I had come across the fabric below on a trip to Ikea sometime in the Autumn, and had in mind to make a quilted blanket for Little Miss. Unfortunately time/inspiration/bravery seemed to be somewhat short in the run up to Christmas, but in those quiet days before New Year I LOVED making something special for my beautiful girl! 
I patchworked randomly in gorgeous bright colours (mainly pink of course!), then machine quilted that, with the wadding, to a fleecey blanket before putting on the above fabric as a backing/front (depending on which way she has it!) and binding it. She absolutely adores it and i was thrilled with it too!
A great crafty end to 2009...

Here's what the postman delivered to her this morning...
Hope we don't get the snow that's forecast (AGAIN), life was only just starting to get back to normal (whatever that is...!!)
The little people are loving it, Sledging, Igloo building, Snowmen (and women!) galore, days off school (all back now though thankfully!), rosey cheeks and LOTS of hot chocolate!!!
