I decided to start a thread for any arts and crafts you do and want to share. I know I post in others but I just wanted to share how much its helping to calm my mind and would definitly recommend everyone having a go. You don't have to be prefect just happy with your own achievement. Its Daloni that actually gave me this idea for a thread with her wonderful things she makes. So here is our very own girls.
My latest project...
I have done the shading but I think I may add some colour maybe watercolor not totally decided yet.
Wonderful gloves, Daloni. They look incredibly warm. Love the foxy motif. Xx
This is really very beautiful . It also looks like it would be very warm too.
Beautiful ! I love the stockings but can’t imagine a modern mum putting them on her baby :-)

Kircal, that's wonderful! Must admit I wouldn't do the legging/ tights but the jacket is fab. Is the border knitted with the garment or picked up and knitted separately afterwards. These tradional matinee coats seem to be making a comeback at the moment. My daughters' have requested them in preference to more modern cardigans for their friends babies. x
Hi Kircal,
That is lovely, my friend has similar little coats for her baby, the recipient will love it.
Xxx
The border could have all been knitted with the main matinee coat if I hadn't decided to do it in a different colour. As it was I had to knit it and stitch it together where needed. At one point I was cursing the two tone effect because of this but I'm pleased with the end result.
I can't imagine anyone these days putting their baby in the leggings! They look ridiculous and itchy
