Wow where has the year gone?! Our little boy is turning 1 next Thursday! And I have just finished his name banner.

I bought some lovely Japanese fabrics the other week and today I turned them elephants and giraffes now avaliable in my etsy shop!

All the babies in my playgroup are turning 1 at the moment so I thought I would have a go at making them all flags with their name on. First up was Piper, have attached some pictures of her flag!

I'm not sure if I will add these to the shops yet, but they were fun to make!

I am so excited as this week I am the feature shop on the NCtriangle Blog dedicated to Etsy members in and around the triangle area in North Carolina. Each Wednesday they feature an Etsy shop from outside their team and this week its me! Hopefully this will generate some expose for Sammybhandmade! Also one of my elephant cuddly's is on the meet me at mikes blog today, go check it out!

Well where do I start, I know its been far to long since my last blog but we have all been sick with the flu. It seemed to keep going around and has taken us a while to shake it off! And Sebastian has been teething also (he now has 2 top teeth), It really has been a horrible few weeks! But now I am pleased to say we are all better and the sun is shinning, yey! - after a week of rain - which we needed so I'm not complaining, it is great to be able to get out and about again! Sebastian's favorite thing to do at the moment is feeding the ducks, we go every day for a visit and he has just started saying Duck! So cute!

Thought I would show you all some pictures of my lovely family! Last weekend we went to visit our friends Arlinna and Turo at there new home. After a lovely lunch we went for a walk and popped Sebastian in the swing for the first time! He wasn't sure of what to make of it at first but after a while he loved it! And the other photo is on the way home! Poor little thing was very tired!

Just thought I would share some photos of my lovely taggy cats! These will be avaliable in my madeit and etsy shops! Will be listing them through out the day! So make sure you go have a look!
