Sweet & Soft :: Little Birdy

I am having a classic "While the cat is away, the mice will play" day. My boy is off overseas for 2 weeks and Nicky has disappeared for a week at the beach... so this little mouse has been playing with Cotton Paint 2006 Vol.25 again! (If you are reading this Nicky I also got all my work done... promise!)

I seem to have got to the age where my friends are all having babies... The 21st birthday parties are long over! And so it seems are most of the 30ths. There are not many weddings marked on my social calendar, but the babes are arriving thick and fast! Apparently Australia is enjoying a bit of a baby boom. Thank goodness for those lovely Japanese magazines, as new babes need gifts!

Love these patchwork bibs in Cotton Paint! They made them reversible.


I adjusted the pattern a bit to make it longer. When I was in Tokyo I noticed that lots of the bibs were more like a collar... a bit of a fashion accessory. In my mind this doesn't seem to be practical enough for your average Aussie, you need something to catch all that dribble! I also didn't plan to have an orange theme, it just seemed to happen.


These are stroller toys... I wasn't sure about the ribbons. Are these safe for kids? So I didn't include it... maybe something attached with velcro would make it safer.


Such sweet little treats! Better get back to work before the cats get back and find out what I have been up to! T
