I have made a start on Wilbur's throw and am quite pleased with it so far. I had a lovely time picking out the fabrics and of course shopping for the Mickey Mouse fabric whilst on holiday. As I have said before I was really good and restrained myself from buying more fabric and yarn from the wide selection available. I have not made a plan for the throw on paper, which is unusual for me but I do have a plan in my head.
I am loving the Mickey Mouse fabric and am sure Wilbur will to, he is a great fan of all things Disney as are all of the Grandchildren, bless them.
As I said a start as been made and I am quite pleased with the progress so far. It is a project that I am really enjoying, I always do when it is for one of the children.
I came across a lovely post this morning about dishcloths made from old towels and fabric, they looked so pretty that I just had to have a go myself.

I really was thrilled with the end result and call them my little rays of sunshine, the fabric is so bright and cheery they really do make you smile. The towel was once a really bright yellow but is now so washed out there is no colour left. Much better to recycle than throw something away and I was thrilled with the end result. The idea came from Faye over at the Blessed Hearth theblessedhearth.blogspot.co.uk/. Faye has made some really beautiful dishcloths and has lots of other tips to make a welcoming kitchen. Hope you have a good day.
See you soon.
Your new project looks like a lot of fun with the cheery fabrics. Love the idea for the cloths, I'll have to check out her blog. Have a wonderful day. Heather

I've been catching up on your wonderful photos of your holiday in Florida. It looks like you had such a wonderful time. We hope to get back to Disney in the next couple of years. Those Floridian birds are so wonderful. I love to see the different wildlife from different parts of our country and of the world. I'm always in awe of places like Australia who get to see kangaroos bouncing around the backyard. So crazy to me!!! LOL!!! Your throw is undoubtedly going to be wonderful and I love that you're including Mickey Mouse in it!!! Have a wonderful day!!!! xoxo

Your throw is going to look wonderful when it's all done. I love how you're using different sized squares.
ReplyDeleteAnd your rays of sunshine are so happy and bright - thanks for the smiles, my friend :) Hugs!
The Mickey Mouse throw is going to be Wilbur's favourite, I am sure. Are you hand piecing? I am so impressed. Have a great week. x
ReplyDeleteYour Disney throw looks like fun. Patchwork is my favorite so I know it will end up looking great! Your dishcloths also turned out wonderful. What a great idea. Useful and resourceful.

ReplyDeleteThose towels are a great idea, I really like yours. Wilbur's quilt looks great already. The colors are really fun and boyish.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things you have been making. The quilt will be loved for evermore, I'm sure. And what a clever use of old towels! Ray of sunshine indeed. Glad you were able to spend time with your mother, and that your Dad is adjusting and a bit better.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing mama, Wilbur is a very lucky boy. x
ReplyDeleteWow what a superb idea!

ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so glad you are enjoying a lovely time with you mother and your father is feeling better!
I'm so happy that you had a good time with your Mum. I've just returned from spending a few days with mine, and I know how much it means for them to have time with their daughters.
ReplyDeleteThe Disney throw is turning out wonderfully! I agree that it's fun making things for grandchildren. :-)
Those dishcloths are brilliant. I'm going to check out the link.
Lovely time with your Mum, so glad you were able to spend time together. I wonder what a cut up towel would look like with a crochet border around it? I might have to try one.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
