Handmade for Baby

I was so excited when my daughter told me
she was pregnant, I started
knitting this white blanket the very next day.
Some weeks later, I crocheted this
 100% cotton wee multiple coloured cover.

I hand painted this onesie in the 'under the ocean' theme
that goes with wee lad's nursery.
I call him 'little squirt' too.

I started this top white crocheted crib blanket
early on too. Using extremely soft yarn (Simply Soft)
the blue/green/yellow 'mommy & me' blanket was made from
same pattern & same yarn brand (Simply Soft).

I love making my grandson hats, blankets, and so
many other 'baby' wears.
I'm very happy that my daughter humor's me
by using them.
Though, I'm not certain my grandson will forgive me
for the silly stuff I put on him (like this pumpkin top hat).
Love you wee lad, Love Nana

Under the Sea Themed Nursery Decorations

A good day to paint!

I've decided to create a few canvas paintings for my grandson's nursery (he's due in August).

My daughter has chosen an Under the Sea theme for the decor. In keeping with it, I've decided to use
the bedding for my inspiration.

Many layers were needed to cover the canvas.
I have allot of craft paints to use up,
decided to use craft instead of painters grade
paint.

Little squirt is completed, nearly.

Ta Da, the first two are nearly complete...

I was painting the crab when I started craving tea & cake.
When I came back to painting area, I realized
all was red and white! ;)

Finally was able to finish these BEFORE my grandson is born :)

In anticipation of new family member...

I found this bag & thought it would make a good nappy sack for my daughter
or even me (Nana).

The inside lining is very much my daughters taste in style though.

All this needs to fit it the bag! Just a few things I've made & collected in anticipation of my grandson's arrival.

Hand crocheted hats (of course) were really fun to make, &  a couple 'Daddy' outfits
for both baby & my son-in-law.

I love rubber ducky prints. A 'little squirt' outfit in keeping with the sea theme & book.

BOOTIES! A bag full of them & a few 'to grow into'. 

Burpie & blanket. I made both. Crocheted this one with spare 100% cotton baby yarn
for stroller/car seat/nappy bag. Burpie rag was made from recycled flannel sheet and scrap material
I've had since my own kids were little!

Clothes fit...

Crocheted booties & hats next...

Burpie, blanket and bubba next, but something is missing...but what?

Yes, this complete's the nappy bag perfectly! :)
