Making Ginger's homemade birthday presents is on my mind today; we a trying to ensure most of what she will receive from us is homemade. I want the day to be special, to say "we are so glad you came to join us". Less than two months to go - I can't believe she is has been with us for ten and half months!
With DH out field this week I have made quite a lot of progress.....most of the bunting is cut out (if not sewn), her doll's quilt is made and so is a steiner baby doll (following instructions from this book). I have tried to use stash materials as much as possible, but had to buy fabric for her bunting - fortunately Lincraft is having a 50% off fabric sale. The wool stuffing for the doll I was given by the owner of our local sheepskin product shop. He gave me offcuts from his chair covers - so kind and I had just enough to fill the doll.
Still in the works are a birthday crown, some hanging decorations, the sheets and pillowcase for her (yet to be) restored $9 thrifted doll's cot - her Daddy is in charge of the cot itself and a Daddy-made play kitchen.
Sounds like a wonderful birthday is in the works. SO much love in every gift!
ReplyDeleteSounds beautiful, and the doll is *adorable*
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute doll - looks like the perfect huggable style for a baby too.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a beautiful job, my dear. I love the Steiner toys. What a beautiful display of love for your child to make it all. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI just made my first little bear and now I can really appreciate this sorts of crafts. My little one is very simple. I will have to come back and see what you are doing!
