Nanny Dear

Its a very sad day for me indeed. Our Nanny is moving on, after 4 very blessed years with us.  My little girl came up to me yesterday morning and said, "Nanny's Heart is broken, but Nanny is going to get a new heart"

So a new heart it it!  Hopefully she will carry it with her and remember us always!

Heart of Africa

A special little request. I really hope she loves it!





What once was a plain piece of metal, has turned into something truly special.

LeapPad Cover

Here's the little cover I made for my Little One's Christmas present. She is going to be so chuffed.



Started off with This: A blanket (or batting will do just fine) and some pretty contrasting material.


 Cut out the blanket/batting a little bigger than the LeapPad, leaving enough for the flap.


Cut out both pieces of the Material, the same size as the batting. I left a little around the edges and trimmed it afterwards.


Stitch along the middle to quilt the pieces together.



Pretty on both sides.


Here's where I added the ribbon, for a pretty finish.


Strips of the Contrasting fabric for the Edging.


Edge the top and bottom before sewing the sides together.


Edge the sides and add the finishing touches - elastic and a button.
