I'm also currently working on a pram cosytoes, carseat footmuff, curtains for the 3 bedrooms, a letter pillow (she will be called Jessica so Im doing a J), a lighter quilt she can snuggle under on the couch with daddy when she's a bit older.

I've also done a few cardies and an alphabet blanket (its white, just looks yellow!):

I love the pram toy - is that from a pattern or one you've made entirely yourself?

Came up with the pram toy design myself. I had a few fat quarters of fabric in different coloured polka dot prints and I thought it might be quite eye catching for baby! Your quilt/play mat is gorgeous!

What did you use to attach it to the pram? I've got some spare fabric so might have a go myself!

I wish i was clever enough to make the pram toy, would love to do one with little birds or something on it...

Here are my flower balls and Darcy's name on her wall

I have just sewn ribbon into the ends so that I can tie it on. You could use velcro or some sort of clip perhaps? I just went with what I had in my sewing box.

Your flower balls are sooo pretty! They look really effective!

They only took an afternoon to make as well and so cheap. The polystyrene balls are about 40p each from hobby craft and then bought a flower stamper and some pretty paper and some bridal pins and off i went.

Getting them hung up perfectly was a trauma. Trying to explain to OH that they can't all hang at the same length in a line was hilarious bless him lol. Though he has now decided that he loves them. It took about an hour to get them up onto the wall. And then once they were up i got him to climb back up and stick bows onto the knots so you couldn't see the knots haha.

The deciding factor was telling him i'd climb up and do it whilst he's at work today if they weren't up and he's scared i'd fall over lol.

always a good way of getting them to do something! The garden desperately needed doing, but it took me heading out there with a spade and pitch fork and beginning to weed the beds to spur DH into action!
