Half way through the appliqué and I can't decide if I love the unicorns or the rainbows more! Adding the eyes to the unicorns has added personality too.
Just keep going, just keep going...

Nursery Dreaming for Throw Back Thursday
Watching 2015 end had me looking back at some of my favourite moments for Rhapsody and Thread in 2015. This was one of them, when I pretended for a day that I had a baby girl again. I decorated Isla's old cot with a bunch of gorgeous goodies from Adairs. The cot quilt and little throw pillow were the result of a collaboration with Rebecca Judd. So stylish and unlike anything that was around when I was looking for baby bedding! I think the watermelon nightlight was part of the colab too! So fun!! The knit cushion and blanket, also from Adairs, were SO soft and snuggly. The colours were just perfect for styling my Elephant Dolls.
So this top image actually shows off the Sleeping Angel Elephant that I made for my great-nan after she passed away a few months ago. She wore that dusky pink colour a lot, and I added a halo and wings to my usual Elephant pattern. I also added a kind of cape so that I could hang her on the wall. I was hoping to create a sense that she was watching over us. She still hangs in the play room and I always think of my nan when I see her there.
The Sleeping Angel Elephants will be released in 2016.
The sweet image is of Miss Chive. Still currently available in my Big Cartel Store.
Miss Pelagia Ballerina, also still available.
Miss Chive Ballerina, available via custom order.
Here they are snuggled up together.
Elephant Dolls will be available for custom order when I reopen my virtual doors on Feb 1st 2016.

{Progress} Unicornia Quilt for Isla Skye || Rhapsody and Thread
Choosing fabrics was SO MUCH FUN!
We chose the plain and coloured quilting weight cotton fabrics from Carols of Midland. The Liberty fabrics came from a range of places including Shaukat, The Strawberry Thief and Materialise Your Life.
Deciding which prints to put where was more challenging, but watching the pattern pieces come together was fantastic! Mum helped me. I think we had The Proposal on the telly, and we traced and ironed and cut for hours!
Then placing the pattern pieces on the blocks was really fun! Don't they look beautiful!
Now to start the applique process... my poor back... haha
