The nursery is finally complete. I started working on it months ago, chipping away at the to-do list slowly when I had free time. In the photos above you can also see the crib mobile that I hand-sewed. It has a small motor at the top that spins and plays nursery music too.

Before commencing with some cheater Easter lunch. I enjoyed myself and the streak of finding eggs is still going strong! All in.

Domestic craft, past and present. There is no better way to spend a bank holiday Monday than with a good novel. I found this wonderful cake stand in a charity shop for 3.
