Happy Valentines Day

A valentine from Bea to her daddy - made with love.

Nesting

I'm thinking about projects for the new baby. I think I will hold off starting anything until we know if we are expecting a boy or girl (only 3 and a half weeks to go!) but whatever the gender I would love to make a ripply blanket inspired by this one from Attic24 and she luckily has a ripple tutorial I can use too.

My blog absence

Its been a long time since I last posted properly on here. But it wasn't my fault, it was this little person's fault! As with my first pregnancy I have spent the last 3 months throwing up and not being able to do much else but now at nearly 15 weeks I am beginning to be able to function again and will hopefully be posting regularly again!

There hasn't been much going on around here to share. I did make aprons as Christmas gifts this year (just before the sickness kicked in) but didn't manage to photograph them. The shop is also in serious need of a restock so I will be working on more cats and a brand new product soon. So instead I just have to mention the most beautiful sewing pattern shop I have just come across. C'est Dimanche makes me want to get the sewing machine back out right now with their range of french style patterns for babies and children. They also sell lovely fabric and other bits and bobs. I just can't decide what to make first!

Little Sale

Having a little sale in my shop - there is currently 10% off prints

Christening invitations

I recently designed and made some christening invitations for a friend of my sister. She is christening her son and daughter at the same time so they needed to be unisex. They are printed onto a pearlised paper which I think is perfect for invitations.

Christmas is coming

I always mean to be organised with christmas - its at the same time every year so it shouldn't really come as such a suprise but it just seems to appear from nowhere and I find that I'm not really ready. So this week I have started on a few handmade gifts I have had the idea of for ages. Hoping it will get me started thinking about christmas!

And speaking of christmas, I am offering free christmas gift wrapping on all the items in my shop in the run up to the big day!

Finally! Something new and its not alphabet blocks!

Well, there are blocks involved but no alphabets! I have just added two new items to my etsy shop:

A new one of a kind cat toy. This one is called Henry.

And a new set of blocks. This is a set of two with mix and match animal illustrations. Both of these items are priced at only £10 so great for stocking fillers this christmas!

Christmas anyone?

I was thrilled to be recently included in bloesem kids baby christmas gift guide. I love pretty much everything else in the guide as well - so looks like I'm in good company!

Reminds me I should start thinking about christmas...

Percy's new accessory

I know everything seems to be all about blocks lately - but that's because I'm making a lot of blocks!

I had the pleasure of making a special block to go with Percy the cat to make a lovely new baby gift set.

And a set of personalised name blocks for Emma:

Its a good job I love making these blocks (apart from the sanding bit - thats a bit boring).

Blocks galore

I've been working on three custom block orders this week, all for 1st birthday gifts. Happy birthday Felix, Poppy and Elsie!
