I’ve not been doing much knitting lately.  I’ve just not been enthusiastic about the jumper I’m knitting I suppose and don’t have much incentive to pick up the needles.

Anyway, here’s Bonzer…

He’s a character designed by Melly and Me.  I sell Melly and Me patterns on my website and Mum made him up as sample for the craft stall that we were at recently.

I know it’s only September, but Christmas will be here before we know it!  Scary thought eh?

Well we’ve just started stocking Melly & Me sewing patterns in the shop now and my Mum immediately grabbed one of the patterns, Rudy, and made this little fellow with some Christmas fabric in her stash.

Is he cute? It only took Mum an afternoon to make him and she said it was very straight forward to follow the pattern.

My Mum recently pointed me in the direction of these really cute sewing patterns from Australian design team Melly & Me. I thought the toys were simply irresistible so I decided to stock some of their patterns in my shop!

Mum is already making Rudy the reindeer with some christmas fabric from her stash!

On the knitting front, the jumper I’m knitting for my friend’s little boy is nearly done.  I just have one sleeve and one side to sew up.  Just as well really as I’m seeing them for dinner tomorrow night, so I need to get it finished tonight!
