Lentil's Impending Arrival

Hi y'all!
I thought (seeing as it's only about 2 weeks away! OMG!) that I would share a little of the Lentil happenings before he/she is born!

This was taken last week at almost week 36, when Lentil provided me with the best shelf for my Town & Country Pyrex bowl, holding a fruit salad! {giggles}. Lentil is sitting much further out the front than Jaimeson did, and quite up high too, so I had lots of people at my niece Venice's Christening on the day before, say to me "Are you SURE you have 4 weeks to go?" "Are you SURE it's not twins?" Can I just tell you people, you might think it's a joke and you're being the funniest person around, but to the person on the receiving end, who has heard the same joke over and over again, from lots of different people on the one day.... IT AIN'T FUNNY! You try carrying around a 15kg lump tied to your front and run after a toddler all day! I'm tired!! My sense of humour is waning! {sigh!}. Anyway, I thought I would take advantage of Lentil's big bump to have a hands-free afternoon tea. LOL! Thanks Lentil!
The following day I had an Ultrasound to check on Lentil's growth because of my Type 1 Diabetes. (Also another reason I am sensitive when told I look massive, cos I spend so much time trying to adjust my insulin to my food intake and increasing hormones during pregnancy, to ensure Lentil doesn't get too big! I don't like being told I am massive, cos that means baby could be massive and I am failing at my job!)
The Sonographer took the measurements 3 times, and it looked as though Lentil was measuring average for 39 weeks instead of 36 weeks, e.g. in the 98th percentile for 36wks. This was despite measuring on the 50th percentile at my last ultrasound 3 weeks before. How could it have grown so much in 3 weeks?! My sugars had been quite stable, it was quite a shock. So when I got home, I had a little cry. What had I done to cause such a hugh increase in size for poor little Lentil, in such a short timeframe? They estimated Lentil to be about 3.4kg already (give or take 500g- which does seem like a lot on such a small weight!) and Jaimeson was born at 3.56kg at 39+2wks!
So I decided it was time I made Lentil's bed, all ready for him/her, just in case at my Antenatal Appt the next day they said it was getting too big and I had to be induced. I had all these wild thoughts about having the baby this week and I wasn't prepared (more tears {sob!}) I made Lentil's bed (a vintage cot, the same style as the one I used to sleep in when I was a baby), with vintage yellow hand-painted rabbit sheets that Mum made for us girls & the gorgeous bright Woodland pram cover/light quilt with cool green chevron backing that Mum made for Lentil. Also in the cot is a Frog rattle that I bought for the next baby when we were in Hawaii last year (who would have thought the "next baby" would be almost here already!), the elephant softie I made for Lentil, and the cool Bon Jovi flat mouse toy Felicity bought for Lentil. So cute!!
The next day was my Antenatal Appt, and when I finally got in to seeing the Doctors, it was my favourite Dr and the head Gyno that I got to see. Oh how happy I was to see Dr Jenkins! When he had a look at the ultrasound result, he was so non-phased & calm & cool about it! He said Lentil was quite tall, cos he/she has a long femur measurement, but normal head circumference but was "a little bit fat". So Lentil is getting a bit too much sugar, but not astronomically or damagingly so. Estimated birth weight is about 4kg, and they still wont look at inducing until at least 38wks. Boy that made me happy to hear! He really put my mind at ease, and I am just trying to rein in my sugar levels even tighter now, so Lentil doesn't continue on this massive growth spurt!
So that's the recent update on Lentil, only about 2 weeks (or less! {gasp!}) to go! Wish me all the best, and send me good birthing vibes!

It's the "Dollar Day!"

Well, it wasn't really Dollar Day at the Op Shops when I found this haul, but it may as well have been! Will and I headed out to some new Op Shops I hadn't visited before- Salvos at Belmore and a tiny Uniting Church Op Shop at Penshurst and I came away with some bargains!

 The Tea Cups and plate were $1.50 and 50c respectively. I didn't know that until we got to the counter and they told me the homewares were all 50% off. I do pick the best days to visit Salvos! I just LOVE the cups and saucers, so retro with those pretty blue flowers!

