With Christmas nearly here (alright, so 84 sleeps to be exact!) I now have many Christmas present WIP's, which means that I won't be able to show much of what I'm working on for a while for fear of ruining anyones surprise! I can show you a cushion that I made for a birthday present for a friends daughter:


It is similar to one I made at the beginning of the year for another young lady, but the use of different fabrics for the flowers and ears means they are both unique.

I've been doing quite a lot of baking this weekend but everything was scoffed before I could take photos - flapjack, chocolate covered cupcakes made by Number 2 son, and the most moist Lemon Drizzle cake you could ever come across thanks to the recipe from Jo at Pickle-Lily (it's here if you want it http://lifewithpickle-lily.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/lemon-drizzle-cake.html).

A brief post from me this week, but I'll be joining up with everyone at Handmade Monday to get inspiration for next week. I'd like to sign off by thanking you all for such lovely comments about the Teacup and Saucer last week. It really was such a cute thing to make.

Have a great week,
Love Natalie

    Awww such a cute cushion, I love the contrast colour of the flower, chocolate covered cupcakes would never last in this house either :)

    A very lovely cushion:) Personally thinking of risking the blogging of handmade xmas gifts as I don't think anyone in my family read my blog!!! But I know what you mean:)!

    Nice applique work. Have you ever used piping on the edges of a cushion? x

      I haven't, although I often see gorgeous piping in shops and think I should! I'm not very good at those finishing touches that could probably make a real difference. Thanks for the tip!

    Perhaps you should enter the Bake Off next year. Your cushion is very cute.
