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
