The aftermath

Following Isabelle's christening - last month! I have been making my thank you cards during Isabelle's naps to send out and I am finally done!!

Just got to post them off now.

Quick Make #5

A little gag gift for the men in our lives! I have an obsession with tins so this is brilliant!

Quick Make #4

We have a couple friends expecting this year, a thoughtful mum focused basket is a definite gift in plan for us!

Quick Make #3

Perhaps this home made lip balm would make a cutesy party favour for the guests at our christening.....

Quick Make #2

Christening is the buzz word in our house at the moment, seen as I am planning our little missy's. So I am using this time to find some good present ideas for the God Parents.

A Pouf accessory for the ladies?

My latest interests #7

You may have noticed a few changes going on around here recently, as part of my initial time out from work before baby I wanted to get this space a bit more established and interesting to read really :)

Anyway in all my exploring these last few weeks these are some things I am liking:

• These mugs might be being made into a gift for someone as a christmas present this year. Just got to start collecting the bits and pieces :)
• Some poignant information to bare in mind for my labour - which could be any day now that I am considered full term!
• I always seem to be thinking about food.... not sure what that says about me!!! I think I would adapt this recipe a little so that it didn't contain as much sugar because I am a picker I just like to have little bits of things. 
• I really love this belt idea, with an expanding waist line sometimes I want the definition but not the tightness of an elasticated waist - at least with this if I was having a particularly big day I could accommodate it!!
• My  FREE button swap is also doing well which makes me super happy! I still have places though if anyone is thinking about taking part in a swap :)

Some Christmas ideas ...

So I obviously can't be saying what I am doing for each person until Christmas has passed.

But a little peak I have found this little project list, a few of these have definitely tickled my fancy......

Sunshine!

It has been nice waking up to a slightly fresh morning with a little frost, sunshine in the early morning just brightens the office a treat! Makes work seem that much easier.

In the south we get quite mild weather but the last week or so has been lovely, I even managed to go for a walk today without a coat!! Just my cardigan was enough.

We have then spent the evening with the in laws (Mr HB's parents) I am practising knitting some booties, I like to keep a stash of knitted things for our future babies/presents for friends that are expecting. Hand made gifts always mean more to me! But I am soppy like that!!
