giving in

My guilty pleasure. I love these nails. When I have more money I am going to get these!











Already watching quite a few old keys on ebay!











ANyhow.

After a pretty rotten day yesterday I am feeling muuuch better today.

Yesterday was spent doing gentle things, things that didnt require my wobbly legs to do much. We even had pizza for Sunday Dinner.

I eventually managed to conquer the waterfall braid. Everyone makes it look so easy but for me, notoriously bad at 'hair', its taken a while.


I











like














it

a lot.

Just wish I could do it on my own hair ;)

The Pillow Books, as I have decided to call them, have been made and are already proving to be a hit. Am finding myself hoping the novelty wears off soon and the messages become a bit more 'spaced'!

Before I show ours I must give credit to http://www.tipgarden.blogspot.com/ for giving me the idea.

The basic idea with these books is that they are a notebook you share with your child, a secret notebook where you can each write down messages or feelings to each other, about anything at all, even if they are having troubles and need to talk.

Start by writing your child a note and leave it on her pillow. Your child then holds onto the notebook for as long as s/he wants and when s/he wants to leave you a note s/he writes something and sneaks the notebook onto your pillow. This doesnt need to be on a regular or set schedule but it may be helpful to grab the notebook back if its been a while!

A beautiful idea I'm sure you'll agree.

Ours are off to a flying start.

Happy Weekend.

money for nothing

Am absolutely loving being a member of pinterest. Such beautiful, beautiful ideas and ideals. Take a look and join in, I've only been a member for a few hours and have already taken from it the idea of a 'Pillow Talk' book. Tomorrow we are off to the shops to buy a few notebooks to transform into pillow talk books. Will show you our progress then.

In the meantime can I show you my latest bargain?

My jaw nearly hit the floor when shop owner told me it was £1!!!!!!!!!!!!

In perfect condition and matches the other two I already own that were my mums.

However, silly me. It nearly cost me a whole lot more.

For some reason I forgot to pay the car park fees?!?

Just parked the car, got baby out and walked off.

Realised about an hour later that I had TOTALLY forgotten to pay for parking.

But, like I said, 2012 is my year. The traffic warden was no where to be seen.

Go Mommy.

Go Mommy.

Poplin Cable Beanie

I am ever so chuffed. The hat worked, perfectly first time, no frogging. Am in the process of writing out the pattern and casting on number two! 2012 is my year. Speaking of which, 2011 passed by without a mention, 2011 was horrible all but for one thing. My precious little baby number 3 was born. Can't believe she's nearly 1 now.

Genius

Today I feel epic.

I have, so far, managed to copy a hat pattern from just looking at the hat, if you know what I mean?!?! Worked out how many to cast on, how the cables work, size of needles and thickness of yarn. Will upload photos as soon as I figure it out on iPhone!!!

Starting again

Think I might start blogging again. Lost my voice for quite a while. See if I can get my mojo back.

In theory it sould be really good. Even the title sounds tempting.

Is it just me or is it just not convincing enough? Put on some weight love and then we might believe that you enjoy your food.

Of course I had a little chuckle at myself being so judgmental when I sat down to watch, Pot Noodle in hand! Shame on me.
