It's been awhile

Let's see... since the last post.... surprise.... I had another baby! Looking at the blog it seems like it was only yesterday I had one child... but it's been almost a year... better get crackin' on more posts then... tomorrow............ ;)

HURRAH TIS FINISHED... sorry been away .... must.... finish.... knitting.... oh .... no.... more ..... knitting.....

well finished the duchess dress... turned out beautifully... i havent been assed to put in the ribbon.. oh well she wears it anyways.... the only thing i will change when i make a bigger size is trying to find a yarn that is a bit more hard wearing... the debblie bliess cashmerino aran is beautiful but pulls and fluffs up when it comes into contact with velcro.... not good when your bubba wears cloth nappes with pul covers... hmmmm.... still beautiful though..

so now i am on to mums mothers day noro scarf... a sweeter, lighter version of my dark noro scarf... very pretty..... and very late...

yay! i joined suicide girls... hurrah... people like me.... managed to join some cool knitting groups on ravelry as well....

awesome!

Dress... i got carried away

Anika and I went to sunspun. I couldnt help myself... all of my spending money is gone... oh well... soooooooooo worth it.

I bought Enchanted by Louisa Harding, It has the pattern for Duchess in it. and i started making it last night. I saw the blood red and went "that's it!" it's gonna be great!



I am really retarded when i knit at the moment. As soon as i discovered i had been knitting incorrectly, trying to rectify it has been a nightmare, and i just don't feel comfy doing it at the moment. I know it's just breaking the old habit... it has to be done... i sound as if i am coming off drugs or something... haha... well it's my addiction... hahaha

New cardie .. sleep school

I think Anika and I will visit sunspun this arvo... i need another project to go onto ... i am thinking Louisa Hardings duchess dress... very pretty.. i think red is the colour for that project... i nice blood red... mmmmm nice...




i managed to finish the crochet cardie i had been workingon for 2 months... it just needs buttons... i am thinking wooden ones... they would look real nice...



Yay! we are back from sleep school, was on the waiting list. Went really well.... anika 'sometimes' puts herself to sleep during the day... night times are awesome, if she wakes she resettles herself she doesnt need our assistance and i wake her up once for a feed and nappy change... yay! i am finally getting some sleep... it's amazing how good you feel after having sleep..... remembering that it is used as a torture device ... well the lack of it anyway....

Anika and Dad after a nap at sleep school.... she was so proud hehe

MMMMMMm Cupcakes

I made cupcakes the other night... alas they are all gone, bar one which i have saved for my husband! hehehe....
They look like dog poo turds though.... but.... they are tasty enough so i ate them all...



Dan is looking after Anika this afternoon, not quite sure what I will do... maybe go to lincraft... i wanted to go to Sunspun but they are closed on Sundays... oh well... lincraft or spotlight here i come!

The funniest ebay feedback.....

of all time.... look here.

EVIL MOTHERS UNITE!

Man i love my gal pals in syd! I get a bit sad occasionally knowing that i cannot just pop in to see how they are going or join in on the get togethers... but i am there in spirit! These are some of the awesomest chicks i have ever met! We also enjoy making fun of our kids... in a good way of course! Tis our Evil Mothers Unite group on facebook! Moohahahaha

These gals also make me feel human again... I suppose you can speak to any mother and they could tell you of a time when they didn't quite feel themselves, for a number of reasons. Lack of sleep, depression, no time for themselves. Speaking to my friends gets me feeling my crazy normal sane self as opposed to my crazy normal insane self. Love you girls!

Anika and I went for a 4 hour walk today... to the shops, around the shops, and back home.... took the camera with me of course.... i love looking at the flowers........see pic above.
...... Anika had a nice nap too.
