Our Precious New Arrival and a Twin Pushchair

Hello all,
Well I had begun the year with great intentions to keep everybody updated but then I got a surprise, a new granddaughter so all my efforts went off in a rather PINK baby girl direction lol and oh am I enjoying her.
I thought I'd show you all a few pictures of my gorgeous 1st granddaughter Phoebe, she weighed 8lb 6oz at birth and she's almost six weeks old now which means that I have finally managed to slow down buying her gorgeous outfits and actually apply myself enough to finish off a twin pushchair that I started some months back - pictures below.

I have another twin pushchair on the table almost finished and then I've got some new materials to test out before I begin making some pram and pushchair kits.  The patterns for the body of the pram/pushchair is the easy part of designing a kit but I'm not sure how to convert the rest of the process into kit form so a little working out is needed here.

AND, as if I didn't have enough projects on the go, I started my DHE mountfield doll house, so far it has been just glued together but soon I'll be priming it in white before testing out my brick effect  mix that I got from Bromleys that I've never used before... I'll post pictures as I go so you can see how easy or difficult it is to use.

Ok now for all the pictures, firstly my little princess Phoebe...

She's absolutely gorgeous and I love her to pieces :) 


And here is the pushchair with separately reclining seats, yes it is like the last one but that is because since I made it everyone has asked me to make another one so, here it is and it is up for sale. 













Now if I can stop buying pink baby things I'll finish off my twin red and grey pushchair and then maybe manage to start designing some kits :)
Till next time...
Big mini hugs

    1. LOL Ginny, you always make me laugh with your naughtiness haha but so true :D thank you lovely... I'm still overwhelmed with my new princess so I think mini-land will be a slow starter in comparison for a while anyway. I am looking forward to lots of girly shopping trips tho :) xxxx

  5. Congratulations! (^ ^)
    I'm about to become grandma for the second time in about a month or so - Can't wait to see which one there will be this time. I only hope that now that my sons army time is about to end soon, that I'll get to see them both little more often than what I have seen for now...
    Phoebe sure looks cute (* *)
    And the pushchair is awesome.

  6. Awww that's wonderful news, I have a grandson also, he is 5 and I'm really lucky because he comes to my house to stay every friday and then we take him out on saturday. I can't believe how much he's grown and it is especially noticeable when I hold tiny Phoebe. I love being a grandparent. Hope you get to spend lots of time with your grandchildren in the near future :) x

  7. Hello Gill,
    What a wonderful little girl. every time I see a newborn I remember one verse from a song that goes "May the angels protect you and sadness forget you" an I certainly wish that on your beautiful granddaughter. The pushchair is beautifully done, but I'm afraid your granddaughter stole the show.
    big hug,
    Giac
