Em's Baby Shower gifts

A good friend of mine is having her baby shower and after researching I made her a chalkboard sign she can use as the baby gets older. Being a graphic designer, this was suiting form me. I also love those growth shots! I also made a sock bouquet and towel teddy bear. The card was a cute baby carriage with buttons and according pleat fan.. All in the blue theme.. I also had a go at making little gingerbread teddy bear cookies, an idea I saw on Pinterest but I used Tiny Teddy biscuits. It was too fiddly to have it holding/hugging the tiny teddy so I ended up making them pregnant :) Any excuse for a themed get together with games! And what great ideas for food, gifts and games..

Game ideas:

A lot of quiz type ones are great! Match the baby animal or famous babies, baby related scategories, nursery rhymes etc.. And of course predictions and advice cards can be fun, even creating a time capsule for the baby to open when 18..

Pin the dummy on the baby or sperm on the egg

Guess how many lollies in the bottle

Skull drink from a baby bottle

Spit the dummy (see how far each can spit a dummy)
Mum or Dad? Choose between the facts (when first walked etc)

Labour or porn- Close up pics of faces and have to guess which

Name the song (with baby theme)

Guess the baby food

Match celebrity baby name 

Pass the parcel
Animal babies quiz

Minute to win style games 
The list is endless!

Cutest-baby-shower-ideas- Some great ones on this site

And I love the idea of giving blue or pink shower poufs as gifts to say from one shower to another! (or any blue/pink shower related item for that matter)

Em's Knitted Blanket

I have finally finished my knitted blanket! I used a circular knitting needle and scrap wool to create this throw. I started years ago! and finally decided it was long enough to cast off. I really wanted it to be long enough to cover my shoulders and feet when snuggling under it. It also has a bit of stretch.

I used a mix of weight and fibres, metallic, interesting and plain mainly purple yarns and left the ends to create the tassel.
I've already started on a new one!
