The Sad Picnic

A quilt for Celestine

Celestine likes reading Peter Rabbit

Celestine was tired of sleeping in a sock so I made her this nice patchwork quilt to sleep under instead.  I thought it would be nice to make it sort of seasonal so there are lots of reds, oranges and yellows in it.  Celestine likes it so much that she is demanding we make another Christmassy themed one for December. I said: 'I expect you'll want another one for spring and then another one for summer too!?' and she said: 'Yes please. I like to have a selection.'  

Not demanding at all!

patches all laid out in order.

Celestine likes to help out.

the finished article!

goodnight Celestine. (really she's just posing here. As soon as this photo was taken she jumped right out!)

stars, stripes, leaves and flowers.

What do you think? Happy Monday everyone!

Meet Celestine!

This is Celestine.  She is 4 inches high.  She likes (in no particular order):

dressing up, exploring, eating chocolate, reading her tiny books (especially 'Ernest et Celestine' as Celestine is her namesake), being transported about in pockets, making mischief, stargazing, drawing, boating down little streams, making magic, writing letters, visiting the seaside, cinnamon, searching for crystals, making perfume from flowers, Christmas-time, pumpkin houses, baking, Halloween, witch's hats, cheese, toadstools, pointy boots.
