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!
