Quick make, pram bedding

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.

  6. 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

    Youre right a pram is just a thing. Not an omen or a sign. Just a thing.

  10. Thank you Roof for the blogger award.
    Green 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.

  11. 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!)

    Poor Otto never had sheets in ours as I was too tight to buy any!
