Sunday night blues

Gosh I'm in a grump! The weather has been dire this afternoon and despite being full of good food and surrounded by my loved ones my mood just couldn't be lifted. Then I tried to knot something which looked easy but I just couldn't do. Boooooo. I don't want to play any more. :(

A sunny day

What a delight! It makes such a difference to my mood when the sun shines! We've been to playgroup , the park and tonight we have my niece for a sleepover. I am exhausted but content. Every day should be like this . I've even had a chance to do some knitting . I like a lot!

A vegetarian day

An experiment..I have decided


for one week only (Maybe!) to let Tegan choose her own outfits. Quite often we argue in the morning about what she will wear and the more I think about it the more it seems unfair to FORCE my outfit choices on her. So this week she chooses. I will suggest warmer clothes if its cold outside etc but mainly it wiil be up to her....

Here is todays outfit. I may regret this experiment!!! lol!!!

There's a Christmas tree in my garden

And no not a planted one ! We bought a real Christmas tree last year , one that was attached to a log so not suitable for replanting. Anyhoo I took down all my decorations the day after New Years Day and put the tree in my garden for my hubby to sort out. So can anyone explain to me why it is STILL there!?!?!
On the plus side it actually still looks pretty! Lol!!!

The name game

I know we've got aaaaaagggggeeeees yet but I am already thinking of names for our unborn baby :) In fact we have chosen a boys name already ( sorry we are not sharing !) but I'm having real trouble with the girls name. Ideally we would like the name to end in 'n' and also we don't want it to start with 'R' 'D' 'T' or 'E' . I can't think of anything! I'd like something slightly different but not weird! Any suggestions??

Strange old day..

I did NOT want to get out of bed today. When does the blooming phase start again? Lol! Not that it matters I would happily feel rough for the whole 6 months as long as baby is ok. After hearing Amanda Holdens tragic news yesterday I am reminded yet again how lucky I am and not to take anything for granted.
So what have I been up to today.. feels like I haven't stopped but I've not achieved anything. Made a necklace for a birthday gift. Started a gift for a friends little boy. Started a hat for another gift. Done one load of washing...but not hung them up to dry ! Errr and ate everything I could get my hands on!!!!!
Ah well we all have days like this eh? I think Ill make another cup of tea :)

Your not happy unless you have something to worry about

A phrase that has been said to me a lot :(
I will be 14 weeks on Tuesday and I already have a sizeable bump . This morning my little boy jumped on my stomach and I feel freaked out. No reason to , no worrying symptoms , yet still I worry. I DO have stomach ache but that could be anything , not even pregnancy related. Why can't I just relax :(

Woolly Goodness!


My Yarn arrived from www.woollywumpkins.co.uk ! And as predicted it is LUSH! If you love yarn please check out the store now! You will not be disappointed! :)

Cough cough splutter splutter

My poor children are feeling poorly sick! Decided to keep Tegan off school but once she realised she started crying ! I do hope she keeps up her enthuasiam for school once she goes to big school in September.
So anyway , I have both children at home and my niece arriving at lunch time. I have far far too much housework to do but I predict cozy cuddles on the sofa may be in order instead! I already have dinner in the slow cooker so there is nothing really urgent to do.
My knitting is going well! I have some yummy woollywumpkins yarn on the way. I plan to be brave and make Euan a jumper! Wish me luck!!!
