stitching again

I loved stitching on my last lo that it gave me the idea of stitching on this lo and using french knots to replicate the rope climbing frame my son was on trying to be a monkey hence the title i am pleased with how this turned out and will def be doing more stitching on my los from now on

sticthing on a lo

I did this lo for the monthly house challenge on uks which was stitching and fave place i drew round a piece of heart scalloped shaped cs and pierced holes around the outline and stitched using green cotton i took a photo of my bedroom as that is my fave place to unwind and relax the green theme came about cos my printer seems to be printing things out in green dont know why so rather than going elsewhere to get photo sorted i decided to use a green theme to blend in with it all it turned out ok

Nappy cake

This is my first attempt at making a nappy cake i had seen one on uks and thought they were fab and would be a perfect gift for my friend i am really pleased with how it turned out and didnt take that long either should have taken a pic before i wrapped it in cellophane but you get the idea hope my friend likes it when i give it to her tommorow

My new storage caddy

I went out with my mum and dad yesterday and they bought me this fab storage box it has quite a few drawers and compartments for things i just have to find where to put it and what to put in it now lol
The first picture is the top big enough to hold 12x12 and it comes off the top

This is one of the sides it has a corky board to stick things on and 3 pockets at the bottom
This is another side with drawers and the bottom drawer with the holes is for ribbon it has a metal rod inside
These are a few ribbons that came with it inside the drawer and it also has another few in the other side
This pic is sideways for some reason this is another side and it has pockets to hole bits in
The 4th side same as the other side with the ribbon holder at the bottom
