Haggis Update and other decisions…

Well after the heartbreak of having to rip back over 100 hair tendrils earlier this week Haggis is coming along again nicely. I took a break from his hair… just couldn’t face re-doing all those rows so soon and moved on to his legs instead. After a bit of playing with decreases I’m happy again… [...]

It was extremely difficult [...]

It’s been a great day today. The sun is belting out of the sky and while Finn was having his post lunch snooze I managed to get the last few bit of Angela’s dress finished. I am delighted with it and can’t wait for her to see the finished dress. The flowery fabric is a [...]

Nearly my first month of blogging already!

Finn is growing up so fast it seems… as of this week he’s now saying ‘mummy’ & ‘daddy’ properly. These days all I hear through the monitor when he goes for a sleep is a lot of giggling, bouncing on his mattress like a trampoline & now chanting ‘mummy”mummy”mummy”mummy’ when he’s supposed to be sleeping.
