So much goodness

There is just so much goodness at Anthropologie. Lovin' this giraffe hook for the little nursery.

What I've been up to

Here's some of the stuff I've been making lately, as part of this nesting business.

A jacket for the little guy...

Hat..

Bibs... 

Some friends picked up this rocking/nursing chair from the recycling part of the dump and gave it to us...with a decent clean up and a bit of re-upholstery (it was a hideous beige colour in it's previous life), we've got a pretty good nursing chair.

Here's a layer cake I made recently for a baby shower...it looked like this on the outside..

but when you cut into it there are six layers of colour. Cool huh. 

And this is my fave part - what we have nicknamed the 'Cute Zone'.

Includes the nappy-changing system Carl finds hilarious, the NZ native bird toys, and of course a bit of Babar... 



Cute explosion

There is a cute explosion going on in the house with the addition of all sorts of baby bits and bobs for the little fella's arrival. Must say, I do like the black/white/grey colour scheme in these little tacker's rooms, which go to show you can have a cute explosion while still looking styley.

Whoa baby!

So, I've started dipping my toe into the world of baby stuff lately. Shivers. It's a dangerous world out there. For example, when the likes of Missoni gets involved with designing prams (or strollers or whatever they should be called). According to Carl, I am banned from even looking at this brand. It's fair enough though, I would like to be able to afford to feed the little chap when he arrrives anyway.

So, more in line with our style, I've started sewing some clothes - inspired by these funky-as little pants from here...

I'm also totally loving the idea of getting a big Babar print for the baby's room (well, their corner of the room). What's not to love about Babar? This one is my fave.
