So this little cutie-pie is Mia Luz Fullerton-Meléndez, sitting pretty at nine weeks old in her brand new nursery. I remember packing up this big parcel of fabric just before Christmas and sending it away to a far off place called Jupiter in Florida, USA. I had my fingers crossed that it would arrive in time.
I do love a good customer order and this one was very special. Mari
approached me via my
Etsy shop about ordering some of my printed fabrics for her
new baby's nursery. Mia was due just before Christmas and I had about 3
weeks to get the project done. So began the longest conversation on Etsy to date (38 messages in
total!) Everything was carefully planned by
Mari with mood boards for colour and scale and we discussed measurements
and patterns in detail - It reminded me of when I was pregnant with Stanley and all the
nesting instincts and excitement I had about my future baby - Mari was
bursting with enthusiasm from the start (with just a hint of panic!) and
was planning everything meticulously. Her mum, Gloria, was to be the
Queen of the sewing machine in those last few days before Mia was born
and what a fantastic job she did!
I was so chuffed when I received these photos. I love how the room is
decorated with a white and grey colour scheme and then you get a whoosh
of brights from all my prints and the little extra details! I couldn't have asked for a better result.

The cot below was designed and made by Mia's dad - beautifully simple and even this didn't miss out on the tiniest of cushions!
Thank you, Mari for all the photos and keeping me up to date. I'm so pleased we had a chance to work together.
Meet the happy family:
