So I'm not the best blogger in the world but its been kinda hard these past couple of weeks as i have found it quite hard not to spend every moment looking at our daughter! Ray has been great, i couldn't have asked for a better partner and father for Isabelle. I hope he knows how grateful i am and how much i love him. Its unbelievable how much they change in so little time. SJ

After only four years of struggling to see on this 18 count aida i have finally finished the alphabet bumble bee sampler..... I think this has something to do with the fact that there is a little one on the way and if it pops out a girl then this will be ideal for the nursery if its a boy then at least i have something put away for the next one :) although that wont be for some time!

Well hello there! Its been a very long time since i've posted here and let me just say that i've missed it :). I've been keeping up with the blogs i read, i just haven't had the motivation to do much crafting over the last year or so. However that has changed because i am going to be mum and the ideas have been coming in by the boat load. Blankets, bumpers, nappy bags, toys and i might even try making some clothing! But first i thought i'd finish the projects i already had on the go, like the pooh bear blankets i started for rays niece and nephew..... This is the quilt top, just waiting for the wadding to come and it will be complete! SJ

I HAVE FINISHED BOTH POOH BEARS!!!! Sorry got a little over excited, but they are finally done and i can now start on the quilt its self! i love this part! Still playing around trying to figure out how to place it. SJ

My baby boy! He's noisy, tiring, demanding, never stops crying and yet he's everything i wanted.... We named him BOLT, Don't ask me why his daddy liked the name so i said OK because we'd already been though 100 others, plus the other hundred we went through trying to figure out a name for his sister, who has a new home with my BF's dad. We were actually looking for a border collie for his dads 50Th birthday prezzie but i fell i love with this little guy so ray bought me him! His sister is named bonnie after about a week and a half of having no name and being called puppy! no pictures of her as yet, because she never sits still! Bolt, on the other hand seems to sleep more than anything else! I swear he actually believes he's a baby! We've had him two weeks now and he's already learnt where he can and can not pee, and so stop and the road side when told! lol (can you tell that he has taken over my life?) However there is one bonus to a dog that likes to sl...

I haven't been up to much lately mostly just working and trying my hardest to get rid of this bleeding cold! I'm just sick of it now lol! In between working and sleeping i have done a little stitching on a new project for my BF's niece and nephew. Two blankets one blue, one pink and knowing how long it takes me to get myself in gear im going to make these big enough for toddlers even though their currently only 6 months old lol.
