4 and a bit weeks....

He's 5 weeks this Tuesday and has started talking to us with his cooes and gurgles....it's just so gorgeous....there's more personality developing everyday!....and already learning about being nerdy....
Nothing else to report, because I really haven't done anything else except look after the snorglet....you know the daily routine of washing his clothes and spew rags and bottles.

I've been tempted to place a Bendy order, because they've just introduced a new range of yarn that has 10ply!!....be still my beating heart....but it's so hard to justify buying more yarn when I have noooooo time to knit and I have a wardrobe full of yarn as it is....hmm, maybe just a few balls then....it's 10ply....it'll knit up quick!!!....I can get a ball or 2 to knit Hugh something....damn, I just want to buy YARN!!!!

A day at the park

Well, it was more like 20 minutes!....he had a few adventures over easter, fresh baked Hot Cross Buns at our friends Joh and Sarah's on Friday, Gran's on Saturday for a quick visit, the Park on Sunday and a trip to the shops on Monday, but only because mummy and daddy had run out of food!

He's 3 weeks old now and it feels like we've known him forever....still getting used to the lack of sleep and the odd bit of random screaming here and there....but the lil monkey blessed us with 6 straight hours of sleep last night, after a very grumpy pants day....missed his 4am feed and everything!

He's already growing up

2 weeks old now....

And Hugh makes three

He's home safe and sound....and such a tooty frooty cutie....already has a little personality, even if does involve vast amounts of banshee-like screaming.

Everything went smoothly....I'm still a bit sore and sorry, but is to be expected....though the doctors reckon the c-section was text-book!....woo!!

Tomorrow's the day.

And it still hasn't hit me!....and I still haven't packed.

I'm all booked in, just have to call later to confirm what time bub will be scheduled to make his appearance.

Paul's more nervous about it all than I am....bit fingernail-chewy, he says.

Bet I'm the one that doesn't sleep tonight though!

Hmm, I've become inspired

After photographing the fabrics I got yesterday, I've decided to catalogue ALL my fabrics on my flickr page....that way I won't forget what I have....and seeing as there's a truck load of the stuff, I'm VERY inclined to forget what I have.

Anyway, here's what $45 at Spotty can get you....

2 cute as all get out things for the niblet, only bought 1m of each....but he'll be little for a while!....I'll easily get a pair of jammies and a shirt out of each metre!




The next lot are for me....probably peasanty style tops for next summer....they're all cotton, bought about 1.5m of each....hoorah, more things to add to my stash....at least it's not yarn!

Sometimes you're just meant to go somewhere....

Had a bit of a holy crap, do a happy dance moment today and it had nothing to do with the soon to be niblet.

I finally got in the car and went and visited The Remnant Warehouse in Alexandria today....I was initially spurred on by the 20% off everything email I got from Spotty....but I never made it that far.

I've been meaning to go this place since it was in Marrickville, but never made it....but I am soooooo glad I did today, regardless of how much someone kicked and carried on in protest....because they stock Heather Bailey fabrics!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, so maybe that isn't all that exciting for any of you, but I did a little inside happy dance when I saw them! I've read Heather's blog for ages now and have been lamenting the state of the dollar for ages, wanting to get my hands on some of her prints, they really are just amazing.


The top 2 prints are from Heather Bailey, can't remember who's the bottom one is at the moment.

I also picked up this cute border embroidered fabric, $4 for 2m....complete bargain and will make a cute summer top.

I think the 3 prints will become A-line skirts, once the stomach expansion is over and I become something resembling my former self.

Oh and this place also stocks Amy Butler and Kaffe Fasset fabrics too....I could have spent so much more....squeeeeeeeee!
