My two girls are heading to a Masterchef birthday party tomorrow and the birthday girl is saving to buy herself an Ipod touch so I thought I would make her a little case to keep her new gadget in. It was super quick to make and a great tutorial to follow. I'll give her a bit of money as well in her card but thought I might make her some sweet bows and a couple of these crochet hair scrunchies. The bow was pretty quick to crochet and would also be a great Christmas present idea too I think!
On Sunday it's my sister-in-laws baby shower so I wanted to add a couple of little things to the blanket I crocheted. I firstly finished off the last of the journals I started back here. I then made a simple solid granny wash cloth using some Sugar and Cream cotton I bought from here. And since I had bought some pretty fabric a while ago to make her booties but haven't gotten around to it making them yet I decided to make a bib using the fabric. I first saw the bib pattern here and followed the link to The Perl Bee and sewed one up. I wish that I was more of a sewer when my two were little, handmade bibs are pretty sweet.
Have you got many plans for the weekend? I hope that you have some beautiful weather to enjoy and have lots of fun times.
See you tomorrow:)
P.S. I'm sorry for not popping by your lovely blogs lately but I will be sure to stop by this weekend:)
Youve made some lovely gifts there Catherine, im sure they will be much loved and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
You have been a busy bee Catherine! Love your idea of the iPod touch cover as a prezzie. I'm always so inspired by your creations. Hope you enjoy the baby shower on the weekend - we don't have a lot planned so I'm hoping to do some baking tomorrow x
ReplyDeletebeautiful ideas and gifts Catherine...i love the fabric on the bib.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely and thoughtful gifts. I particularly love the bib - I'll have to check out that pattern. I'm just learning how to use a sewing machine so I'm looking for some small projects to get me started.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine I totally agree with what you say about Bibs and am in the same boat wishing I sewed or was even aware of the gorgeous array of handmade original items available.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gifts. How much fun would a MasterChef party be?? What age bracket is that?? My eldest 3 are starting to cook now, mercy, i'm a terrible dinner maker. Enjoy the baby shower, sounds beautiful, love Posie
