round the corner

We are looking forward to be spending Christmas at home this year.
I made my first Christmas stockings for the occasion.

Sweet Emily from the Black Apple adopted one of my Babette and made my day with her post.

two decorations

More soft trees made from Stephanie's pattern and the rest of the week is a bit of a blur.. going to bed early is definitely taking over my crafting time.

I did manage to have a little photo shoot with the boys as well

Léon took that picture of Lucien at the very bottom..

and check out this new Canadian online shop, Enfant terrible, you will find some of le train fantôme creatures here amongst other great designers.

have a lovely weekend x

one decoration

it took me a few days to manage to make Stephanie's soft trees but here they are at last sitting in a corner of the living room. I shall make some more in a minute, there is something relaxing about stuffing them when you didn't have much sleep. I wish I could have a nap but a certain three year old won't let me..

I have added this ghost to the shop . please order it before December 10th if you live outside of Europe and would like it delivered on time for Christmas...

 

bag and booties

thank you for all the love around Lucien, my family is not so sure about the name so I am glad You like it!

this is a bag I finished sewing just before I went to the hospital last Friday, I wanted a new large bag to carry all the baby essentials. I used a heavy checked linen material, some black twill cotton and lined it with my favourite thrifted cotton sheet.

I made these baby booties today using the very nice and simple Heather Bailey pattern . I used recycled wool and wool felt.. mister Lucien doesn't really need them at the moment but they're just nice to look at.

Now I really need to work on a few Christmas decorations...

 

Lucien

we've got a name!
Little Lucien is doing well so far and so are we. thank you all for your words below, I am deeply touched.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend x

little baby boy was born this morning at 6am, we do not have any name for him yet.. and we're all home already, exhausted but happy. thank you for your comments and encouragements below, it did help me a great deal these last few days.
