This set of photos is my first attempt in a long time to take photos in direct sunlight. Some bloggers manage to do it beautifully, but it's harder than it looks! I borrowed my Dad's new second hand DSLR to take these and I love it. With my new job I should be able to invest in a camera upgrade in the next couple of months and I'm so excited!

I am so excited to have finished this project! Sometime in summer I read this post by love elycia about her Mario Mushroom blanket. My little brother is seriously obsessed with everything Nintendo so I knew I wanted to make one for him.
