Baby needed mending

Our daughter has a favourite cuddly toy. She named her 'Baby'

We think Miss Y believes Baby is real 

The way she gives her cuddles, bucket loads of kisses and talks to her


Miss Y has had Baby for just over 3 years

They first met when we adopted Miss Y


As you can tell she has been loved immensely during this time


Baby has had many bubble baths 

in the washing machine (using a laundry bag)


Drying takes such a long time for our 4 1/2 year old


A few months ago, I searched the internet trying to source a brand new one

Hard to find and now they are expensive


It was time for Baby to visit Squeeze Cuddles Hospital


The fabric on her dress is thinning out

Some stains I have not been able to remove


I have mended some of the kids toys

however, 

extra care was needed for Baby

as she is so precious to our daughter


Beautiful crochet basket is from Katia at Plushka's Craft


Delicate stitching near her eyes


Miss Y was {giggling with excitement} when Baby was feeling better

She received an instant kiss and squeeze cuddles

Plus, 'Thank you Omma (Mum)'


Gleefully ran off to the lounge room to snuggle

under her quilt ~ handmade by Halmeoni (Grandmother)

Precious moments!


Have you mended any of your children's favourite cuddly toys?

Some things I love

I would like to share some things I love


My new geranium plants I potted up





I love the colours. I love having some flowers in our garden again!

I look forward to when they are covered in blossoms

I have positioned them so I can look from our kitchen, 
passed the lounge room and see them through the window


Recently, I received some handmade products 
I purchased from some lovely ladies

* Katia from Plushka's Craft

Crochet baskets. Great for storing my cotton reels

I love the colours and texture. They are Beautiful! 


* Jelaine from Little Alligator

Mini drawstring bags. Great for storing my crafting tools

I love the fabric prints. They're such versatile bags!








Giant peek-a-boo drawstring bag

Great for storing my crochet stripe blanket and cotton yarn


(I needed a larger bag, as my normal sized Little Alligator
bag was now too small)




This is the perfect size for my growing blanket. . .



(Pepper the Owl, is from Margot at Lolli and Bean)

Katia and Jelaine's handmade creations are beautifully handcrafted

I highly recommend you visit their shops (Katia is on maternity leave. Awaiting the arrival of their firstborn child. Exciting times ahead!)

I have almost finished my crochet stripe blanket. Yay!!
I am doing the border
