made with love for little Ivy



A little slapped together appliqued singlet for Baby Ivy & in the background my latest handmade cot quilt in progress.

Hey, I have a brand new niece, named Ivy Piper & she is so adorable!! I went to visit her for the first time last Saturday. Boy am I clucky now!
My youngest turns three this Friday, & I am starting to feel like time is flying by too fast.
I have decided to spoil this new niece of mine. I can't stop lavishing her with gifts & I think I'm doing this to take my mind off my decision not to have any more bambinos. As much as I love 'em I think I know my limits as a two kiddie mama ( I have two beautiful healthy children & just turned forty & can't afford to get any more bitter & twisted) .It is wonderful to have another little muse.

Methinks Ivy will be chuffed as anything to do the muse malarkey with this sort of reward!

Lovely singlet you have made for Ivy.
And the cot quilt in the background look so beautiful.

That bird is absolutely delightful.

Good to know your limits, even though they come with bittersweetness. I've been wondering whether to revise our enthusiasm for a brood of four when the current two are driving. me. insane. Then again, maybe we'd get a girl... oh, surely girls are so very different...? Or not.

That is so sweet! I was so blessed to have an aunt who gave me handmade gifts so I'm sure Ivy will love this. She has a beautiful name.
