Reveal: Dramatic Little Storm Cloud

Reveal of my 'Sneak Peek No.2'! Ok, so it isn't quite finished yet (a trip to my local craft store is in order as I've run out of metallic gold thread to sew the thunderbolt!), but I couldn't resist sharing. It's dark here too so picture quality not the greatest...
Hanging mobiles of sunshines and rainbows is all very well, but storm clouds and lightening are beautiful too. Let's teach our children this and quash their fears, with this dramatic little cloud and its sparkling raindrops 
More colour variations to follow...

Reveal: Grapefruit Blanket -alternative name suggestions?

Here she is...



The very first of my 'sneak peek's is revealed... a beautiful blanket. I was inspired by the ripening of local Cypriot Grapefruits and with that in mind, I'd like some help with naming this colourful creation... any suggestions? It fits a single bed (150cms wide by 175cms long when relaxed - it's a squishy soft stretchy one) and of course anyone can own it, but I can see this beauty on a little girl's bed. A girl who is sweet enough and can handle the zestiness of this grapefruity hug. So maybe a lovely gift for the brave young girl who is moving out of her cot and into her 'big girl's bed'? I shall be making a smaller, cot-sized version with a little added extra too, so look out for that one in future.

Note: I started the blog and Facebook page early so I could share the creative process of Made in Summer Street's designs, before launching a whole range, however I feel I'm dangling a carrot, so if you're interested in any items, please pm me and I can give you the details. Also, if you'd like an item but in a different colour scheme, I'd be happy to make custom pieces of your designing... and as each of my products are given their own unique name, you'll also have to provide a suitable title for your idea. :-)
