Pink Cotton Quilt

I had a call from a lady that sells quilted bedcovers 

and she knows the colours I like.

The saleslady told me that she found a few and was keeping them for me.

I was over the moon to find out they were pink!

They are made from 100% cotton even the wadding..

I know these pouches are in the way from 

taking a good look at the cover..

just look around them!

Did I mention that the pillowcases are super cute too!

and look at the back of the quilt... it has stripes!

The same lady sells crocheted pillow cases too, I will 

add some lace to the borders and a few bows to make it 

stand out!

I love the lace panel on this baby pouch.

I hope your days are filled with treasures.

Old Wives Tales..

How many times during one's pregnancy have they 

predicted if it is going to be a baby girl or baby boy..

If the mother is more graceful throughout her pregnancy,

she is having a girl. 

If she is clumsy, she is having a boy...

Oh! I like this one..

Do you feel your nose is growing and getting wider?

If so, you might be getting a boy. 

If you are craving for salty foods while pregnant

you can count on having a boy.

If you crave sweets, fruits and orange juice, 

you are having a little girl..

You can find more Old Wives Tales here.

This Moses basket is ready for either.

This Moses basket is quite popular, I have a drawing

of it by Jennelise Rose and I found an embroidery

by Elina Partu of it.

It is great to see that some expecting parents still like 

to be surprised at birth.

We didn't know the sex of my babies until the birth,

we have three lovely girls.

I had to get this baby pouch out of my system,

I bought a bag full of one yard lace samples,

they are so pretty, I used them on this pouch

and soon I will use them on the front panel of a 

baby-gown.

I also made this new baby blanket.

On the inside I used pure soft cotton and on the outside 

layers of lace.

For my next baby bed I bought this wonderful 

pink lace, perfect for a canopy.

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Rose Boudoir Seat

After my holiday, it's back to work again and because 

most of my creations were posted by a kind lady

onto 'Instagram' I am fully booked until September...

Most requests are for these baby nests,

so I have to warn you from now

my posts are going to be quite repetitive...

I found this great waterproof liner covered with 

cotton flannel,

which is perfect to keep the baby-nest from stains.

I also received an order for this cute boudoir seat.

This is the sample cushion I had to match

the chair with;

it is part of a complete bedroom set.

                                                   I used light pink silk for the top and 

                                                       light green cotton for the skirt.

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Wonderful France

We are back from a refreshing holiday in France.

This time we spend a week in Aquitaine region,

a two hours drive from Toulouse.

We stayed for seven days and it rained for 

most of it...

I love the rain!

The house we rented was amazing!

If you need a large house to have four families 

get together, this is it..

The house sits on 17 acres of private land,

with beautiful flowers and fruit trees.

My sweet grand-daughters are growing up so fast.

We see them about two times a year and the changes 

at this age is really amazing.

Eloise is now two years old.

Anais is four years old.

She loves stories and is great at drawing pictures.

I can't wait for them to come over and stay for their 

summer vacation.

I found this stall at the market and couldn't

resist buying a few meters of wonderful fabrics.

Au revoir France, I miss you already...

I hope you have a great week.

Bisous!

Sweet Wrought Iron Baby Bed

I have a long 'to do list' before traveling

on Friday night..

Yay! we're off to France and this time 

destination.. Toulouse. It will be our first time to 

this city and this year we are going a bit earlier.

We usually go to the provence area in high summer

and it is too hot for my liking, Dubai is hot enough!

Today I finished this sweet iron baby bed,

I used 'antique white silk' with rose silk bows.

I love this lace covered curtain.

I made a matching baby pouch.

The little oval decoration looks like a cameo.

I am pleased that the supermarket downstairs 

 started selling flowers for a good price and 

they last at least a week!

I hope you have a great week.

Baby Boy Shower Favours

Today I finished making these cute pocket-tissue holders.

I used golden beige silk material with three layers of lace.

I was wondering why they call it baby shower...

In Victorian times they would hide gifts in a parasol,

then when opened it would 'shower' gifts 

 for the bride-to-be.

I hope it was paper money or jewelry... 

These days the mother-to-be also gets showered with gifts.

I just love my new material.

 I will use it to make table-covers, it is too fine and delicate

for a bed-cover.

This baby-pillow is a perfect match!

I hope you have a wonderful week.
