Cuddly cashmere...

Ida wearing the jumper Sam wore yesterday

Yesterday was the little ones Christmas Party (Anna and I met at NCT and we've remained friends with the group ever since) and we all put on our glad rags to go and play at Italian Stallions house!

Now all the little ones looked especially dashing in their party clothes, the show was stolen by Anna's youngest naughty, SamSam.

Sam turned up, with his light blonde hair glistening in the winter sunshine tousled by the windy journey from the car to the door. A big smile on his face and draped in silver cashmere!

He was wearing one of Yarmood's children's jumpers (I want an adult sized one and one for DangerBaby) and he looked like he'd just stepped out of a fashion shoot.

Now I didn't have my camera to hand (eeek!) but you'll have to use your imagination!

The soft roll neckline and cuffs of these jumpers mean that the jumper is free to move with the child in a way that is sympathetic to them. Hence creating the effect usually only seen on fashion shoots and in movies. The soft cashmere was keeping him warm (too warm for the very well heated house, so the jumper soon came off) and the design of the jumper made SamSam look very dashing indeed.

Now I've seen Ida & Sam wear the jumper over the past 2 (nearly 3 years) and it still looks as good as it did when I saw them wear it for the very first time!

So for a stylish, practical gift that lasts; a cashmere baby jumper is a perfect gift to open on a cold and crispy Christmas morning.

Baby it's cold outside

Since it's all wintery outside, I'm going to dedicate today's blog to things that keep you all snuggly and warm:

Get ahead, get a hat

We have a number of lovely winter hats and bonnets handmade by the lovely ladies at Nyoki. Choose a bamboo, kid mohair or cotton hat to keep you little one all snuggly and warm during this cold snap!

Natural soft fabrics to regulate temperatures

It's very important to keep little one's core temperature at the right temperature. Make sure that your little one is dressed in natural fibres - they breathe with your baby's skin.

Cashmere is wonderful for keeping baby at the right temperature, and is wonderfully soft on their delicate skin!

Wrap little ones up

Layer blankets to keep little one the right temperature! If baby feels cold add a blanket, if they feel hot take one off. 

Cotton blankets are best for baby, top off your blankets with a lovely Shuktara kantha stitched blanket - a beautiful and practical way to keep baby warm!

Stay in where's it's all cosy!

Make your little one's room all cosy and warm, snuggle down with a book and stay in all nice and warm!
Dangerbaby and I can be found on the sofa in her room under her FatHenandFlo memory quilt reading Dr. Seuss! Oooh cosy.

(Cushions as well as quilts available!)
