Baby Memory Box Prototypes

These are my trail runs for the memory boxes I'll be selling through Zebrog Baby Gifts and Accessories.  I have made these up with my daughter's own birth items, but clients would supply their own items for me to make up the boxes.


When they're ready they'll be available via my ETSY SHOP.



This is a 30x30 cm pine frame, just a nice simple pink paper background to match the white and pink baby items inside, this is with a newborn sized baby grow, hat ad the wrist and ankle tags from the hospital .  I am wanting to add a little print out card with baby details on for the top centre too.




This is a larger 40x40 black frame.  This is made up of my daughter's premature sized items, this was the only way to make a body suit fit fully, the newborn sized ones and 0-3+ need folding like in the first image.  The extra bits you see here are: an oxygen mask hat, size 0 nappy, wrist tag, incubator card and monitor clip.  Again i think this one needs a little card at the top centre, mabies a colourful one to offset the blank background.  Either that or I need to find some big card to use as a backdrop.  


Hummm... anyways as I said this ones work in progress, things are very busy at the minute setting up the ETSY shop, and Ive spent quite a bit of time in hospital again recently so I'm poorly again....  :(

Just a quick announcement today, we now have an Etsy shop! 

 Ive been busy the last few months making lots of bibs and bonnets as well as many gifts for the Zebrog company.    Here is a quick preview and we should have some tutorials up soon ( If little one lets me on the computer and doesnt "help" too much )











Most of these are in my new Etsy shop and Facebook (as of January 2014)  but some were donated at Christmas to the Special Care Baby Unit at my local hospital in Durham where my baby spent the first 28 days of her life.  We gave a bag full of my makes and some teddies to the unit for the babies Christmas stocking, because last year that meant a lot to us!


This is the link to my Etsy shop



And I'm adding a little reccomendation this time too, as this lady helped me out with some USA import stuff.
