I got the idea when my MIL gave me these pre-quilted place mats. Unfinished. Someone had given them to her...and she didn't care for them. I thought they were outdated....but had potential.
All they needed was some modern binding and cute embroidery.
Sofia wanted me to make it a "lol cat", but I wasn't sure my 8-year-old niece would know what that was.
Instead, I went with the "decorative kitty tired of just sitting on the table - ready for a cup of her own".
...and, of course, the ever-adorable intimate objects with smiley faces. The Japanese are pioneers of cuteness.
My Sofia is also a never-ending spout of talent (and cuteness). I handed her my water-soluble pen and told her to draw me something. She whipped this right out.

Your smiling sugar cubes are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love everything about those mats! Hmmm. I wonder if I can find Lucy some at the thrift store... And then learn how to embroider...and finish a project.
ReplyDeleteYou and the hooligans are uber talented and sometimes arouse feelings of jealousy over here in the Tunnell household. But only the nice, adore your style sort of jealousy.
You guys are both so talented! I love your embroidry Lia. That is just adorable! Luna will love it!
