My heart swelled with joy as Jack (4 year old) pointed out he had drawn an owl. Totally unprompted. My boys would much rather kick a ball and run around like mad men than sit and draw. So this is pretty cool for me to see.
The boys are now playing 'night bowling' (in the morning) and I have a moment to catch up on emails and feed the blog. They have closed all the doors in the hall and have a torch set up behind the pins!update: we have just had the awards ceromony for the bowling and I was presented with 3 toys from Harry for participating (I snuck in and did one bowl). There is now a disco going on in the hall. The boys have great taste and are showing of their moves to the sound of Joss Stone.
Whenever I get new fabric from the printers I'm always itching to cut it up and make stuff! So here is a pencil case (going to Cocoon) and stuffed toy. Also a BIG roll of candy striped nylon bakers twine from The Bay Tree (thanks for the tip off Miss K).

cuuuuuuuuuuuute! I'm loving that pencil case. The new print (and the colour) are gorgeous!
The bowling game sounds like fun and I too LOVE that new fabric-makes a great pencil case.
That has sewn up so nicely! And the owl is certainly a pretty special picture to keep.
LOVE the pencil case... the new fabric has worked a treat!
It is very nice when your kid can do something (like drawing a beautiful owl) you didn't expect! I posted an item under the same name 'proud' and the same subject a few days ago (http://vlijtig.blogspot.com/2008/01/proud.html). I love your ladybug print!

Wow! Jack is on the pulse of current trend since owls seem to be the emerging rage. Amazing for a 4 year old! Way to go Jack!
Love the little stuffed toy and case. I don't which it inspires me to do print my own fabric or take a sewing class. Decisions, decisions.
Maybe a round of disco night bowling will sort things out?
wow not only a talented textile designer but what fantastic sewing, whipping up a pencil case. i am lucky to thread the cottong!
