Bex has been doing crochet for about 2 years now, and in that time she's made quite a few little items, mostly toys, beanies, cocoons etc.
Yesterday she finished her first clothing item:
6 WEEKS! It's getting so exciting, there is NOTHING like a newborn to lift your spirits and make you smile more.
Even better, I'm just the Grandma, I don't have to do any of the sleepless nights/sore back/cracked nipples stuff!
Sorry if that was too much info!
lol
Today? Well... Bex and Dante go to Playcentre, and I'm going to Patchwork class.
I'm just going to do a couple of mug rugs today. I've not started the baby cot bumper yet. Slack I know, but something always seems to crop up and stop me making a start on it.
But, now that the house is all ship shape again, I am sure I can settle down and get right back into my sewing again.
So, until later....
ONWARD...
Today I'm fasting. Gunna give the 5:2 diet a go. 5 days you eat normally, 2 days you semi fast.
When I got home from patchwork class, I was just in time to kiss Dante goodbye as they left for Hamilton.
They are off for a couple of days, visiting friends. Steve is joining them after work today.
So, it's just Stew, B & G and me for the weekend.
Class was lovely today. One of the ladies was making a Japanese inspired wall hanging, and she had to make 11 little kimono's ... so several of us girls learnt how to make them too.
Next Friday is our last day in class, the shop is being closed down after Easter.
The tutor is trying to find a venue so we can still keep our group together. I hope she can, I was starting to really feel like 'one of the girls'... and would miss them if it doesn't start up again.
I got a few pieces of fabric from the sales table today, and a couple of ends of roll too. There's going to be more bargains after Easter... can't wait!
The kids are home early today... kill me now. I am so over kids at the moment, particularly shitty teenagers. Even Griffin is getting hormonal and anal... I hope his balls drop fast and he gets over himself.
End of Day: a lovely evening, spent in front of the telly and doing a jig saw on me computer.
nite nite
Wow very talented. ...awesome Bex.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 5:2 diet :) Bex, you are so clever with your crochet!! Well done, I also love to crochet - must get back into it.
ReplyDeleteBex is so clever, love that wee jacket. $ 10 says by mid afternoon this fasting novelty will have you eyeing up the dogs as a possible snack :-). Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you all. have today off work and haven't been on here for such a long time.... need to make a coffee and see what you have been up too!
ReplyDeleteTracy xx
Could you hold the classes at your place?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the room Tracy, there's at least 6 of us... and my garage is COLD in winter.
DeleteHee Hee - The kids. I feel the same way. My friends have a knitting meeting at a local coffee shop. MAybe you guys aren't that "portable" though. If you can make tiny projects it might work.
ReplyDeleteBex - goood job on the wee sweater!
ReplyDeleteBex is so clever with her crotchet, its a beautiful blue too. Shame about the class maybe someone will over up a rumpus room etc..... Hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteLMAO you're too funny! Trevor has learned how to be a little asshole too. Dang kids! I love the shell fabrics, so pretty!
