Gonna be sneaky

I made this today & am going to drop it off to Trish with out her knowing.

hehehe

Been meaning to post this for days

The other day I bought the boys a tennis toy, you know those ones that have a tennis ball on the end of a rope & you hit it around a pole? Anyway it was raining & Evan wanted to go & have a turn seems it was new so when there was a break in the rain we went out & stuck it in the ground. Because it was wet & was wearing sandles my foot slipped off the foot peg you stand on to push it into the ground. OMFG did it hurt! I screamed & expected to look down & see half my skin torn off. But it didn't break the skin but must of hit a vain or something because in the moment it happened to when I looked down this had popped out the side of my foot! Not a great photo but the area on foot is along the side at the top of the arch in my foot.

Now this happened on Thursday last week & this is the bruise I have. I took the photo yesterday.

Funnily enough its not actually all that painful, just looks it!

Newspaper Version

Nappy Karma

What goes around comes around & I was lucky enough to be on the recieving end this time.

Shannon made Isla these beautiful Longies. I love them. Thank you so Much Shannon!

FLUFFY MAIL!

I got Isla Christmas Tree cover today. Maz is very talanted! Its so cute.

I also wanted to post some photos of Glenn. He is looking so grown up lately. He is now fully day & night toilet trained which means I will never need to buy a disposable nappy again!

.

And then we have Evan. He is off to School next year. Its gone so fast. Here he is with his best friend Oliver. Just so you know, Oliver was performing for his preschool which is why he is dressed up.

Oh & just one more of Isla. This is the Apple AIO I got for her.

How the boys sleep

Evan takes after Simon in so many ways. Its funny that even in his sleep he takes after his Dad. How anyone can sllep with their head buried in the blankets is beyond me! The little one in the middle is Fatbo. The boys both have a toy "Fimbo" off the kids show the fimbles. Evan has a little one known as Bobo or Thinbo & Glenn has a bigger ome called Big Bobo or Fatbo LOL.

Music For Maz

I thought this was a really cute idea for a cover for Maz's little sunshine. Im not a massive fan of Elvis nor do I know if Maz is but Sunshine will be born on the kings birthday so I thought this was appropriate. Its made using a velour finsih Malden Mills fleece (windpro I think) with a cute rabbit microfleece inner. The Music is done using my normal sewing machine (free hand at that!) and is a side snap with royal blue snaps to finish. Oh the music has an extra layer of MM fleece behind it to prevent leaks.

I hope you like!

The Fog

Simon took this from the back steps at about 3 in the afternoon.

Day dreamer

I was lucky enough to be able to take home one of the Wildchild Day Dreamers to try on Isla (Thank you so much Michelle). Here she is trying it out. Its a nice fit but I don't need to cross the wings over at all. I may look at trying one of the toddler sizes next simply to get the longest fit I can out of them. I like to upsize everythign LOL.

Oh & just so you can see, this is how well the Wildchild Plus fits when I fan out the boosters.

She is wearing a posum pouch wool soaker over the top & then the bonds suit & I think that looks pretty trim to me!

Happy First Birthday My little Isla.

Well Isla turns 1 today. Her first year has by far gone the fastest of any of my children. It seems only yesterday that we gave birth to sucha happy, conent, bubbly, beautiful little girl. She has so much love in her little heart, she greets you with a smile every time she sees you.
We held a birthday party for her on Sunday just past, here she is in her Little Red Riding hood Dress

Here she is a little unsure in her Party Hat.

Here is her Mermaid Dolly Cake, Thank you to my Nan who always does a fantastic job on the kids first birthday cakes!

Growing up I had (still have) a Dolly called Suzie. She was my Black Mumma doll. I think every little girl should have a black dolly. So I helped Isla pick one out with her birthday money from Nanna & Grandad (Simons Parents)

She also got a new Night nappy. Its a WildChild Dreamy night PLUS. I had another of these but in the smaller size that I sold on. The Plus version is a much better fit for Isla. Very happy with it.

I will post more later, we are saving her birthday presents for today till Simon gets home from work.

We Love you Isla, Happy Birthday!
