A lot of snow and a teeny tiny hat!

What a week, it started like this

Blizzard like conditions...

followed by glorious sunshine!
which was tricky, especially since my husband took my snow tyres off last week... A 7min drive to school took 1hr 30mins and lots of digging when the car got stuck.

The kids had fun though!

Day 3 when the snow was melting so perfect for snowman making!

 The week has ended with a trip up north to collect a piano and hen house from my uncle's house.

  
3 hours in the car called for some crochet so I made a teeny tiny hat for my Nephew who is due to arrive in July!


I used this pattern and it was very easy and quick. I also made a tablet (ipad like thingy not vitamins!) cosy but more on that when I get  a photo of it!

Simple but cute baby gifts

Two of my best friends had beautiful baby girls last week, one a day late the other a week early. How come no one has babies for ages then 2 come together!

Since new babies are lavished with gifts I always try and do handmade, at least they will only get one of the things I give them!

I always make personalised t-shirts / vests for a new sibling



and since one of the babies is a first she got a geeky vest,


her Mum and I studied physics together at uni. I have seen these vests all over the place but refused to pay the £10 for something I could make for £1!

I also crocheted each baby a simple hat (using this video tutorial), it is supposed to be newborn size, I feel for any woman who has given birth to a baby with a head that size...!




Then to complete the gifts 2 personalised cards using gorgeous Penny Black rubber stamps.




On a totally random note, we have sold our house and have to be out by the 16th December (eek) and this is my 100th post!
