Window shopping

I'm in love with this dress, I haven't been into any 'actual shops' but I can still window shop on the internet!

What have you been up to lately?
Me? Well, all I've been this last couple of weeks is a Mamma. Joe this, Joe that, Joe wants to play at 4 o'clock in the morning etc etc. I'm tired. So very tired.

I've been trying to eat healthy, breastfeeding really sucks the energy out of my system but I am having a hard time finding the right snacks. I've been putting my thinking cap on for snacks and have come up with:::::
cold toasties
boiled eggs
bananas
grapes
Can you add anything to my list... please, pretty please with cherries on top - I'm hungry here!....http://www.etsy.com/shop/designbyme2010

If Only....

If I had a spare million or two lying around, I'd buy this....

You may have already figured this out already, but...

Yep, I've been online shopping again!

 

This time it was a 'Mumsy' purchase - I needed a smaller baby stuff bag, you know to carry a couple of nappies, change mat & chuck in my own handbag rather than lug around a huge nappy bag.

I bought it here and it is brilliant!

Cookies

I've been baking lately, must the 'Mumsy' in me coming out.

This time it was Chocolate Chip Cookies but I have just realised that out of a bookcase full of fancy cookbooks, I mainly cook from the ingredients packaging.  I mean, the cookies were from a recipe on the choc chip packet and the other week I baked cornflake cookies from a recipe on the cornflake box!  And then someone asked me for the carrot cake recipe that I made, I hunted for 3 days for this until Mr suggested that it was from one of my cookbooks (not a recipe cut from a packet) and then voila, he was right and I found it presto!


What is your fav recipe from a cookbook or packaging??

My Creative Space

He's done!

My Creative Space is clear this week because I've actually managed to finish something that I started!
I set out to knit a toy (freestyle) and finished it too. To see more pics click here.

Meet Jobot

  Guess what.... he's finished! 

Yes, I have actually started & finished a project (and it was within a month too!).

Joe is a little too young yet to play with him, but I made him really narrow so Joe can get his little hands around his new toy.

His back is fabric to give another texture for Joe to discover. Mind you, with my sewing, it looks like Jobot has a wedgie!
I took advantage of a sleeping Joe to grab a 'kodak' moment with his new toy!

I'm pretty impressed with myself!

My first contribution....

 

Here's my first 21 Grannies for the Crochet a Rainbow project.

It was a tough decision, but this was my favourite Grannie...

a wee stack!
