W.i.P. - Red Riding Returns

The sun is back. Warm temperatures are back. Yes, both aren't a permanent fixture yet but I'm sooo happy and excited. I just love spring and summer.

Anyhow, I've been very slow working on my Little Red Riding Hood cushion cover. You saw it last three weeks ago. Although I finished the tiny corner elements, I was lost for ideas to fill out the whole triangles and I still am. I knew, however, that I wanted to add the baby girl's initial to one of them.

Alas, the name was still a secret and my hands tied. No longer! Little C has finally been born - oh, she's gorgeous - and I got working. I found the letter here and freestyle transferred it to the fabric. Thank goodness for trick markers.

The first pic was taken yesterday evening in artificial light, the second one this morning with the trick marker lines erased. Now I still need inspiration to strike for the rest...

I aim at finishing it in about two weeks. Originally I'd planned to have it ready for postage the minute after the announcement, yeah, plans, but now I'm thinking I want to present it personally. So giving the new parents a few weeks to settle in before invading their happy baby bubble seems like a good idea to save them - and me - stress.
