Wired Up Designs



I bought some patterns recently from Wired Up designs
The Hot Mama Diaper bag and the Sweet baby soaker. I'm really impressed with both patterns :) and will be stalking the store for any new patterns :) Great patterns and great service too. The nappy bag is wonderful!

Preparing for Baby



I made myself a nursing pillow using the instructions from Sleeping Baby I made the cushion out of calico and the stuffing came from some old pillows. I also made a cover, in which I added a lapped zipper. Next time I get to Spotlight I'll look for some nice Minkie to make an extra cover.



I also made myself a poncho for breast feeding. I made it from a sheer fabric. I'll be able to see baby for latching and baby can see me. The pattern of the fabric will provide both of us with some privacy. I thought a poncho would be easier to manage than the blanket I usually use when Breastfeeding in public. And because it is so light it rolls up tight and won't take up too much room in the nappy bag.

In the Mail today - Kitchen Cool Swap and Sock Club



I got a great swap today :) With a wool hot pad and an applique one too. And two dishcloths which had a HP theme to them. My Swapper writes they are for Peter who is a Harry Potter fane :) I hope they encourage him to do the dishes :)

Thankyou swapper ... and I think I can guess who you are.... will have to go post my thank you now on Woolaholics and see if I guessed right!


And my 3rd installment of the sock club yarn :)
