I've been knitting and crocheting...

Still waiting for our little princess to make her appearance.  Yesterday was D-Day but she is still feeling happy and comfortable inside Mummy....

Nanny has been doing some knitting and crocheting.  I've been making little Hugg Boots and I did a little cardigan and tonight I crocheted a little hat for her.

Pinterest has been my friend with lots of lovely free knitting and crochet patterns.  This little jumper is knitted all in one piece - the sleeves as part of it as well.  And the little hat was so easy, it only took and hour or so to make. I've done the Ugg booties in pinks, and multicoloured pinks as well.

So we are all set for her arrival.   Tonight my son said it was like Christmas... but it kept moving... he is super excited to becoming a Dad. 

Suitcase Gift box

I am trying hard to learn to use my Brother ScanNCut a bit more.  I've been using the Brother Canvas to do my designs.  There are lots of free cuts available there.  Last week a new free cut popped in to the canvas files - a cute little gift box - that looks like a suitcase...

  Isn't it the cutest.  I stamped the front with some Hero Arts stamps (Circa 2009)  I was very impressed how easy it was to cut out and put together.  It comes with a PDF recipe that shows you how to fold and glue it together.    I really had fun making this.

Counting down the days.... 2 more days at work.  Although I didn't make it in this morning as I've got another cold!  Coughing and spluttering all night, so spend most of the day in bed,  then resting, reading and knitting.  Another premmie singlet finished and some more little booties.
