L IS FOR LITTLE AND LOVE! I couldn’t sleep the other night and after wrestling with covers, tossing and turning with a whole lot of groaning, this thought balloon popped into my head. Then, fired up, I couldn’t get to sleep at all, finally drifting off around 4:00 am. It seems the bedroom and the bathroom yield some of the best ideas!
So I’ve come up with 26 letters of the alphabet, a small project, 16 x 16 that is perfect for a pillow topper. I immediately jumped to the "L" and took it home last night to hook but didn't get settled in my hooking chair until late in the evening so didn't get it finished as hoped, but there is enough done to get the picture of how cute they will be. I worked it in bright colours to add fun to the design. Normally I would have used the primaries as my entire house is red, blue and yellow themed, but this one is for the shop and will have a price tag for the summer trade. Next I’m thinking about hooking the letter M for my son’s surname. I’ve never hooked anything for him so a pillow for his apartment would be a nice gesture. He wants it in colours to match his furniture, reds, browns, black and grey. A completely opposite colour plan but will be just as lovely. I hope to use plaids for a rich, study sort of look.
The patterns are not very detailed so I hooked in #7 and #8 for the speed factor but it can be hooked in smaller cuts for those who prefer it. The line of designs will be called "Initially Yours" so when ordering ask for Iniatially Yours and the letter you wish to hook.

I now have the red dots made for each letter and we will work on getting them on the website asap. The designs are all basically the same, featuring similar motifs arranged differently. The letters are a strong focal and uppercase. A perfect size pattern for gift giving, especially for a newly married couple! You can also use the letters for first names and have personalized pillows for each family member, an heirloom the kids can take with them when they move out of the nest on their journey to adulthood. A small project that packs a big punch.