And I think I have a new found love for Japanese stoneware plates. I loved this one with strawberries on it! It's a great size for me to have a piece of cake on for arvo tea {wink!} And they are fairly indestructable, so I'm happy to have it in general circulation at our house.
The orange Pyrex mug I spotted at the Uniting op shop as we parked the car. I could spot it a mile off! Well, I spotted it in the cluttered window, which was set back from the road, and in shadows, as I sat with my face pressed against the car window cos I couldn't wait long enough for Will to park the car! I must have had my "Pyrex Eyes" on!! It was $1. Can't complain there!
Then I found these 3 sweet little deer statues for $1 each! The lovely shop assistant said they had belonged to her. Thank you for giving them up! You know I love Woodland! So they are happily prancing between the dishes of my Pyrex Shelves now. {smiles}

 Have you been Opping lately? I managed to visit the same Salvos at Lidcombe 3 times in 4 days. I wasn't planning on it, it just happened that way. And I still found stuff to buy every time! And I found an orange oval pyrex dish on the 3rd visit that I hadn't seen on the previous 2 visits, and it had been there, cos they helpfully have the date received on the price sticker at our Salvos, and it had been there since the beginning of June! See, it pays off to visit, and re-visit, cos you never know what you'll find!
I did have a giggle at this post by the Joyful Treasure Hunting because she's so right! She has great tips on how to be a good Thrifter :)

Vintage Finds

Hi y'all!
I gathered up some of my recent Vintage Finds to share with you!
I found these sweet little statues just after Christmas. The mouse came from Salvos at Sutherland and cost me an arm and a leg, it was 50c. LOL {belly laugh!} You know how I love all things Woodland, well he'll go on Jaimeson's Woodland shelf in our bedroom. He's so sweet and reminds me of a Beatrix Potter-esque Mouse! The squirrels are actually an Ash Tray and I got it at Vinnies in Wollongong while shopping with Mum, Yvette and Tassy. "It's an ASH TRAY" Said Mum! Well, not for me Mum, maybe I can put jewellry in it's little indent on the top. It was marked as $12 but the nice man at the counter gave it to me for $1. Can't argue with that!
Then I got this awesome silver frame at Salvos at Merrylands! Some Salvos I visit have the date on the price tag, which is really interesting! I love to see how long (or short) things have lasted in store! I bought this on the first day open after the New Year's Long Weekend, and it was marked 31/12, so it hadn't sat on the shelf for long! It was marked $5 but they were having 50% off frames, so $2.50 it was! Awesome {chest slam!}
And finally, this awesomely Retro Staffordshire Pottery Cup, Saucer and Plate set. It was in the windows at Vinnies Riverwood, and I had admired it and when I layed down my other retro treasures ready to buy, the sweet man behind the counter said "You like Retro do you? Well, do you like that tea set? It's been in the window for a while so if you like it you can have it for $6." WOW! It was originally $12, and I DO love it, though it means I could host a tea party for all the heaven full of angels at this rate, and I probably didn't need another tea set! I bought it. Wouldn't you have?

Ps I'm linking up with Her Library Adventures- come see what other awesome vintage treasures were found!

Bloggy Advent Calendar DAY 13

Hi y'all!
It's no secret that I have a tiny {arms stretched out wide} love for all things Woodland! When I was pregnant I knew I wanted a Woodland themed Baby Shower and it turned out so beautifully! I have actually had this glass Mushroom ornament for a few years but when I got it out to hang on the tree it reminded me of Peabody's Baby Shower and how beautiful it was! Did you know my Mum and sisters are Top Rate when it comes to throwing a party? That Alicia's house is just the most beautiful intimate party venue, and when it comes to food and decor, Mum, Yvette, Alicia and Felicity just can't be beaten! {chest bumps for the team} Here is a little pic to remind you of how beautiful the food table was! Look at all that Woodland-styled food! Mini cinnamon acorn cakes, a chocolate birds nest, mini lemon meringue tarts, chocolate chunk cookies, rocky road, caramel popcorn in paper doily cones, mini chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and sugar leaves! Sooo sweet! {licking lips} And I got to put my owl collection to good use too! LOL!
Sweet Holidays!

