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.

why is it that....

Yes,, why is it that everytime i want to be quiet because Anika is asleep i make the most noise??? i bang into things, break plates, stub my toes blablabla... why????!!!!!????!!!!

i know some parents say that you have to get your child used to noise... but i seriously now think that they either dont care or do care. i think now that all kids are different and should be treated as such. i can do my damndest to try and not care about the noise etc but it won't work.... i have tried countless times.. she hates it when she is tired.... and gets grumpier and its harder to put her to bed.


Man i love her. By the way check out my friend steph's myspace page.. moobear designs.. she was nice enough to send us a fab moobear t-shirt. Steph recycles clothing to make fab new kids t-shirt designs...... moobeardesigns. Love ya steph!!!!

pic of mergatroyd the dolly!!! from the knitty website!

she's sooooo pretty!!! hehe

It's been awhile.....

Well i have now found the time to write. Been trying to play with munchkin and knit at the same time. I am knitting her a doll. It... hopefully... is going to be awesome!

I have also decided that from now on when crafting I will be only using good quality materials. So, if that means paying 4 x as much for a ball of yarn... then so be it. The outcome is always sooooooooooooooooo much better when i have done it in the past. There is not doubt about it... the better the materials .. the better the product!!!!! So for the dolly, I am using Debbie Bliss's Baby Cashmerino. Needed around 4.5 balls ... a different colour for each... at 12.00 a ball... you can work it out... ouch! But soooooo worth it now that i am seeing the pieces that i am making.... soooooo soft. I didnt want to make her a doll that was itchy... you know?!?!?!?!

Seems like Anika's reflux isnt hurting her as much anymore! The spewing every 5 secs is still there. I havent been as good with giving her her medicine ... this is to see whether or not she might still need it and what the doctor advised.. So far she is doing well on less... so i will continue with that for a week and see how we go...

see below for link to dolly..... her name will be Mergatroyd .... hehehe
