BABY BITS AND PARCELS...

I have made odd baby bits for people in the past, but I have wanted to do a full co-ordinating baby range for a while now.. 

I have started putting things together, firstly this nappy and wipe holder (I have been trying to think of a better name, but have not come up with anything yet, so any ideas would be welcome)..

It is the perfect size for carrying a packet of wipes and a couple of nappies when you are past the big nappy bag stage, it can just be popped into your everyday bag..

Next, co-ordinating bibs...

I intend to make a larger changing bag, changing mats and burp clothes.. for both girls and boys ..

I have received two swap parcels this week, the first was for the Red Gingham  apron swap, I was partnered with Megan at Team Reddick..

Megan put a lovely card in with the apron with a note about the fabrics, the main fabric was left over from a dress her Nana made for Megan when she was a baby and the fabric used for the ties and pockets was left over from a baby quilt Megan made when she was first engaged to her husband and which was used as a crib blanket for her first son....the thought and story of the fabrics made this seem like a very special apron indeed...So thank you very much Megan, I really appreciate what you made for me..  I hope that you like your apron just as much, when it eventually arrives that is !..

My second parcel was for the fairytale swap organised by Vanessa at Hapi-ness, I was partnered with Beverley from Miss Creativity and she chose to send me a parcel based on Cinderella and Mother Goose..

A lovely parcel of fabric, ribbon, stickers, seeds and best of all these great rubber gloves that just make me want to smile...

Washing up will never be a chore again with these beauties upon my hands...

I had no sooner stopped admiring said rubber gloves and left the room for two minutes, when returning found two little people had swiped them..

I don't think so girls !..

I big thank you Beverley, I have just about finished yours which should be with you early next week..