A Woodland Page

Do you know how many comments I get on the absolutely GORGEOUS pram cover Mum made for Jaimeson? EVERY time I go out with the pram someone tells me how beautiful it is and that I have a very talented Mum for making it! And I agree, I LOVE it! Mum made it for Peabody and gave it to me at my Baby Shower, and cos we didn't know if Peabody would be a boy or girl then it is very neutral but still Woodlandy, which I love! Look how super tiny Jai is in the pram! These pics are from only his second day at home, when he was 2.5 days old (yes, we were discharged when he was only 1.5 days old!! OMG! Not prepared!)
I wanted to do a "Milly Molly Mandy"-esque map of where we walked, cos I loved those books when I was young and especially loved the map in the beginning of each book that would have just slightly changed from the last book! {memories...} I had fun drawing the map and thinking of things to include on it! The gnome and owl stickers are Martha Stewart that I got in Washington DC {name dropping} and the little bears tag is off one of my fave 0000 suits of Jai's from Carters in Hawaii {more name dropping!} It was fun to be able to re-use the tag, cos I love those sweet little bears!
And to finish... Ohhhh! Who let Jaimeson have the remote?? Now we have to watch what he wants to watch! D'oh {wink!} Look how excited those arms and legs are, to be in charge of the TV! He just cant keep them still! LOL!

A Woodland Page

Hi Y'all!
I have a gorgeous set of 3 woodland envelopes that my sister Yvette made out of an old Children's picture book. I just love the woodland animals on them (well, this is a pretty funny woodland cos it includes Donkeys and Pelicans!) and I knew this one would be a perfect embellishment for a page of Jaimeson!
These sweet pics are from the very first day we brought Jai home. Oh he was such a tiny wee boy! We didn't know what to do with him so we just laid him on the bed while he slept and I ended up having a nap (more like a fully "lights out" deep sleep cos I was so tired!) beside him. Will kept coming in really close to look into Jai's face and to make sure he was still breathing {paranoia!}- something which Will still does now and then when Jai is sleeping quietly!
Yvette also gave me the funky Woodland ribbon above the pics which I just love! The little squirrel crossing sticker is by Martha Stewart and I bought it in Washington DC on our honeymoon (name dropping!!). The cloud journal spot is by Sassafras Lass and is the second last sticker on the sheet. OMG!! I never seem to finish packets of scrapping stuff, and now I'm only one sticker away from finishing that packet, Hooray! {patting self on back!}
I hope you had a good weekend! We went for a drive to The Entrance yesterday and Will did a spot of fishing while Jai and I relaxed on a rug in the sun! Yay for relaxing weekends!
:) C
And for the Jaimeson pic today I have a self-taken family portrait in our Pyjamas! LOL! Nothing beats the self-taken pic. I think Will and I have about 10000000000 self taken pics! Especially from our trips Overseas. I'm quite the expert at taking them too! There's an art to not cutting people's heads off! LOL!

WWJW Week 5

Hi y'all!
I'm enjoying some lovely cuddles from Jai right now- I'm so lucky!!
Today Will, Jai & I went to Sizzler for lunch! How long has it been since you had Sizzler's delicious cheesy bread? Yonks? Well I'll tell u a secret- Woolies sell "Pan Bread" in with the garlic breads & it's exactly the same! But I still enjoyed plate fulls of my fave Sizzler Potato skins. Yum! Jai was looking super cute in his outfit too :)



Bodysuit: Osh Kosh B'gosh
Trackies: Kmart
Socks: Baby Gap

So Sweet!

I know I'm biased, but Jaimeson is such a sweetie! I love his chubby cheeks and little chin! He now has looong eyelashes (which used to be always stuck against his eyelid but all of a sudden sprung out!) and has so many facial expressions! He chats away to you with his "A-Goo's" and gives lots and lots of smiles. Especially when he sees Daddy. He had lots of fun at Granny and Papa's this week, though Mum said Dad hogged the cuddles a bit! {giggles} I think Dad enjoyed the excuse of "I'll just rest my eyes while Jaimeson sleeps here against my chest!" LOL!
He has grown so much since this little photo shoot Yvette and I did at Mum and Dad's when he was only 17 days old. I don't think he'd fit in the pomegranate box anymore! Do you like the "ticket" that is stamped with "Lullaby & Goodnight"? It's the back side of a Galaxy World ticket! You know when you play the games at Galaxy World and it spits out the tickets but you always have some left over after redeeming them for some crappy prize (or in my case I once got a Milkshake maker and toasted sandwich maker! Yes, I used to play pretty often!) I keep finding little wads of Galaxy World tickets around in my stuff and they have a plain grey back which is awesome to stamp on! I've made some boy cards with the stamped ticket on them too. Sweet! Using up non-traditional craft stuff from my junk stash, as well as my normal craft stash! The fantastic Woodgrain brown sticky tape I got at Paper Source in Washington DC on our Honeymoon, this is the first time I've used it! I have to remind myself I can't keep things in my stash and not use them cos I think they're "too precious!" {smacking back of hand!} I love the little Jolee's Boutique train on this page too, too cute!
And lastly, a pic of Jaimeson, look at his wide open eyes! Can you believe our little boy is 2 months old now? Whoa!! I love this little "Forest Friends" Romper I found in Target, that Fox is just so cute! I wish they had more Woodland stuff around in the shops here, or I wish I had bought more Woodland stuff at Carters/ Old Navy in Hawaii!
Hope you're having a Happy Weekend!

