Hello all!
I've been away far too long - I apologise!As a result, I have so much to tell you, but instead of putting it all in one very long blog post, I will do several short ones.
Todays post is about some girly presents I have been beavering away to complete. Just one left to go now!
A few months back, I showed you this "Top Secret" post.
I am now delighted to share with you what was so top secret: I have another adopted niece! My older brother and his wife have an adopted little boy, who has just turned two, an now they have his biological half sister too!
So these were the blanket and booties I made her:
The blanket is crochet on one side and patchwork fabric on the other. The bootie pattern can be found here.
They were gratefully received!
The second new niece is on the Hubs side. His brother and partner are expecting their first daughter (they already have a son), and two things were requested. One gorgeous coat, for this coming winter and a spring cardigan she can wear when she is born (end of April)
This is the new born cardi, and the free pattern can be found here.
The coat I am making is this:
Mine is a slightly more pink/lilac colour and I only have the collar to do now, but I'm very pleased with it and if it comes out anywhere as beautiful as this picture, then I will think myself proud!
I hope to show this finished by tomorrow and maybe do a "FO Friday" post!
That's all for now!
Until next time, you take care now x

What beautiful baby girl things you've made! I love the colours you've used and adding a patchworked back to the crocheted blanket is a wonderful idea. Baby niece will be very warm and cosy. The spring cardi--so pretty! You've done some wonderful work there, you should be proud! X
