I have had a few projects on the go recently. I've particularly been procrastinating over making my sister some pillow cases and duvet covers to help her with her 'nesting'! I finally got them finished today, with the help of two little guys - one Mancub who stood at my elbow and copied the noise of the sewing machine (irritating much?). Although you've got to feel sorry for him - he has broken his foot (by poking it in the edges of an escalator no less) and he cannot play outside with the other kids, so I put up with his carry on - just! And then there was this little guy:
Isn't he cute? He totally helped me out with the load of fabric I had pinned together. Ewan bought me him a while ago as a present, it was the perfect time to use him! It's nice to get this project finished!! Hope it all fits!
Then on to my next project: coursework. The two humungous piles of the previous post had shrunk to only one this weekend, and got completed yesterday - whoop! Now to get the next installment tomorrow, groan!
Catching up with friends has been another project over half term. I had a friend from Uni round with her 4 (yes 4) kids. Was really nice to catch up with them all. The two youngest are the cutest twins ever! A handful, but great fun.
We also got a chance to meet up with the Boyds - who brought some treats to cheer up my wounded soldier!
We've actually been working on being lazy as well round here. For many's a year I was up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday and out at swimming lessons, sports or shopping. But we have taken up the new hobby of pancake eating on a Saturday morning ( and a Sunday if we can manage it). I like this new hobby, I think it may be one we can keep up indefinitely with not much trouble! Add it to a dollop of DSi playing and we are all happy!
This is the next project I am preparing for:
Spring!!
Ooh, loving your new look! Very eco hehe! Excellent work on the making front - duvet covers and pillow cases is more ambitious than I could muster! Also can't believe you've finished your coursework and I still have 2 big piles. Grrr! See you in the morning x