The Friday project unveiled!

Hi y'all!
Well did you have a good old guess at what yesterday's project was from my iphone pic? Yvette guessed an owl, which was a good guess seeing as I love owls, but I've already made Peabody an owl so no. It was..... a Mr Hedgehog taggie!
I got the idea after buying my pinking shears to make a small felt Hedgehog for Peabody and I was thinking what else I could make using the pinking shears (it turns out it's addictive to cut things in a zig zag. Who knew?) I drew out this pattern at work one night and decided to make it into a taggie (a toy with tags of ribbon for baby to hold on to) cos that sounded pretty cool. And I have about a trillion different ribbons so it was going to be a good way to use some of them!
Initially I was going to make him all out of felt, but then when I looked through my fabric collection I realised if I make everything out of felt there will be no use for the stash of pretty fabrics I've been hoarding for a rainy day {wink!}. So I gathered some brown and aqua fabrics & ribbons and set to work! I was on a roll yesterday til I broke my sewing machine needle. D'oh! So I used last night to hand sew the eyeballs on and his nose on and sew some eyebrows (cos what Hedgehog doesn't have eyebrows, honestly...) and then this morning I found a spare sewing machine needle and I finished him off {high five!} I am so proud of how he turned out!! I just love him and I hope Peabody does too! And I'm so proud cos I thought of it all on my own and drew the pattern and it actually turned out exactly as I wanted {happy dance!}
So here is all the sewing I've done for Peabody, lovingly arranged in the lined basket Mum made using some beautiful bird-nest fabric I bought at Spotlight and a basket we got as a food hamper for our Engagement (hooray, recycling!) Thanks Mum!
So hooray, another one of my "Maternity Leave Projects" out of the way! Now I just have to scrap about 40 pages before Peabody is born. LOL!!
:) C

A Baby Belongs Here..

It's oh so sweet. That little feeling I get down in my tummy, about where Peabody's hands are gently punching at my lower organs, that warm and fuzzy feeling, when I look at this shelf and the things on it! I wanted a shelf for Peabody's things and we bought a Lack shelf from IKEA a few weeks ago, and today Will finally put it up above the TV (pretty much the only free space left in our room!). All afternoon, as I have looked at the TV and my eyes drift gently upwards, I see the shelf and all the sweet little baby things on it, and I think "A Baby belongs in this room!" Oh it is so sweet! Its finally becoming a real thing now!
On the shelf is Peabody's little Woodland of animals, Lewis & Hamilton, the Bunny from Mum and Dad for Easter, Mum's knitted owl & felt mushroom, Goober the Bear from Cooper and Sienna and the original Winnie the Pooh (not the ultra-orange Disney version!) I have had for years in my glory box which just made its way from Mum and Dad's for Peabody! Peabody's 5 books are there too along with a gorgeous Owl frame from Felicity which is waiting for a pic of Peabody! I think we might finally bring the Bassinet up from downstairs and make it all up ready too. Wow, it really is the homestretch!

Baby Shower Bracelet

How cool is this idea? Yvette organised for all the ladies at my Baby Shower to bring along a bead which she made into a bracelet on the day for me to wear and think of all the support I can count on from family and friends during the pregnancy, labour and afterwards! What a special thing to do! I wish I knew which bead was from who though, I haven't gotten around to asking everybody, so if you see yours let me know! Yvette did say there were too many for one bracelet though, I knew I had too many friends {tongue in cheek!} I picked Mum's out {smiles} cos it looked like her kind of bead- can you pick it? It's the teal oval bead with a tiny pink flower inside it! She said she kept the other one (cos they were a pair) and she wanted to make it into a bracelet to wear so she would think of me. Isn't that sweet! Felicity's is the silver ball with silver swirls on it, Alicia's is the hot pink hexagon and Yvette I don't know which one was yours! Whenever I have worn it to work my work friends are like "Oh, you're wearing your bracelet!" cos they like seeing their beads :)
Thank you so much for organising this Yvette, i just love it!

