No tv?

I just read about this somewhere on my google reader (I'm sorry I can't remember where) and am seriously considering doing it. It's supposed to be lovely weather for the next few days and it can't hurt the electricity bill either right?
One week with no tv. Now, the only thing stopping me is the fact that I am really pregnant and have the sorest back possible. This pregnancy has really knocked me about and I am feeling it. With 3 small boys I have been relying on the tv for my sanity but honestly? We have a hundred books, playdoh, pencils, paint, why not give it a go?
Anyone else interested?

Easter 2010

So, it is a complete pain in the backside to have a lactose intolerant child. Raife, my youngest, is unable to eat dairy without getting a really upset tummy, which isn't pleasant for him, or us as the nappy changers. ;)This year I attempted to make him a Humpty Dumpty like his brothers. Why didn't I google how to use chocolate moulds before attempting this? Anyway, no pictures as it was a bit of a mess! I put Skittles inside and he loved it! I just couldn't get the two halves to stick together properly and had trouble getting the chocolate out of the case. Hopefully he'll grow out of it by next year!

We went to my Grandma's for an egg hunt and I made a carrot cake which was delicious, here's the recipe. Cream cheese icing! Mmm!In other news the cardigan for the baby girl is done and waiting for buttons and I am powering through the hexagon quilt. I think I may need to get myself to the quilt shop and buy some more FQs!

Wow

It's really been a while, huh?
I'm going to have to go back through the past few months and start uploading some pics. Way back to Christmas! Ha, that's terrible!! In the meantime, I've been falling in love with hexagons.
I am pretty big with this baby at the moment and really enjoying some slow hand sewing. I've also taken up knitting! I made a gorgeous preemie cardigan. And a bunny. Now I have a cardigan on the needles. Turns out that this baby is a girl. BIG shock. SO I grabbed some pink wool and have been making something stripy. Here's a sneak peek.

December

So the sheets have been sent out, I hope you have all received them!!

I have been busy, not as much sewing as I would like. I just can't seem to find the balance at the moment. That may have something to do with how tired I am! Bloody first trimester. Oh well it's hopefully over now! (Not sure on dates *blush* far too busy to keep track of that stuff. lol!)

I finished Raife's monkey quilt but haven't managed a decent picture so you will have to wait for that one.

I did however blog finish the guys flanelette jammies for Christmas Eve. Tradition being that the night before Christmas they get a present to open with pj's and a new Christmas book.

I have been making thank you gifts for my gorgeous friends that helped with the wedding

some aprons (excuse the lamp being the model!)

a business card holder and key fob

I also made my PIFs and posted them off

and I joined in on a Christmas ornament swap, here is what I received from Miss Muggins.

I don't think I took a photo of what I made and I can't see one on the recipient's blog, but it was cu-ute!

Anyway back soon to show more bits and pieces.

Vintage Sheet Swap

If you haven't received an email confirming I have your FQs would you please email me at thebell01 (at) hotmail (dot) com? You have until tomorrow because that's when I will be sorting them and posting them all off.

Thanks!!
Back to regular blogging soon!
