Oh so tired!

The third trimester tiredness has definately kicked in, and Miss E's antics on Christmas Eve didn't help! Little miss decided not to sleep AT ALL! She finally fell asleep at 6:00 am and I had to get up at 9:00 am to get things ready for Christmas Lunch! I really have no idea why she did it all I know is that pregnant women are not meant to stay up all night! I am still suffering for it!

On a happier note, I have heaps of projects that I want to start. the problem is which do I start first! DH bought me a cutting mat and rotary cutter so I am keep to start a little dolls quilt for Miss E. I also have a stack more newborn nappies to sew and only 8 weeks until D Day! I wonder if I will still have time to do all my creative things when I have 2 children...I am praying for a sleepy baby!

I also got some gorgeous yarn from 'The Yarn Cafe' in Mulbery. I was going to make another soaker for Miss E but I love it too much so it is going to be a beanie for me! I think i will use this pattern, or maybe this one.
I made my SIL a bag for Christmas but unfortunately silly me gave it to her before I took a pic! I might have to get her to come and visit with the bag so i can get a pic! I have plans to make a few more of the bags too. I want one myself and I have some fabric which will be prefect for my other 2 SIL's, oh and my mum wants one too! It is the flea market bag pattern by Grand Revival.

The fabrics for the bags.

Oh and I have also been knitting this little jacket for the new baby. I'm about halfway there I think, or maybe a bit less. It is so lovely and soft. It is in BWM 8ply cotton in Parchment.

Family Holiday

We have just had the most wonderful relaxing weekend away in Swansea. We stayed in a lovely cabin by the beach and had lovely weather. It was so nice to not have so much to do and be able to just relax! Here a few of my fave pics!

Not enough cream?

So what do you think? I was picturing it with more cream in it. I do like it though. I think it will look very pretty on Miss E with a white singlet/top on a summers day!

I have also finished this PK soaker in Vintage Hues.

Not much else going on here. Just lots of pregnany aches and pains! The heartburn is getting kind of annoying!

Strawberries and Cream

I finally decided which dye-up to send as my SS pressent! I actually like the one I am sending better than this one so I am hoping she likes it too!

So much to make! So little time!

My to do list seems to be growing by the minute! I do have some things to get done by Christmas so i think they will have to be bumped to the top of the list. I am waiting on the pattern and fabrics for the bags I am going to make for Christmas presents so meanwhile I am doing more knitting!

I finished the jumper for Miss E and I am very happy with it! It didn't take me as long as I thought it might which is great as if it was taking too long I think i might have moved on to another project!

I did a couple of dye ups last night too! One is for my EB secret santa but I still haven't decided which so no pics yet!

Something for me!

We had a warm day here yesterday and I had nothing to wear that I would be comfortable in and was ok to go out in so....I made myself a top! I used the same tutorial as I did for Miss E's top I made a while ago. I didn't do a great job with the finishing off so I'm not sure it will last that long but I like it and it is nice and cool!!!

I am well into a jumper for Miss E now. It is the Boatneck Sweater from Baby Knits for Beginners by Debbie Bliss. VERY easy to make so far! Just hopeing the sewing up goes well!

Secret Santa!

I just want to say a huge thankyou to my secret santa! I recieved some lovely yarn and lots of other goodies. I really didn't expect to be so spoilt!

So Miss E and I have been very spoilt!