Sewing for Peabody

Hi y'all!
Yay, it's only day 2 of our 5 day Easter Long Weekend, hooray! This means I can get heaps of stuff done for Peabody and also get Hotel d'Lam cleaned up a bit before my MIL returns from China on Monday. Apparently Will's cousins have been giving his Mum lots of stuff to bring back for Peabody, so I'm interested to see what she brings! Is it going to be those (sometimes gorgeous) Asian Puff-ball dresses, or a bunch of horrible character outfits made from hot, scratchy, flammable, unbreathable fabrics? {giggles} I'm really excited to see! LOL!
As you know, Peabody's nursery corner is "Woodland Themed" (yet to be all set up though- better get moving {sound of whip cracking behind me!}) so I have had all these cool ideas of some toys to make for Peabody, including a Woodland Mobile. Well, this week I have finished off 4 more Felt animals which takes my total up to 6! Hooray! I have sewn them all onto red ribbon loops so that they didn't have to be permanantly fixed to anything. At this stage I will probably peg some to the "hood" bars that go over the bassinet which holds the mosquito net, then I could also tie one to another long ribbon loop for the pram etc. Then when Peabody goes into a cot I will probably make the mobile then. I figure they're probably quite multi-purpose when they're sewn to a ribbon loop! I got the idea for them from Etsy, where there are so many gorgeous felt animals and baby mobiles! But there was no way I was going to pay $70 for one! Not when I have 2 hands of my own to make them with!! The idea for the moose, fox and hedgehog all came from finger puppets on etsy, the mushroom and cloud are like Japanese ones I've seen around and the rabbit just came from my head. I still have a lot more animals in my head, so I should keep on sewing this weekend!
And here is the Nanna Knitted Knee Rug (well, crocheted, but it doesn't alliterate as well) I was telling Yvette about, that I bought from the Hospital Auxiliary on one of our Antenatal Visits. The old dear's always have a stand at the Hospital and one day as we were walking out this rug caught my eye and I bought it! (For the bargain price of $14 too, including a face washer and vanilla scented sachet!). I loved the gray and yellow colours and knew it would be suited to Peabody's Woodland room, especially seeing as it is non-gender specific and we don't know if Peabody is a girl or boy ! I thought it would be handy for throwing on our floor to give Peabody some tummy time, cos we've got floorboards throughout the house, and the rug is nice and soft & squishy. Mum said it's made from pretty good Wool too so that was good to hear! I loved supporting the Hospital Auxiliary and I always stop past their stall now, though haven't bought anything else yet. I really can't believe I will have only 4 more weeks of visiting the hospital before Peabody is born! How time is flyyyyyiiinnnnggg (eek!)

Peabody's Woodland Baby Shower!

Hi y'all!
Happy Tuesday! My weekly pic will have to wait one post, until I've posted these pics from Peabody's Woodland themed Baby Shower on Sunday. Oh I had such a fantastic day! Thank you to my family who put in so much effort baking, decorating and organising games, and to Alicia who always opens her house so wonderfully to us for partying! As soon as one of my work friends, Linh, walked in she said "Oh I always love coming to parties here, you can smell the food as soon as you walk in and it always looks so great!" {high five!} You can't really beat a comment like that! I'm going to post lots of pics so prepare yourself for total overload!!These are the fantastic felt Mushrooms Mum made for the entrance. Aren't they just to most awesome mushrooms you have ever seen? And her gorgeous little bunny is so sweet sitting underneath {heart!} There were 3 mushrooms and Peabody, Tassy and Sienna were all lucky to get to take one home. I can't wait to set up Peabody's nursery corner properly and put this mushroom to good use!

