Much loved toys ...

My son when he was younger  was very much that pragmatic child such as when asked what his teddy was called he simply replied " Teddy " And when he got an Easter  Bunny  yes you guessed it it was called" Bunny "

My son moonlighting as Doctor Who outside his  Tardis.

My son also used "Bunny " as a pillow when we travelled but as you can see from the picture  this " Bunny " is quite bulky.

So this Christmas I was intrigued to see my niece with a soft toy Unicorn, she showed me her toy but it was also a pillow  a ' Pillow pet' !

 My son when he was younger would have loved this sort of toy/pillow and I would have bought him the Easter Bunny 'Pillow pet' and yes he still would have called it " Bunny '

Children love stuffed animals based on the way they look.  The Cream Bunny My Pillow Pet has a great cream colour that makes up the body.  It also has two long ears like you would want to see on a bunny stuffed animal.  It has a puffy tail, a smiling face, and two big eyes.  It also has a nice pink nose.  For some extra colour there are multicolored spots on the bottom of the ears.  The soft plush materials that these stuffed animals are made out of look excellent as well.  Overall, I would say that the White Bunny Pillow Pets look cute and are a stuffed toy kids will enjoy , and many a parent will be happy at the sound of a snoring child.

Party Acceptance card handmade

I made this party acceptance card for my friends 50th Party in May I thought as it was her special Birthday in May her 50th that I would make an effort when writing an acceptance.

Such  things now seem to go by the wayside in this age of email acceptances and text .. So i thought it would be nice to be old school and traditional.

So after getting lost in the craft department of my local garden centre I purchased some crafting scissors, spot on glue , double sided tape and a craft magazine ... (which was 1 hour away and not really local at all Mr T muttered. )

I don't think I did too bad  ! what do you think / and remember I am just a beginner!

My Midwife journey.....

 With all this talk of going back to the 1950's and with the completion of the successful BBC series 'Midwives' it got me thinking of my midwife journey. So way back in 1998  as I started my pregnancy journey .. clutching my copy of  Emma's Dairy  I went to see my midwife.


Emma Driary is a source of brilliant information for pregnant ladies , well it was for me anyway. Ever the pragmatist  I pointed at the bit in my copy of  Emma's Driary ( 1998 )  the bit where it mentioned Domino Delivery and this sadly is not anything to do with a successful pizza delivery service  .


It's when the midwife is with you at home for the majority of the labour, you then go in for the actual birth and then are home as soon as possible after the birth, sometimes within a couple of hours of delivery. It's a way of spending the maximum time at home and not in hospital but with midwife assistance.. Which is pretty much what is talked about currently. I was  laughed out of the Doctors surgery with the words ringing in my ears " We don't have the resources for that! ".


 I should have complained but I didn't  at the time now I would  as it happens it wouldn't have been suitable becasue of the complications I went on to have. But I would liked to have the oppurtunity intially to have it.
