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)

thanks for stopping by

Happy Crafting!

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

Enjoying Life in the

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!

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Crafting!
