there were 5 in the bed...................

and the little one said.........................cough, cough, splatter, spit................lol

5 down, 1 to go. 5 of us have had the flu over the past 10 days. We have never been so ill.

Any way, enough complaining.

10 days ago I had the pleasure of attending my niece inlaw's baby shower. I haven't been to a baby shower in years. It was so much fun. There were four young pregnant women there at different stages. Of course I had to touch all their bellies and say hi to the bubba's. I am sure I must freak some mums out but I just can't help it...................lol
I only had three days to come up with some gifts for our 'mum to be', as my invitation got lost in the mail. Typical Australia Post. Luckily I was chatting to my sister who asked if I was going or I would not have known about it.............lol. Here are the items I made her.


Little one made the card.


snoodle doll


huge bag
burp cloths


On Wednesday when Little one was feeling better, she decided to make the doll I bought for her on her birthday last month. She only needed a bit of my help, sewing around curves and cutting the pattern. She did the rest.
Gather your supplies


start sewing
Stitch a beautiful face and stuff the doll


Introducing...........Ruby.

Jules
