May's Monthly Makes...


My needles have been well and truly busy this month as I was delighted to have two partners in the button swap, so what did I make for Mandy and Wendy???

 
They both got a covered notebook



brooches with flowery buttons on,


 a lavender bag each,



and some hand made "buttony" gift tags to go on their parcels.

(I'll show you what else I sent to the girls in another post)


 
When I saw this sindy pram in Alexa's bedroom I sneaked it home to make some bedding for it as it was looking rather sorry for itself.

 

I made a matress out of some wadding and a cotton hankie,



and a sheet that I edged with little heart shaped buttons,


 then I made  pillow and quilt from some  pretty CK paisley fabric and, as dolly had no clothes on  I croched her a pink dress and hat. I thought the fabric suited the blue pram but Alexa is a "pink" girl and said "I wanted it pink spotty grandma"!!

  Anyone know where I can get pink spotty fabric???


I've also been making "granny squares" to make into a picnic blanket, I have loads of balls of wool so I thought I'd  use them up and make it colourful!!


And that's it for this month, did you make anything nice??

Love Lucey xx

You really made the little pram come alive with your pretty bedding. Pink spots indeed! And the gift tags are so sweet - what a lovely idea.

That Sindy pram just brought back so many childhood memories!
