Been busily working on getting ready for baby's arrival in December and thought I'd share what I've gotten put together so far. My wonderful husband found a carseat, Chicco brand, so I know baby will be safe. :) Almost done with purchasing clothing. I have all I need for 3-6 months. *cheers* Just need a few items for 0-3 months and I'm done with purchased clothing. Still have hand-knit items in both sizes, but those are just a matter of time and patience on my part before I have those done and ready as well!
Hats I have completed so far. One 3-6 month old beanie and four 0-3 month sized hats, with one being modeled by Cailyn, the latest reborn doll from the nursery.
Totoro hat!!! I fell in love with the pattern as soon as I saw it and had to make it. I'm a huge fan of Totoro, so a Totoro hat for my baby is a must. Now I just need to finish the booties with Soot Sprites that I want to go with it.....
The awesome 2-way swing I found at my wonderful local thrift store that carries tons of baby items. Got it for only $35 and it's in great condition.
Hand-knit booties I've made so far. Converse that I made for the baby announcement, my husband and I both have black chuck taylors from our Doctor Who themed wedding and I thought it would be cute for baby to have some as well. :)
The gray-brown booties, I like the way they turned out, but they were a pain to make. The pattern was not well written and confused me at several points. Usually I can figure things out after some research, this one, not so much. Just glad it worked out in the end, though I will never use that pattern again.
The blue booties are made with a cotton-silk yarn and are SO SOFT! I loved the pattern as well, very simple and easy. There will be more in this style in the future, probably going to use it for the Soot Sprite shoes and several other colors as well. Plus it's a 0-6 month pattern, so each pair of booties will last awhile longer.
Baby bump photos since I know so many people want to see the growing belly. ^_^
Added the one below mostly because I realized I'm hiding my back in the clear photo above, so you can't see the true size of the bump. What I get for trying to take photos by myself!
And a photo of baby at almost 25 weeks in the womb!!!
