Nursery nicknacks

When I became pregnant I knew I never wanted an off the peg nursery from the high street in ubiquitous pale blue, pale pink, lemon yellow or play it safe neutrals, so I have created a happy space for my baby in primary brights back to white and natural wood.  By making things and using hand-me-downs, retro furniture and finds from my travels I have created a more personal space that has stories to tell.

Home-made curtains - the bane of my life at 39 weeks pregnant!



Operation Bunny

I knew I did a fashion degree for a reason - I've dusted down my pattern square & put my design & pattern skills to good use to create a birthday present for my friend's baby.  Here is the first off the production line - we'll have to see if more follow.
