For the last few months now I have been working on this project that can only be called as insane. I have procrastinated for months while working on it, then worked like a mad woman at it, and am finally this close to finishing it. Now I can’t wait for it to be done.
Here are a few random photos of the-thing.
And here is N patiently keeping me coming while the baby is sleeping and when I am sewing.
In the midst of all this, I sadly forgot to show you the most wonderful gift we received for the new baby a couple of weeks ago.
I mean look at this. Isn’t it adorable? It is a small little elephant to go in in our ‘study’ where I sew and the two babies play 🙂
The story behind it is this: more than a month ago, my blog friend Marta emailed me to tell me that her parents were visiting India. I ‘met’ Marta perhaps a year ago through her lovely blog (you should visit it to see the beautiful clothes she makes for her two daughters) and was more than happy to give her recommendations for fabric shops in Delhi. To my great surprise when I met Marta’s parents (two lovely people) they handed us a bag with goodies. Inside it was this elephant made by Marta!
And these most beautiful buttons with a note.
Thank you Marta! I love the elephant and the buttons, and am happy to report that the elephant is being played with everyday and I am saving the buttons to be used with some special fabric 🙂
Wow Asmita! I am so glad to know your kids liked the little elephant! I have already sewn a couple of skirts for my daughters with one of the amasing fabrics you sent me and they look adorable. (I have to take photos very soon and blog about it!)
Your quilt looks gorgeous! I wish i had the patience to quilt…
Oooh, can’t wait to see the skirts Marta! I am sure you’ve come up with something fabulous 🙂
Yes, the elephant is a hit right now, esp. with the older one.
What a cute elephant. Isn’t it lovely getting crafty gifts!
And what a happy coloured quilt. Good luck getting it finished.
Thanks Shelly. I think all the luck is needed for that one. N has been patient but I need to get this one done SOON.
Such a lovely gift! I’d forgotten all about this little elephant – now I feel I must make it for a little baby boy!
It is, isn’t it? And I think this little elephant makes the study feel more complete with its presence 🙂
Squishy mail, that is what my sewing girlfriends and I call it.
What a lovely elephant to put in your study.
