Penelope Trixibelle Daisy-Raye was born on 25th March 2018.
Monika and myself have had so much fun creating her, and we hope you will love her too.
Penelope, or Penny, is a magical little baby who comes from the sun. She has a golden heart, so she always carries a piece of Sunshine Land with her.
She loves to give hugs and cuddles and loves to go out and smell the flowers. Penny has a very special friend called Charlie (separate pattern available for purchase in my pattern store) and the two of them can’t wait to go on magical adventures with you.

She is a very special baby, and we know she will spread her sunshine and love in her new home.

The pattern contains contains over 100 pages of detailed pattern and photo tutorials :)

All our love,

Ness and Monika
