with that in mind have tried to make it as safe as possible. I was really aware that when Bella wears her (store brought) apron that it would be possible to get the neck strap caught and choke her, so I've attached one end of the neck strap with a strong velcro, that will come apart if pulled.
I've also made the straps long enough that there's plenty of room for growth.
I've had a lot of fun with these sets and there are definitely more to come. In fact I've just ordered a ton more fabric just with these in mind!
These two are in the shop now.
Along with these three pretty girls...
This is Poppy..
Gracy...
And Daisy...
Thanks again and again and again to everybody for all your support. No amount of words could come close to explaining just how much your comments and emails mean to me and Jim.
Hopefully with the end of February next week, we can move onwards and upwards and get back to some form of normality - including a lot more crafting!
