Baby Shower

We had a blast at my little sister - Erin's, baby shower on the weekend. I made these soft little rattles to decorate her nappy cake. They're meant to be giraffes but I think they look more like sea horses. When I was looking for an online template I found some gorgeous rattles from Lotta Jansdotta's book "Simple Sewing for Baby". Unfortunately I had left it to the last minute and didn't have time to buy the book, so I had to make up my own template for these ones.


I used some beautiful gender neutral fabrics from Umbrella Prints as we don't know the sex of the baby.


Speaking of Umbrella Prints, they have a beautiful new range of organic quilting weight fabric called Elephants Love Water! I can't decide which is my favourite  - I love them all, and I also like the fact that they are 150cm wide.


Amelia made this absolutely gorgeous, handquilted wallhanging. I wish I had a better photo.


I'm so excited that I'm going to have a little niece or nephew just around the corner to huggle and snuggle...


because my little one isn't a baby anymore.
