My sister-in-law's baby shower was so much fun! I don't think I've ever been around so many ladies before in my life, but it was very enjoyable. We pretty much just spent the whole afternoon drinking tea and eating cake.
I made the cake above for the occasion - it's a raspberry sponge, with cream icing. And I also made a cuddly cat for my very-nearly-here niece!
Below are the stages of making - my mock-up which created the pattern, and all the adjustments I needed to make scribbled all over it! Taking it apart and using it as a pattern to cut out the lovely soft fleecy material; making the head and using stickers to show where the eyes and nose would go; the body all sewn up, front and back; and finally the finished product! I'm pretty pleased with it, and everyone was impressed that I made it! :)

:o I want that cake in my belly right now. It looks so good!
I definitely want to try and make one of those kitties, they look like they would make such good Christmas gifts. And I wouldn't mind a family of them for myself.
I am slowly turning mine and Kyle's bedroom into my dream room. Next: fairy lights MUAHAHA.
