Stell & sprell

We´re not buying one of those bags for diapers people have hanging from their prams. They´re both expensive and I find it hard to find a good looking one that will fit me and my man. Luckily we got this sack for christmas. We´ll have one of my bags for diapers and one of my bags for dirty clothes in it, filled with what Mini will need to get tidy outside the house. I made a little bag for dirty clothes today. I used some leftovers from an old shower curtain on the inside so it will tolerate poop and all that jazz. I also made a mat for changing diapers when out of the house. I used an old towel, some Ikea fabric and a piece of that shower curtain in the middle. Then we´ll have diapers, clean clothes and some rags in the other little bag. All together in the sack. I think this will do. Now just let our new little boss come say hello. We´re as ready as can be. If that´s even possible. 

Camerabag

You know that bag to bring to the hospital? I´m working on it. Every day. hard to decide what to bring. But offcourse we´ll bring our cameras. So we needed a new bag for our film camera.I made one from a Marimekko towel and an old plaid (fleece). Funny how glad you can get when all out of a sudden an old, extra button from Cheap Monday showed up in one of my boxes. Yeah.

BæsjProppTiss

It´s been on my list for so long. Finally I sat down and made a bag for diapers for Mini too. I actually think it´s hard cutting in lovely Marimekko fabric, so I always save it for something special. But it´s better making something I will (hopefully) use instead of storing it. I think some towels are too nice to use for dish drying, so I try to give them a new life as something useful. Like this. 

Poteito potato

I am also very pleased with one of my latest potato-stamp-project on baby clothing. Such an easy way to make your own little collection. Just cut out a pattern i half a potato, and dip it or put some textile paint on. Then go! You can see the result on instagram. 
Don´t remember where I saw this idea, but I know I´m not the first one doing this.

Paper

I like it simple. And easy. I am not that patient, so I haven´t made my own. I bought some cubes to cut and fold, from Snug. They´ve been waiting for me. For weeks. This week-end I finally told myself to get done with them, and I even got them up. I plan to make a mobile for Mini from these after Christmas. Furthermore I´ve made some babystuff which you can see on Instagram if you´re there. I can´t bother to take pictures for my blog of everything I do, therefore Insta-followers can see more of what I do. Next I will try to get my new honeyballs up. Like on so many other blogs. But hey, I like them! And if you want to print out your own, check out this mobile made by LittleHelsinki. She has done what I plan to do.

Zip it

I love pillows. Old news, you say. I make new ones when I feel like. This one I decided to make months ago. Now it´s done. Spent a couple of hours in my attic trying to figure how to sew the zipper on. I decided not to stop before it was done. It´s a first time for everything. So I did it my way. I used an old zipper from my grandmothers treasure box. Felt great. It´s a pillow for nursing. Someone say I won´t need it. But I had to have one. I had to make a cool cushion. I used the old one I bought 2.hand as model. I bought this Marimekko fabric in Helsinki just for this! I know. I´m a sucker for design. And so it is. Now it´s done. Next: baby basket.
