Catch up on crafts

Pebble has sleeping fairly well and enjoys having with my hubby on the rocking chair in the evenings so this has given me some time for crafting again. 

I made some rainbow coloured crocheted coasters for my friend who's recently moved house then decided to do some for us. Then having done that I decided to make some placemats too! 

I made some dinosaur spikes and sewed then onto a hoodie for my husband 

My husband loved dinosaurs as a boy and has made the decision that Nemo will also love them! 
Funnily enough on the weekend to celebrate my Mother in Laws birthday we met up with Hubby's brother, wife and Mother at West Midlands Safari Park. It has a dinosaur section opened now with all these animatronic dinosaurs. It was really fun and Nemo's Uncle and Aunt went to buy something for Nemo. When Nemo was asked to pick a toy he picked up and cuddled three teddies before settling on this one:

I made this t shirt for my brother in law 

Inspired by the old classic song (YouTube it if you've never heard of it it's really funny!) 

I've made some baby booties 
 
Made a dibble bib (I just love the fabric!) 

And made this elephant teddy for Pebble

I'm really happy with the elephant which took a bit of getting the hang of (the pattern was Australian and used different abbreviations). The stripes and the legs are a little wonky but hopefully Pebble won't mind :) 

So that's what I've been up to (when not chasing after Nemo, Pebble or Poppy!) 

Just trying to decide what to do next..... 

Guess who's back? (With an extra baby!)

So I know it's been forever since my last blog. Working pregnancy, caring for Nemo then having Pebble has kept me busy!  Life felt pretty stressful at the end of my pregnancy, work was unbelievably stressful and there were some complications at the end of the pregnancy. 
Pebble was born in January so is almost 4 months old now. We were very fortunate that she arrived safely and is healthy (9lb 8oz!) I feel very happy and feel that life is returning to relative normality now! 

Pebble less then 24 hours old :) 

She is so cute and beautiful!

Nemo absolutely loves his little sister he is besotted with her and says her name all the time! They're getting a lovely bond 

Nemo also likes to share his toys with Pebble

So anyway I'm making my return to blogging and have been busy crafting so looking forward to sharing my makes with you all!
