*Nappies, Nappies and more Nappies....

BUt wiTh a TWIST...

Inspired by being surrounded by nappies and our little porker of a daughter growing out of her 'newborn' ones.
We still had about 100 nappies left that Zaria didn't fit so I thought what can I do with them??

I have 4 friends down here in Blenheim due for babies so I decided to make them nappy cakes for a present..

NO you don't eat them!!






INGREDIENTS:
30 disposable nappies
1x Muslin Wrap and face/washcloth
1x Blanket
1x Sleeping nightie (or stretch'n grow)
2x pair socks turned into roses for girls
or
3x Jungle Animal finger puppets for boys
1x Fancy Bib
1x Hidden bag of Chocolates (for Mum)

surround with Tuille and Ribbon
and topped with Soft toy (8 different varieties)

I had such good feedback from the ones I have given out that I decided to try to do it as a business.. and sell them online on Trade Me.
Hopefully they will be good for baby showers or to be sent to hospitals for New Mums.
It might not make me into a millionaire, but it sure is fun making them!

Today we drove to St Arnaud for the weekend for Mummy's Birthday.

There was lots of beautiful snow everywhere. Here is a photo of Zaria with Daddy next to the Woodbourne Lodge sign and in the snow for the first time. The temperature was 3 degrees.. BRrrrrrrrr....... chilly!!


After being there for 30 minutes we couldn't get any water to work in the house as the pipes had frozen up, so we had to jump in the car and drive back home.

Oh well, it was a pretty drive up there and we got some photos of the snow for Zaria.
