Announcement Treat 2 - Dark Choc Wagon Wheel Pops

 We shared our baby news at my workplace today and was met with lots of joy and excitement

(and even a few tears - I feel so touched!).

We all celebrated with a Choc Pop!

Little Wooly From Nana Part1

 

My MIL sent us some woollen material to make into a baby blanket. I couldn't find suitable satin bias so I made my own in a nice chocolate brown (we don't know if bub's a girl or a boy yet). This is stage one of blankie construction - I'm thinking of adding some applique or embroidery later on as well.  

Announcement Treat 1 - Cookie Onesies

  

Yes - we are going to be parents!

These are the cookie onesies that I made for friends when we announced our big baby news at my birthday brunch. There were lots of cheers and hugs! I was absolutely beaming that day. It was great to be around so many supportive friends!

Bear Blanky

My very first quilting project!

I made this quilt from a pattern kit I bought while on retreat with the girls.

It's so nice and soft and cuddly!

Pay It Forward, The Crafty Way

Last January I replied to a post from one of my friends agreeing to receive one of her crafty handicrafts and paying it forward to five people who responds to my repost. It's now September and they're finally finished! I crocheted five red brooches for my five while I was at the girls' weekend spa retreat and about ready to wrap and send! :)

Fathers' Day Caramel Mud Cupcakes

Mmm, caramel mudcake cupcakes for Father's Day.

They were a hit at Popz's dinner tonight. :)
