Introducing... Thomas Edgar

Born at 11.54 on 22 July
Weighing 3.705 Kg and 52cm long

Mum is exhausted and bub is constantly hungry but both fine....

Another project fininshed..

Just a little something for the MIL Christine, full of little bits she loves.
I know because she gave the charms to me!
is it poor form to return gift if Ive created something new with the bits?

Rocking Chair... the makeover.

I've been lucky enough to be given my Great-Great-Grandfathers Rocking Chair... its been sitting in my Nan's garage for the last 20 or so years and in her fathers garage for goodness knows how long before that.

Not any more!
Now it will be in prime position for Bub's feeding and attempted sleep time.

Once again the trusty FIL Bruce has engineered me some cushions for me to cover...

For my first foray into patchwork, Ive gone for basic squares in random shades of 'black' cause i seem to have a heap of it... Not sure if i really like it but it will do the job nicely for the moment... now i just need to finish them

I am a creative genius. In my own mind anyway..

Last night i got it into my head that i really didn't want to lug around a suitcase full of baby paraphernalia everywhere i go and just want a small nappy bag for those super quick outings here and/or there.

and i managed to pull this out from somewhere...

Using an old belt for the strap, fabric salvaged from mums back room and the MIL's attic, its great for popping out the door at a moments notice... just the way i like it.

Its almost done!

Check it out its awesomeness...
Super big props to FIL Bruce for the frame, and big pat on the back to me for winging the bag and actually getting the measurements right...

It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits! It Fits!
Super happy fun dance!

Words and Pictures - Green

There is nothing more that i wish for this spring, than to be a porch monkey with my family in my uber comfy green deck chair..

and looking at our cool plants... not sure what they are, but they are most certainly cool.

Thanks meet me at mikes for this weeks words and pictures, its reminded me of the simple things.

Too cute

Found my 2 boys having an afternoon snooze in the sun yesterday... very Cute!
