Growing up too fast

Blake listening to stories on the phone with Nani and Koro

Well I can't believe it. Boo is one on Wednesday. Man did that come about way too fast.

The doll I'm making for Boo for her birthday

She is walking properly now, still crawls, and does tend to get the speed wobbles a bit when walking. She is mighty quick when crawling, especially if someone is in the shower. James wasn't paying attention last night and she got into the shower fully clothed! She thought it was great. (Of course she was aided by her big brother who opened the shower door for her.)

Blake had a speech assesment this week! YAY! Well not so yay, he has serious sequencing issues, but at least we know and we can get started. We are lucky we got to the top of the list for free speech though QLD health. It's going to be a long road, but hopefully we can sort it before he gets to school
The kids are sharing a room now, but it's often easier to put them to sleep in seperate rooms. This is Blake asleep on our floor!!

PIF Progress

Well I have finished my first PIF gift and it is crawling (Aus post) it's way to it's recipient.

Here is a glimpse of it, I'll put a full picture up once she has recieved it.

So, where were we?

Well not much in the way of pics, the USB cable for the camera died.

Ella has started walking, well she still prefers to crawl but took about 15 steps the other night! Not even one, she is growing up too fast.

Been a hell week, Blake getting up at 5am and refusing to go back to sleep. Hopefully it's just a stage/phase. So we have all been struggling on on not that much sleep.

Blake made a 'bed' in his sand pit. Yes he is still wearing 1/2 his PJs!!

And below...one for the 21st. I put a dress on Boo and Blake said "I want wear dress like Boo". SO off we went to Boo's cupboard and found one that fitted him! His dad wasn't impressed, although he did say it suited him

And we had a lovely little get together today with Nadine and Noelle from a forum I'm on, Noelle's friend Kat and J's cousin Amy. Jimmy (Noelle's son) Tyler (Kat's son) and Ella are all about the same age and had a great time playing together. The pic is on my camera,so will get it off one day. Thanks for visiting guys I had a wonderful time/.

Sew-along Pincushions

I am participating in a sew-a-long...making pincushions.

This is my first one, I am quite pleased with it, although made a few stuff ups along the way. It's huge though! Plan on making another one (different type) today if I get a chance.

Well I did get a chance and here it is. I love this one! And am making more.

Some knitted goodies

Ella has been a bit spoilt...firstly my Nana (her great nana) knitted her a beautiful lightweight jumper and matching soaker (which I still need to lanolise), and then I asked James' Mum, to knit Ella a Tikki dress with some wool I had got to make one. I still have to take a photo of nana's knitting. She wont be wearing the dress till she's walking, which wont be too far off, she can take 2 steps!

I have been busy sewing, and have made the kids some cute cushions for the play room. (They are now sharing a room, which isn't going too badly). 3 zips later and I am a bit over zips though, but they turned out well. Blake loves them.

And we made me a sewing space on the weekend. So I can have my machine set up all the time and not on the dining room table (which James hated). Its great, nice view of our garden and great light.
