It’s a boy!
April 7, 2010
The envelope has been opened and it’s a boy! Oscar is going to have a little brother come August and I have some nursery planning to do. I’m almost finished this blue owl mobile (available as kits) with robots on it which I love but I’m feeling like I need a whole new theme for this bubba. Aeroplanes and fluffy clouds are high on the list at the moment but I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make a plane out of socks… hmmm…
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

Thanks Emma!

Congratulations welcome to the ‘two boy’ club! Very exciting!! I love that Robot print. Was going to make some little owls to send as extras to my nephews in the New Baby’s present but couldn’t find any nice suitable material up here
Do you get yours on-line??
April 8, 2010 at 9:14 AM
Thanks Jenni! The robot print was from retromummy.com but it is an old one and I only got a metre or so from her
I think there’s such a lack of cool prints for boys!

Congratulations – and of course you can make a plane – you are the sock whisperer….
April 8, 2010 at 9:13 AM
LOL Jodie you are too kind… I really don’t think I’m at sock whisperer level just yet.

Congratulations 2 boys are lovely.. mine are the best of mates and I’m sure yours will be too.
April 8, 2010 at 9:12 AM
Thank you I really hope they’ll be mates! My hubby is one of 5 boys and they’re all very close so fingers crossed.
April 7, 2010 at 4:52 PM
forgot to say love the robot winged owls as well!

COngrats girl!
April 7, 2010 at 6:45 PM
Oh congratulations! I shall wait with baited breath to see what flying machines you can create from the humble sock
April 7, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Strangely, I have absolutely no doubt you could fashion a plane out of a sock. Or a rocket. Or a solar system. Or fluffy clouds for that matter. Congratulations Mum!

Awwww… thanks Tania

How fun for Oscar to have a little brother to play with.
Congratulations to all of you.

He is very excited Andi but I don’t know how much he’ll like sharing the limelight when #2 actually arrives.

Congrats to you Claire and your family. How lovely to have 2 boys together, they will grow up to be great mates Im sure. I wouldnt be surprised at all if you made a sock aeroplane, you made a seagull!
April 8, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Thanks Sue, I’m going to give it a shot!
April 7, 2010 at 10:01 PM
They will be able to play Pirates together… *Aaharrr Me Mateys* Loving those socks. You can do an aeroplane… EASY!!

I can see them both making me walk the plank now!
April 7, 2010 at 10:08 PM
Awesome news – double boys are the best!! Congratulations
April 8, 2010 at 9:09 AM
Thank you!

Congratulations! So exciting. If anyone could make an airplane out of socks it would be you…looking at what you’ve done with the sausage dog, the real question will be can you get the sock airplane to fly??? -kb
April 8, 2010 at 9:09 AM
A flying sock plane… that sounds like a challenge Kelly, I’m up for it!
April 7, 2010 at 11:48 PM
Congratulations, little boys are wonderful, such cuddly little treasures. I loved Jodie’s response “sock Whisperer”….
April 8, 2010 at 9:09 AM
Awww thanks Linda, the sock whisperer… I’m not sure I’m at that level just yet!
April 8, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Woohoo! Congrats Claire, baby boys are just irresistable.
April 8, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Testing Testing… 1…2…3!!

April 8, 2010 at 10:08 PM
yay for you! How exciting, terrific news. I am so sure of your ability to make a plane from a sock, I dare you to try it.
April 9, 2010 at 3:11 PM
yay for boys!
Sorry I didn’t say a proper hello at billiecart the other week. It looked like you had your hands full and then I blinked and you were gone.
April 9, 2010 at 3:48 PM
ahhh yes… that would have been the screaming toddler! Had to make a speedy exit before he tore the place apart… which makes me wonder how I’m going to cope with two little boy terrors! eeek!
April 9, 2010 at 4:22 PM
Congratulations Claire!!
Have you chosen the name ?
April 9, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Thank you! Not yet, there’s a few possibilities floating around but nothing definite.
April 10, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Congrats and I hope you are both truly happy. I know Oscar will be when his little brother arrives and Oscar gets to be a big brother. Big responsibility for him. Lots of happy thoughts, Magdalena <3
April 10, 2010 at 3:34 PM
woohoo! I think oscar is going to be much happier you’re bringing a blue bundle home with you! well done!
