Baby Crafts and Nursery


The Nursing chair is recovered in Cath Kidston material, with a little heart shaped cushion for extra comfort


I knit some Debbie Bliss fair trade organic eco cotton wash cloths and some women at my work made the pink basket to hold all the little necessaries.


I thought the Bugaboo needed a bit of lace....


Mel's girlfriends brought her this little elephant, among other gifts, at the Baby Shower.




We found this little pony head (it makes horsey sounds) at the local Joules store in Henley.



A bit of history, the Silvercross, a traditonal English and Irish pram much loved by Grannies and those of us (almost Grannies) old enough to remember them.






Another baby quilt work in progress, this one for the car seat.







The cot is ready, cosy and inviting.




The wardrobe full of gifts, family treasures and must haves.






Everything ready and waiting for this little girl, who like her mother and aunty will arrive when she is ready (Mel was 19 days overdue, Leiny was four).
More news when she arrives.
Big Hugs,
Margie

Dear Margie,
I´m waiting with you for this little wonder that will come... :)
Anyway she´ll be surrounded with many nice things, made with love!
I´m still quite absent from bloggerland these times, since we´re so busy with the works in and around our house, but all will be ok in the end.
I hope you´re doing well. All the best and a happy Summertime to all of you!
Best regards, love, Marjolijn

PS. I´m wearing that pretty KC-apron you sent me last year every time when cooking... it brings a fresh note into all dust and rubbish here!! :D

I so look forward to hearing your good news! Everything looks so cheerful and sweet! My Mom had nearly the exact carriage for my brother and I when we were babies... my SIL is borrowing it for the newest member of the family right now. ;)
