Nappy cake

Hi everyone
something a bit different today...
a nappy cake!
My niece is due to have her first baby in January.
She is having her baby shower on Sunday,
so I thought I'd whip up this nappy cake for her.
96 nappies and lots of essential bits and pieces
all topped off with a cute pink teddy :o)

Parcel post on a SUNDAY?

Well, hubby went off to the local store today and 2 mins later
the door bells rings...what's he forgotten? I thought,
so I went and answered the door to find a parcel post
van leaving the driveway...what the? then I look down and
see a parcel...for me Yay!!!!
We have never had anything delivered on a sunday, I didn't know
that they worked on weekends, or is it only because Christmas
is fastly aproaching?
Anyway, it was my swap gifts from Shez from
Tilda Christmas swap, Woohoo!

5 awesome looking gifts, all waiting to be unwrapped!
So I started with the smaller gift (great things always come
in small packages!) and I got 2 lots of christmas
ribbon. the second gift had lots of yumminess
in the form of a christmas stocking.

next parcel, this gorgeous Pyjama Snowman,
Shez has done an awesome job on him, he is so sweet!
He can hang on the wall, but I thought he looked more
comfy sitting down :o)
I absolutely love his carrot nose!

the next parcel had these gorgeous handmade Tilda Baubles
 

these are going to look stunning on my tree, I am aiming to have
lots and lots of handmade ornaments on there this year,
so these are just perfect!

and the 5th parcel, 2 sets of flower lights, these are so pretty
in real life, I will definately get some use out of these, I will just
need to keep them away from my daughter, she already has
her eyes on them lol!

and here they all are together

I absolutely love everything, thanks so much Shez, you have
been a fantastic swap partner!
Thanks again to Cat from Catina's Cottage
for hosting this swap.

Tilda Christmas swap

Hi everyone
I joined a Christmas themed Tilda swap over at
Catalina's Cottage after having so much fun during
her Tea Party swap some time ago.
I was paired up with the talented Shez
from Enjoying Life which I was really happy about
as I think we have simular tastes.

Anyway the idea of this swap was to send

- A Handmade Tilda Christmas Decoration
- Christmas haberdashery items
- An edible gift
- Anything else related to your partners likes.

so for the handmade items,  I decided to make a couple of
things, I got patterns from these Tone Finnanger books...
Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle
Crafting Christmas Gifts


Pixie girl

Reindeer

Birds

and for the haberdashery items...
some fabric, 3 spools or ribbon and some ''christmas
potpourri''  buttons.
Shez said she like milk chocolate with flavoured
centres, so hopefully she will like a bar of cadbury
snack chocolate (had to behave with that in the house lol),
and ofcourse, as its is a christmas theme, I had to throw
in some candy canes!
Also, just for fun I added some christmas cards,
some wine/drink glass charms and
some curling ribbons and bows

hope you like your gifts Shez I had lots of fun putting these
gifts together! Thanks too to Cat for organising this
awesome swap!
