My Creative Space - A Little Ray of Sunshine ♪

♪ A little ray of sunshine...has come into the world. ♪

♪ A little ray of sunshine...in the shape of a girl. ♪

♪ She can make you feel good..she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile...only by her smile. ♪


This song was chosen for me by my own Papa bear when I was born and it has been the tune I've hummed over and over whilst stitching together the vintage sheet top for mon petit poppet's big girl bed quilt. I have heard it a million times and it never fails to make me smile..and get a wee bit misty eyed.




Much love to you my girl, and to my wonderful dad (who had a very similar moustache and beard combo at the time of my birth...trés chic!)

Creative magic at work here.

  4. Beautiful quilt!

    And I love that song.. We actually made a video for Sophie's 3rd birthday to that song! It was made from all the best photos of her, from birth until her 3rd birthday.

    Hope you are well Xx
