taggy chicken, delicious baby apparel and yet more unfinished business

Finally finished the taggy chicken in a flourish of activity last week....

Once I've worked out how I will post a pattern to download.

Dropped into my fav shop yesterday Parma Violet in Kirkby Lonsdale and bought my first (new) baby piece of clothing made by Organics for Kids. I rather indulged a little as so far I been tring to make, use charity shops and hand me downs and so I figured the money I'd saved could be spent on more expensive deliciousness

I love the idea of nightgowns rather than a sleepsuit, all snuggled in but room to wriggle about and if the party going on in my tummy at various times of the day and night is anything to go by then Lily Rose will like a good kick about!!

I have also started another couple of bits(just to add to the 50 half finished projects already waiting in the wings) a rose square blanket to match the colours of the room and a quilt which was orginally going to be the blind for the nursery but didn't cut enough squares....and note to self 'I am NOT starting any more projects til all these are finished' so the floral union jack cushions will have to wait!!!

 

then there is the nursery....see I have made some progress! I am determined to get stuck in this afternoon after I've had my sock knitting heel lesson before bump grows far too big to do anything slightly creative other than knit & sew.....
