Under the Sea Family Tree for Izzy

 Our youngest granddaughter Isobel Isla (Izzy) arrived in March 2022 and so another family tree blanket project began.  It always surprises me where inspiration for projects comes from.  This time leafy kelp was what caught my attention so it became an underwater family tree.Under the Sea Family Tree for Izzy

The clean up and transformation begins

Possession Date  - 6th March 2019   The planets aligned and we found we could make a last minute trip to be there for the handover.
