I have actually been pretty productive lately. I have a whole heap of new bags that I can't show yet because I still haven't taken photos of them, but I do have photos of a little gift pack I sent off recently to my Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law and their new little baby Angus. I really wanted to try and do a completely handmade pack of goodies to send them. Unfortunately with illness hitting the household at the time of the birth, it took me a little longer to finish everything, but I got there eventually. The pack included:* reversible bibs for little Angus - made with a mixture of reclaimed vintage and new japanese fabrics.
* cloth ball rattle - pattern found here. It was so super easy, and lots of fun (although I used felt for the circles on the end, which made it even easier!). I can't remember where I got the idea of using a cat toy for the rattle bit inside (i'm sure I read about it on a craft blog somewhere), but it worked a treat.
* casual market tote - just a little pressie for the new mum, whose favourite colour is purple (fabrics used are reclaimed purple linen, reclaimed wool fabric, and new Hollabee linen/cotton blend fabric with hand screenprinted rubine swirls. Strap was a recycled fabric belt, with vintage buttons for detail).
OK, so this is one short post (for me!). Look out everyone. I'm on fire!!!

I love the gifts you have put together, so thoughtful of you. The bag is delicious.
Love the gift collection! I need to get started on some bibs now too!
Gosh you have been creative! Such a lovely bundle of goodies. That's a lucky family to be receiving these gifts :)
Wow, they are all so wonderfull. What a lucky family, handmade gifts are always the best.
What a thoughtful little package Bec for a new bub and his mum! My auntie said once (after giving me 21 bibs ... yes, 21!!!!) "you can never have too many bibs" and I have since found out that she was right! Your bibs look great - love the ones with the bias strip around them.
You've been very productive. I love the bag & bibs. very cute.
