Gorgeous Nappy Stackers

2011-01-06T16:10:00.000-08:00

I have been sitting on a pile of nappy stackers for a while and finally decided to get the motivation and do something with them!
So far i have done some little birds on branches and a babushka but i hope to add to the collection soon!
I think these would look lovely hanging in the nursery , nappies all stacked ready to go! You could also buy them for the new mother as a shower gift.
They have been lovingly cut out by hand and some sections handstitched.
They will sell for $22 and at that price a steal!!
Limited in stock until the nappy stackers run out!

Back in to it!!

2011-01-01T15:38:00.000-08:00

I have so many ideas!! I get kinda fustrated that i cant move quick enough and get what i want out there. I make everything myself and only have one pair of hands. Plus ive got 2 girls and a hubby to take care of and they come first.

I apologise now if i waffle! Im good at that!

My first pic is what i made for my youngest daughter for a wedding this saturday..
