Counting 123 Book

My little guy is almost 18 months old. Not only are we working on learning the letters of the alphabet, but we are also practicing our numbers too! I teach high school mathematics and I was very excited when my little guy first recognized the number 8! I knew that my next crafting project was going to be making him a fabric numbers book to read. He loves books! Each page on in this book has Paddington Bear blowing bubbles, flying a kite or up to some other activity. Since I have made this book for my little guy, less than a week ago, he has learned two more numbers - 2 and 6! We read with him for at least half an hour everyday. It is so nice to have a handmade fabric book created by his mama mixed in with all of the board books. I have even added a loop at the top of the book so that I can easily clip it to his stroller. If you would like a counting fabric book for your little one, I have listed them in my Etsy Shop, New England Quilter.

Angelina Jolie breastfeeding on the cover of W magazine

The November issue of W Magazine’s front cover features a stunning black and white photo of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding.
The photo was taken by Brad Pitt and shows Angelina wearing a sleeveless blouse revealing part of her breast and a tiny hand resting as the baby feeds. Angelina’s hair is naturally falling over her shoulder and she wears a smile of contentment.

“Angelina posed for Brad in one of the photos while breastfeeding. It’s really beautiful and tastefully done. The photos are amazing,” a Life & Style source has revealed.

The cover headline promises more photos taken by Brad and it’s been reported that the magazine has over 20 photos of Angelina and the family taken by Brad in their family home in France. The interview printed alongside the photos hints at future additions to the Pitt-Jolie family.

This issue of W Magazine goes on sale on the 21st October.

Credit Crunch Baby Boom

It’s been in the news lately that the current credit crunch is causing a baby boom.
With people having less money to spend on nights out to the cinema, dining out or pubs couples are making their own free entertainment at home and beating the credit crunch blues with a bit of bedroom fun!
There has already been an increase of sales in Maternity wear and pregnancy tests!
Is 2009 going to see a baby boom? - we think so!
It can be hard buying maternity clothes on a budget so start with basics such as a few good tops that can be worn smart or casual (top tip - Wrap arounds or Rouched tops will last the longest), a pair of comfortable maternity trousers and a classic black dress that you can wear to work or out with friends.

BoulieBags are Back!

I started making mini handbags for mini ladies (otherwise known as little girls) last year and they were a bit hit. Each bag is unique and each is embellished with a Chichiboulie images printed onto a cotton appliqué which is then stitched onto the bag.

This year I wanted to try something new so I have made up some BoulieBags in felt. What a fabulously fun fabric!

The first BoulieBags have been listed in my Etsy store with more to come. I hope to make up some "Make Your Own Boulie Bag" kits as well. Both make wonderful gifts for little girls (otherwise known as mini ladies) as my own daughters will attest!
