Play Time

Sometimes you spend so much time working

that you just need to step away and play :)

I decided to play hookie from "work" yesterday

and spent the afternoon making this fun little play mat 

for my sweet little Daisy May. 

The fabric is "Surrounded by Love" by Deb Strain.

I used a charm pack and a pattern called "Roundabout" 

from the book - Another Bite of Schnibbles".

I changed the outer edge a bit to use up my remaining scraps.

I used nice thick batting to change it from a table top quilt

to a thick and squishy baby play mat.

I also wanted to share with you the super cute

Chicken Matryoshkas that my son and daughter-in-law

brought me from Sequoia.

I was babysitting their 4 Minions for a few days

while they spent some much needed time away.

How cute are these? 

Apparently there is a Nesting doll shop that was just across 

the street from where they were staying.

Lucky me :) 

I guess I'd better get back to sewing.....