Mum also made this sweet Woodland wreath to greet the guests on the way in! Love those tiny mushrooms and sweet little birds!Mum and I have been collecting Woodland themed decor for the party, but also once we started looking around our houses at what we already had, it seemed we have heaps of Woodland themed things! So we created this sweet display on Alicia's sideboard, of all things bird, mushroom and Woodland! There was candles, Christmas decorations (the mushroom clips and acorn), Birdhouses, pinecone candle holders, baskets of birds etc. Love it!So if you remember the invite, the colour theme was Brown, Blue, white with a splash of red so I asked my family to make Woodland-ish type food- no baby pink or baby blue icing etc! In this pic you can see Alicia's delicious Macadamia Chicken scrolls, Mum's sweet little Woodland shaped spice cakes and Felicity's awesome birds nest and edible eggs!One of Mum's friends makes these sweet little Mushroom tarts so she ordered some, aren't they cute! Yvette made the very moist Black Bottom Brownies on the right, there are Palmiers and Chunky Mini-oreo Rocky Road at the back that I made, and Baclava Logs right at the back of this pic on a plate with my ever popular White chocolate chunk and macadamia brownies.Here are my Mini Lime Meringue tarts. Dad got me a mini food blow torch from Aldi last week so next time I make them they will be even better looking cos these ones I had to brown very carefully under the griller which was hard work! You have to sit and watch it cos they brown very quickly, and quite unevenly under the element so it involved lots of shuffling. Anywho, they look good here!
And how sweet is this Woodland cupcake stand! I bought it in RJ's in Corrimal when I was visiting Mum and Dad last time. I'm not sure what it is actually supposed to be for, maybe it really is a mini bird-bath, but it held my Mini chocolate mudcake cupcakes with peanut butter frosting quite well!One thing I really wanted at the party was a Washing Line string with my favourite Woodland themed baby clothes pegged to it. It was such a talking point at the party too! Everybody seemed to "oohh and aahh" at the gorgeous little outfits hanging on it!I love this little "Gone Fishing" outfit on the end, it's perfect for Willy's baby!! So sweet!
Here are the proud Parents-To-Be! Yep, Willy came to the baby shower too :) He's the smart Dad, cos he got to indulge in all the delicious cakes and sweeties! He did join in the games too, which was so sweet!And here are my lovely sisters and I! Yvette hasn't seen me in person since Christmas when Peabody's bump was still quite small and she probably wont see me again until after Peabody is born (unless you come to Mum's sale Yvette!! I just thought of that!) so she really noticed the difference in my tummy size!
I had a fantastic day at Peabody's Woodland Baby Shower, and Peabody was quite spoilt! I do feel a lot more organised for Peabody's arrival now though, and I spent yesterday washing bassinet sheets and wraps in preparation! Not long now!

Baby Shower Cupcake Toppers!

Hi y'all!
How do you like these Woodland Themed Cupcake Toppers I'm making for my Baby Shower? I'm pretty impressed with them if I might say so myself!! I used the same Forest Friends stamps I used on the invite as well as a Hampton Arts Mushroom stamp. Aren't they cool! I bought these extra long ice cream sticks too cos I don't think I'll use these for sticking in the cupcakes as much as I might poke them around flower pots etc so it will be good that they are extra tall. That's what's in my head anyway! I might tie a little ribbon around


the sticks too, maybe the red spot I used on the invite. Yay, it's all coming together!!

Woodland Baby Shower Ideas..

Hi Y'all!
Well my Baby Shower invites were posted out last week so I hope you got yours!! We're having a Woodland themed party, of course, considering my love of owls and woodland animals {smiles}. I made the invites using Stampin Up's Forest Friends set, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and White cardstock and the Top Note Die. The red spotty ribbon is left over from our Wedding Invites, so it's kinda nice to have that tie-in too! The glittery button is from American Crafts.
My Mum and Sisters are top-class, well organised, full-of-awesome-ideas party throwers (in fact an old primary school friend I reconnected with on Facebook recently told me she remembered I always had the best parties when we were at school!) so I know it's going to be a beautiful party full of wonderful decor, delicious cakes and foods and fun! And thanks to Alicia for being the gracious host again, she really does have the best party house! I'm really looking forward to it! I can't believe this time around the baby shower is for me! It still sounds funny!
So if you wanted an idea of what to get me {giggles} or what Peabody's Nursery corner of our bedroom will be like (evidently there aren't enough rooms at Hotel d'Lam for us all so Peabody will be in with us... indefinitely. I have to work on marrying off Will's sisters. LOL!) then here is a Woodland Shower/Nursery mood board I put together of things I loved off Etsy. Tonight I am planning on making some felt woodland animals for a baby mobile or pram toys for Peabody. I haven't made anything like this yet for him/her but I realised with less than 10 weeks to go I have to get cracking! I have made some good scrap pages about our journey together though, so I don't feel like I have done nothing for Peabody which is good!!
I hope to see you at my party!
