Firstly, apologies for not replying to your lovely comments on my post of Theo´s one month birthday, I am certainly counting down the days, can´t wait for some Grandma hugs and daughter cuddles too. Today is the first day for a week I have felt human again. Chris went down with a nasty cold and bless him, he kindly shared it, I did say he didn´t have to share everything!
Today I received a message sent about 5am from Rebecca, not that I saw it that early, she was obviously up with Theo, anyway she sent a link and said Mum I know you are clever, (flattery gets her everywhere) could you make some of these for Theo please.
Well Theo is brilliant at doing what all little boys do when you take their nappy off, usually resulting in a complete outfit change etc and a face full if you are not careful
I checked out the link, thought what a good idea, yep can do some of those
I also checked out the usual one stop, very large company that supplies all and found that they wanted 9.99 for 3 with different variations, no way! with a little time, patience and a good rummage through the stash, we could do this
So I set too,
I was pleased as it took me out of feeling sorry for myself and gave me something to focus on that was useful and removed some of the cotton wool that had somehow replaced my brain
What on earth is she talking about, you may ask.....
Well they are called pee pee teepees or wee wee wigwams, take your pick
Little production line
They are basically one piece of cotton and one of toweling and they do pass the water test (pardon the pun) I used a syringe to test them
So with a certain piece of anatomy encased, hopefully it will help
I also finished off the little blanket that she asked for, ran out of yarn, but hope its ok, so I am going to send a little parcel off tomorrow, I know I can take them over with me but it´s always nice to get a little something in the post and then she doesn´t have to wait so long
this is folded in 4
I shall await the results of the wigwams!
I do hope that all of you in the Uk are ok after the devastating storm Dennis
take care

haha, I have never heard or seen the wigwams.... and I love the blanket you made. Glad you are feeling better, these colds and flu's can knock it out of us...

Neither had I, I certainly hope they work, really simple but effective idea if they do. xcx
DeleteSorry you've been unwell, and hope you are well on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteThose wigwams seem a very good idea, and the blanket you've made looks great.
All the best Jan
Little by little, takes so long to feel right again. Rebecca wanted a blanket that was wide enough to swaddle, hope it fits the bill xcx
DeleteI hope you're feeling better soon. Goodness, they think of everything these days. I remember those days very well where you had to quickly grab a cloth to avoid getting a squirt in the eye, haha. I'm sure Rebecca will be pleased with those, and the lovely blanket too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, there are so many things out there that were never around when my two were little, some seem to be not very practical but others are, just thought they were expensive to buy. The parcel was sent with any luck it may arrive for Thursday xcx
DeleteI am sorry to hear that you have been unwell, I am glad to hear that you are feeling a little better now. Love the little wigwams, hope Rebecca finds them useful!
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet aren´t they, my only thought was he is such a little wriggler will they stay put? xcx
DeleteDear Chrissie
ReplyDeleteHope you will soon feel fully recovered. The teepees seem like a very good idea!
Best wishes
Ellie
Thank you, I shall report back on her findings xcx
