Claire's quilted blanket

Image
Claire's birthday came and went back in July .  I did warn her that my light bulb moment had come a bit late (after her birthday) and that it would take a little while to sort out.  She had seen O's 'all boy' quilt and Martha's play mat and liked them both.  So why it took my brain so long to put one and two together I don't know!  Eventually realising she'd love something that combined Cath Kidston fabrics with a cottagey feel I started looking for the right things.  So I had to confess it might be a while before she got her birthday present.

The house got a mini spring-clean and O's toys and books have been sorted.  We went grocery shopping and I had some friends coming round for a catch-up and take-away in the evening.  It is only 11am and although it has been a lazy morning lots has already been done. There has even been some time for me to pick up the knitting project again.  The back is finished, I'm now working on the first half of the front - still loving this yarn and its colours!  It's a rainy day today, so there might be time to do some more later.  Me and O have refilled the log basket, he's such a good boy and likes helping with little chores.  The wood burner is lit, glowi
