I love...

productive days!!!

Lots done today....
Added the missing row to Samuel's quilt...hand stitch the letters in front of the footy last night...took almost both matches just to do 6 letters!!! Still need to add borders.... hopefully tomorrow....

Went to Spotlight for flannel material and Bunnings to get storage boxes and dowel....hung the quilts on the wall! Been meaning to to this for ages...

Tided the sewing shelves...fondled the fabrics and tried to find room for the extra fabrics that have been appearing at my house...re-sorted the 'notions' and found a few things I didn't know I had... and noticed a few things were missing...this came about the other day when making nappy bags and I could not find any Taylor's chalk...turns out I didn't own any (I do now!!)...

Cooked dinner...Lamb Shanks!! No pictures they were a bit dry looking but tasted delicious!

Sorted out some patterns.....found some maternity ones to make some elastic waisted pants....made sure all the pieces were ready to make SIL some flannel PJ bottoms...thought I'd test the pattern out for myself first...

Made these!! Perfect for midnight breastfeeding in winter!

Photos at 25 weeks + 4 days

This is what I see!! LOL

Super quick and easy...just need SIL's measurements to make hers now...

Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes.

We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
