Gumdrops & Bunting

Hello!
Thought I would share some presents I made for the children at Christmas.  The first is some funky bunting, now hanging in Aidan's room.

Aidan is at the "between" stage (2 years old), when he has outgrown the baby-ishness but is still a little small  to develop strong likes and dislikes . . . except where spaghetti is concerned ;)
I wanted to create a playful atmosphere in Aidan's room and am quite happy with the cheerfulness the bunting creates.  However - not long enough!!! Will have to revisit the sewing machine soon.

Here are the other items; two "gumdrop" cushions for Georgia and Aidan.



The pattern design is from the Amy Butler Range, of which I just HAD to have when I saw them.  The sales assistant suggested they were just a glorified "poof", but surely they are more!! Can't you just imagine the joy these gumdrops would bring children to roll around on? Or at the end of a long hard day at the office comforting your sore toes with a big squishy pillow . . .
