Quick make, pram bedding
10:27 am I used my Buddies fabric to whip up some pram bedding this morning. Just a simple stretch sheet and blanket with a velour reverse. I'm quite pleased with how well the colours of my fabric tie in with my lovely new purple pram.
You know I could ponder a while on the subject of prams, and the fact that some people seem convinced they have mystical powers that can kill babies, while others seem to think the fact that I have one all set up and ready in my kitchen implies some kind of optimism on my part.
The truth is, it's a beautiful thing, but it's just a thing, it can't kill my baby, it can't guarantee he'll live.
It sits quietly under a photo of Florence, and every now and again I look at it and hope I get to use it very soon.

ReplyDeleteAnd I am, as I always silently do, sending lots of positive energy your way.
i agree. a pram is just a pram. we had all of brynns stuff in the house before she arrived. it's a very beautiful one at that and accessorised wonderfully. xxx

You're right, a pram is just a pram, nothing more. I've been warned against bringing one into the house before the birth too, but apart from it being impractical to store it somewhere else, collecting together baby equipment is an important and pleasurable run-up to the birth. The bedding you have made is really beautiful and I'm absolutely convinced that anything that gives you relaxation, satisfaction and pleasure is only a good thing. I'm sending you lots and lots of positive thoughts and support. xxxx
ReplyDeleteooh, i love that material!xxx
ReplyDeletethat print is gorgeous! Did you buy it online?
ReplyDeleteYoure right a pram is just a thing. Not an omen or a sign. Just a thing.
Love, love, love the colours Jeanette. Hoping very much you get to enjoy this new boy in that pram and cuddle him in those blankets until he's long outgrown them. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Roof for the blogger award.
ReplyDeleteGreen Mama, that fabric is my own design, but you can buy it from spoonflower, just click on the piccie in the post and it should take you to it. I had it printed on organic interlock, but there are other fabrics to choose from.
Ack, you are so clever making sheets for the weird shaped Xplory mattress! (I presume it still has the random chunk out of the bottom!)
ReplyDeletePoor Otto never had sheets in ours as I was too tight to buy any!
What a lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric :)
(Oh and how do I copy that nifty copyrighty thing you've got over the pattern sample? I've been trying to suss that out for ages to put on my paintings??)
