Happy Friday!! I made a promise to post each Monday but I had a job interview this week that I had to prepare for so I am a little late in blogging. Fingers crossed for the job... now I have a two-week wait.
Speaking of waiting, my sister Megan is expecting bubby boy shortly and I am enjoying waiting for my nephew Ethan to arrive. I am a bit chuffed I will be an aunty with a nephew as I have a neice but not a nephew yet. Ethan will be a little brother for Amelie. The scary thing is he is due in a matter of weeks (unless he arrives early!) and I have loads of ideas for things to make. I would have started earlier but life has been full of other things... like work (sigh!). One thing I have bought for Ethan is this lovely print by artist Mati Rose McDonough from her Etsy shop.

I am a big fan of giving children art and when Amelie was born we gave her this print from Carla Sonheim's "Girls" series (I made the teddy bear for her too along with some other pressies).
I hope Ethan likes his print. The artist said the little lucky elephant was a symbol for luck as well as strength, solitude, wisdom, intelligence and a strong sense of loyalty to the family, which are all lovely things for a bubby boy! Now I must get crafting. Have a lovely weekend!
I looooove the little bear you made for Amelie--and the painting by Mati is gorgeous and so meaningful! Congrats on being an aunt the second time around. :)
