I'm beginning to feel a little bit like Little Bo Peep with the number of Lambykins I've been churning out lately. We've been experiencing a bit of a baby boom. The Goldies welcomed Marcus (no 2!) to their family in early December. We finally managed to catch up with the Goldies last weekend to meet Marcus. To celebrate Marcus's arrival I made the traditional lambykins.

For the first time in a long while I had a sewing mishap. I was using a new fleece material that I hadn't used before. When I finish a Lambykins I often use the smoover to iron the ear flat so it sits nicely. Stupidly I didn't test the new fleece with the smoover and it melted the material. I now have a Lambykins with a bald patch just above the ear. I couldn't give away damaged goods as a present so I had to start again. Doh! Not sure what to do with the damaged Lambykins. Any suggestions? (I'm having a run of sewing bad luck. When I made up the 2nd Lambykins I managed to sew over my finger. It hurt. A lot. I would avoid doing it.)


Both Eddy and Goldy celebrate their birthday on January 13th so I also whipped up a towel cape for Eddy as a birthday present and a batch of banana birthday cupcakes in my new red Kitchen Aid.

I'm enjoying crafting in my uni break! (although, technically I'm doing summer school. I'm really giving this subject my all *G*. It's not a teaching subject, I promise!)
