First diy toy for our baby

This past weekend we made our baby her very own plushie toy. It's a bit large but it's meant to keep her company while she's asleep in the crib, taking up most of the space I guess. I hope the baby won't mind. So, I started by going to Ikea to get the cheapest pillow (for its filling) and a cosy, white blanket. 

I used this tutorial, followed it carefully but managed to mess things up anyway (the belly piece fell under the table and was completely forgotten) so our lady whale now has only one fin, but I think it only makes her special. 

the forgotten piece

Kamil prepared and printed out all the pieces, otherwise I'd have to draw them myself and god knows what creature that would have made. 

 

Apart from all the crafting going on we also started collecting some baby clothes. Since I'm not feeling a hundred percent I thought there is no point waiting until the very end to get all the stuff. It's also super exciting to pick all these tiny outfits, little socks and hats. Let's be honest...I just couldn't resist and my feeling a bit worse was just a perfect excuse :)

And the most exciting event that's happening this friday iiiis....Roxy's wedding. We are really looking forward to it. These paper flowers are just a little sneek peek of what's going to be one of the prettiest weddings I've been to. More pictures to come. 

And speaking of previews, here's one of our flat. The makover is slowly coming to an end. There are some final touches left but hopefully, within the next few days, we'll finally have a new flat. Yay!

 Have a fabulous day!

Are women really magpies?

Since Kamil shared some kitchen ideas with you, I'm going to share a bit of girly stuff then :) well, technically  it's not for girls only.
I have been a huge fan of Lilou jewelery for some time now. It has become insanely popular in Poland recently. I love the simplicity of the design and the variety of combinations you can choose from. Plus, you can have anything you want engraved on it. As one of the wedding gifts from my brother and his wonderful wife we received Lilou bracelets, with the date of our wedding and our names engraved on little boy and little girl shaped charms. Ever since, we've never ever taken them off. I'm in love with mine and Kamil got used to his very quickly, too. For us it's a lovely reminder of the day we got married but apart from that I just love having jewelery like this on my wrist. I know this makes me a typical woman but I want moooooore. I got an email from my friend today, who's as crazy about these bracelets as I am...she informed me she got another one...oh how jealous I was :) does it make me a bad friend? I'm already saving money to get another one, first wedding anniversary coming soon, always a good excuse.
