we have a new member

 

 

so we have a new member of the Me&My family....

work is not on the agenda right now....

but lots of plans in the pipe line for Christmas.

really easy baby bib make

soooo...I'm now 3 days past my due date and there's no sign of this baby turning up! so despite being the size of a house I am determined to keep busy. Iv been meaning to make my own bandanna style bibs for ages, with my first born I spent a small fortune on them, and realised too late just how simple they are to make. So I picked though my fabric stash, found some bits I liked and that are unisex! and basically traced around an old bib of my sons, used that template to cut out the fabric and the cotton backing, them whizzed it through the sewing machine inside out leaving a little gap to turn it right side out, sewed up that hole, and added some poppers, basically cost nothing, and each one took less then 15mins. It is addictive, because it ticks so many boxes for me, its a project that is super quick, it uses up fabric I cant find any other use for and they are going to be practical...

so I'm off to make some more and hopefully baby will decide to turn up this week.

 

 

 

creative holidays....

I'm now officially the most pregnant I have ever been!

 summer holidays+ 3 year old+ pregnancy = a challenge!

so we have been getting creative, seeing as tree climbing and football in the garden are off my list for the time being, we have been painting, scrap booking, baking and making good use of the library!

I have found keeping busy is very helpful, and this mobile design has been in my head for about 6 months, I finally finished it, and I love it! its incredibly satisfying making something for your child, that you know is just for them...now I might have to make my son a big kid version...robots and dinosaurs knowing him!

We also found this amazing little place in St Albans called pots of art, which lets you paint a piece of pottery, which they then fire and you collect a week later, it was a lovely way to spend 2 hours, and I now have something I will treasure forever made by my son.

 

now roll on September!!
