Baby entertainment

I made Linus a taggy-cuddle today, which hopefully will keep him entertained for a bit of our journey to France. I'd been wanting to make one for sometime. I quite like how this turned out, but we'll just have to see whether Linus will enjoy it.

When Simon was a baby he absolutely LOVED tags. He loved fidgeting about with them, rubbing them between his fingers. His favourite cuddly toy was worthless without its tag. I made him a couple of toys/cloths to play with then. See these photos if you want to see some of my old skool crafting :)
Linus hasn't shown much interest in tags yet. He does like grabbing stuff and putting them to his face. He likes to cuddle and that's why I made a little pillow for him.

I added the bright spots for a bit of interest, like any baby he likes colours and contrasts. Except for the nursery's curtains, I've used the tree fabric before to make pouches. I still love it. The fairytale ribbons are from Retrosaria. Love them too.

Here is the little man testing out his new toy... yum!

Something else that's yum...

That is so great....Taggies are a big hit here in the UK...you could make them and sell them.
