Some sewing and photos of my little men!

the boys (i think this car will soon cause fights!)



sporting a new nappy we got today... ssssh don't tell daddy!


awww!


I made this top and dress for a secret swap. Now they have been received i can show them!






size 2, swing top - great for toddler tummies!




my poor son modelling the dress. He's 6mths and it's a size 12mths. I wasn't happy with how the sleeves turned out nor the fastening at the back. I so need to learn the button hole function on my sewing machine! It was my first time using bias binding too. ugh!

My wee Sportacus fan

He's so gorgeous.
He wore this to kindergym and to the supermarket with his Dad. Awwww.
Now to find Missy Madam a 'Stephanie' dress up. Am not having much luck!

I think i'll leave it to the professionals!

So tonight after bath time, i tried to take some pictures of the kids. It quickly descended into chaos!

Pic 1 - C3 looks a bit goofy! Big thumbs up to H5mths, looking at the camera oozing cuteness.



Pic 2 - C3 tilts his head back so it's a good shot up his nostrils.


Pic 3 - H5mths starting to look concerned...


Pic 4 - Now here's one for the grandparents! It was at this point i gave up.

Baby on my back.

Baby H(5mths) on my back in the mei tai.
He giggled when i put him up there (freaking out the husband when i superman'd him over my shoulder!) I watched a 'how to' video on you tube. Still, it's one thing to do it bending over your bed, and another to try it on the street!
Only bummer is that i'm not flexible enough to get the dummy to him, and it is inevitable that he will up-chuck down my back. I guess it'll make a change from between my boobs!

Some mothers do have 'em

I5 drew this lovely picture for me last week.
It's of our cat Poppy doing a wee.




I use to get rainbows and flowers...

New hat for H

Here's a wee hat I did for H(4.5mths) using shepherd colour-4-me and my hand dyed wool.
I used the 'how to knit a basic hat' pattern off The nappy network. I'm not sure if the rolled edge is a very manly look though?






This is what happens when you try to take a photo of a baby in a bouncy chair!


awwww.

Have just received my parcel of wool from BWM and have ordered a 12 pack of cake dyes off ebay. Stay tuned!

H's longies - finished!

Hooray! My first 'in the round' project! Well the first one to actually work out! I did short rows and a gusset even.

I'm rather pleased with them if i do say so myself.



In this last pic, he's decked out top to toe in my knitting.

Now i'm working on a hat using my home dyed yarn. It's like i have to constantly knit these days. The house is a total pigsty because of it!
