Gifts for baby

Good Evening Lovely Readers and a HUGE welcome to my new followers - how utterly wonderful it is to see my little blog growing almost daily. You are all so welcome and thank you for joining me.

I recently asked your advice on what I should make for my beautiful new niece. So many wonderful ideas and I have stashed some of them away for longer term projects. Grace at http://oldpolicehouse.blogspot.co.uk/ suggested a ribbon blankie and here is my effort...... what do you think?






I made both sides with fleece because I wanted it to be really soft and tactile and I chose ribbons in lots of bright colours.








Now for a little cardi - I know that traditionally it's pink for girls, but I just love blue and dressed my own daughter in it a lot of the time.

 I added little crocheted hearts onto the pockets for a girlie touch.... The yarn is beautifully soft and I am sure it will be lovely to wear.




Finally (for now anyway) .... a little box...


Want a peek?


Little booties ......


also in blue......



so I shall parcel these up and send them off to the little angel xxx

  3. The little ribbon blankie is lovely as of course are the cardigan and bootees.
