I have moved

A change is as good as a holiday!  In order to combat my blogging drought, I've moved over here for a fresh start.

Come and join me!

Footy fever

I am well and truly afflicted with footy finals fever and just had to say....

GO SWANS!





Here's hoping for a good game tonight (and a win too!).  Also, congrats to Adam Goodes on his 300th game.  What a legend!

It's a boy!

So all is well here in the real world.  We just had our 19 week scan and found out we are having a boy!  The clothes shopping has now well and truly begun.

I am going to make some baby pants from this cool pattern and I just bought this book so I'm hoping this means the sewing bug has returned.

Does anyone know of any other cute baby boy sewing patterns?

Back on the wagon

Look, I made something!  Finally!  It took all of 30 minutes but I still got my lovely and neglected sewing machine out and gave her a whirl.

This cute little pencil holder is for a friend's little girl who is about to turn 2.  I think it's super cute and it makes me want to colour in.  I really loved to colour in.  It also makes me want to go back to Japan and buy some more fabric!

Maybe this means I'm back into sewing again.  Or maybe not.  I guess we'll have to wait and see....

A cupcake

With today being a typically horrible Melbourne Winter day I decided I might treat myself to a cupcake at lunchtime.  They have them at South Melbourne markets and I always eye them off but I never get one.  Never ever.  I am generally pretty good with not eating sugary, not-so-healthy foods but every now and then you have to have a treat, right?  Well...I got my lovely cupcake paid the lovely lady and started to walk away.  And then I dropped my lovely cupcake right on the ground!  At the markets.  On the dirty floor.  I very nearly cried.  I did in fact squeal.  I threw the lovely uneaten cupcake in the bin and then went back to work without a cupcake realizing that it just wasn't meant to be  went and bought another lovely cupcake feeling just a little bit silly.  The lovely lady told me, "there's always the 10 second rule".  Ummm...not when you're pregnant.  And not off the dirty floor of the markets.

Anyway, my cupcake was delicious.

The reason I've been MIA...

...is because I am almost 14 weeks pregnant.  Hooray!

So I have been feeling very tired and uninspired to craft / blog for the past couple of months.  I'm hoping I get some energy and inspiration back soon because I am really looking forward to crafting up some baby things.

And to answer the questions that everybody asks:

1.  I am due on Feb 1
2.  I haven't had much morning sickness at all - lucky me!
3.  Yes, we are going to find out the gender of the baby at the next scan

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll try and not be a stranger :)

another break in transmission

...and now here's a lazy attempt at a post.

Enjoy, and happy Friday!
