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!

step by step:

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. :)

Iain's Naming Day Invites

I made these invites for my little godson-to-be, Iain.

I'll post the matching cake in a few week's time :)

Knitted Dress

I saw this pattern on the Spotlight website and thought I'd give it a go as it looked easy enough.

It's my very first knitted baby item! It took a while but it got there in the end.

So proud of the accomplishment!

Little Reversible Shoes

The birth of my nephew Miguel inspired me to make these teensy tiny reversible shoes.

(the top pink ones reverse into eachother and the bottom blue ones do the same).
Once I started I couldn't seem to stop so have also made the ones below.
