...tidy house...

...my crafting room is no longer... it's lil sister's room now... so as my desk and supplies are now in the (very visible) living area of the house - here is some of the organising/ pretty-ing of stuff into spaces acheived in last few weeks while being STAH mum with nothing better to do...?!?.... yay for milo tins, jam/ coffee jars, old giftwrap and craft glue... was planning for a theme to encompass the whole desk... didn't really happen.... one area silver/ white, one red, one BRIGHT, one blues/greens... but at least it's all recycled...

...baby incoming...

... bought, washed, dried, folded - 3 dozen cloth nappies.... hopefully to a size to fit a 'little' newborn girl... and now to make the overnaps... hard to find a downloadable pattern that doesn't say "measure your baby".... my obstetrician measured her head and tummy circumference and said she's 'little'... but doesn't really help me fitting overnaps...

In my age, monsieur, one is never well. Especially on the holidays.

...baby head support...

...I was a bit bored... and wanted one of these... so my old trackie daks have started a new life.... decorated while talking to my brother in Afghanistan... with love obviously...

... canvases...

...big brother loving... he brought home an awesome creation from school... so I asked him to do something similar... on canvas... in bubba's colour schemes for her room...

...fish mobile...

...ok so I've already shared this one on FB but it took me a long while to get it right - to where I was happy with it...

...baby shower book...

.. my friend held a baby shower for us... we were totally spoilt!! .... realised how many fabulous ladies I can lay my hands on here even if they aren't my sister, my mum, my cousin, my gran... this was my contribution...still a work in progress...

....um....hello...

...so I'm totally brand new to this blog thingee... but inspired by Jenny, Rhiannon and Clare... and most importantly my new stay-at-home mum status... have decided to share some of my life and crafty stuff too... so here goes!

...empress quote...

I'm an empress.
I wear an apron.
My typewriter writes.
It didn't break the way it warned.
Even crazy, I'm as nice
as a chocolate bar.
