New look!

A quick update!

Yup, the blog has a new look and a new name - fresher, cleaner and simpler.

Baby is doing well, the belly is getting rather bumpy now! Our fruit app tells me sproglet is now the size of an onion.

More updates to come this afternoon!

Thank you for all your congratulations & well wishes :)
Of course, every life event needs an iPhone app, and being pregnant needs several lol! One of my favourites is called BabyBump, and the reason it is one of my favourites is because it gives you a weekly fruit update. What's a weekly fruit update? Well, it tells me every week what size baby is compared to certain fruits lol! We have progressed from apple seed to blueberry to prune, and today is the start of peach week! Peach - that's a cute fruit. I'm a little bit scared about the time it moves on to watermelon and pumpkin haha!

Despite appearances I am still scrapping! At the recent Sarah's Cards retreat I managed a couple of layouts in between teaching, eating & shopping! This is first of 3 that I made - lots of newly purchased goodies on here: Some lovely new Crate (yum!!), gorgeous AC Letterbox frames, my fabby new tab punch, several new border punches and a gorgeous honeycomb Prima stamp. I love the new Crate papers, especially this range in fabulous blues & greens - perfect for watery photos!

I've been busy....

For once I feel like I have a valid excuse for not blogging lol!
I've been rather busy building a baby - it's an exhausting business and I have been quite happy to sleep for many more hours than I should admit to!
We had our first scan yesterday - meet Sproglet! Little babe was very active and doing the sort of gymnastics that would earn an olympic medal. Everything looked, in the sonographer's words - perfect. We are both over the moon!
Our due date is 28th September which feels like a long long way away, but I know that chances are it will be here before we know it!

I know I've been gone for a while again - just don't seem to be able to find the time nor the energy for blogging at the moment!
Anyway, a few old layouts that I don't think I've shared yet just to keep the old blog moving a little bit lol!
Hoping to be back soon!

CHA is coming!

I love this time of year - so many gorgeous new products to oogle!
So far I am finding a few things that catch my eye - first up, american crafts. I always like their bold designs, and I am liking the retro feel of 'Abode', plus it features cute polka dots, yay!

Okay, so this next one might just become my favourite ever product - textured woodgrain cardstock! Yum yum and yum! The other patterns are pretty cute too :)

Learn to Sew part 1

My mission for this year is to learn a little about sewing. I really want to make a quilt, but I thought I'd start with something a little smaller!
This little chappie is a lot smaller, but for my very first project, I am chuffed with him. Yup, he's not perfect, and a little scruffy round the edges, but I like him!
Unfortunately the kittens have decided he shall be their play toy, so he has to sit high up on top of the shelves lol!

The Album Cover

So I have done some scrapping already this year, but I can't share any of it yet as it's hush hush lol!
Instead, I'll catch up on some layouts of last year that I haven't put on here yet.
Don't you just love that yellow polka paper - definately one of my favourites of 2009!
