Sewing on a Saturday :D

I woke up this morning in a very grumpy mood, even more grumpy than the day before (hmmm) so I had to decide quick smart how I was going to calm myself a bit and occupy Lucas !

Here's what I came up with:

Lucas played with his playdough

and I sewed a reversible doona cover for the baby's room, I am really happy with how it turned out, but can't take photos in the cot yet as the rest of the room isnt ready for the grand "unveiling"

Hope you are all having a good afternoon, I think a stiff drink and a full nights sleep un-interupted by toilet stops is what I need right now, Oh well, only another 4 weeks to go!

More Ear Problems

Hi All,

Well there is yet again no sleep happening in our home, poor Lucas has developed another infection in the ear that still has the grommet and glue ear in the one that lost its grommet!! so more antibiotics. It is making for a very tired, grumpy family at the moment.

So after reading Maree's post yesterday about having whingy kids and baking cookies, we did the same at 7.15 this morning!! LOL

Here are the finished product.

Yummmoo
