January projects

Here's what I'm hoping to do this month.. Some shelf and book customising, some baby gifts and some papercutting.
Look what you can do with papercutting, isn't that so cute?? Such a great way to personalise.. anything!

And if I could crochet and sew properly, I'd love to have a go at making this too:

La vie en rose

It's not often I get to sew pink fabric! This is a bag for Baby 2, a little girl due in February.
It's copied from a bag my friend made for Y when he was born. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would, the tricky bit being assembling the outside and the inside - considering that the inside somehow ended up slightly larger than the outside! - and then stitching them together at the top.

Next, I'll be making another one just like that for another little girl due in April.
