week 20 and other stories

baby has cooked to week 20 now, and is moving all the time and kicking nicely. Bump is growing slowly and has a nice shape, so i now look pregnant rather than have eaten too much...

this year ive decided to crochet some christmas presents.

my mum will be getting this scarf...

and my sister this cowl, pattern here...http://sennaloves.blogspot.com/2011/10/21.html

i also used some of the silver flecked wool to make another blythe hat which is listed in my etsy.

ive also picked some gender neutral colours for a baby blanket. i went with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, and if we decided to find out the sex, can add in the appropriate colour palette as needed.

new dolly hats

i finally figured out how to make blythe granny hats. 3 are in my etsy and i'll see how they go.

bump at 16 weeks..not that different to 12 weeks..

bump at 12 weeks

growing slowly. but surely. am now 16 weeks so bump is a bit bigger. the sickness has stopped, the tiredness has stopped, i finally feel human.

blanket progression

this blanket is a very slow process!! i have enough squares for 6 rows and need at least double that for it to be of a decent size!!

big news

in 26 weeks my husband and I will be joined by this little person!

moving?

having gotten fed up with being messed around with various agencies, hubby and i turned around last friday and told all involved we wanted to move this thursday (22nd) and they had to make it happen..fingers crossed, things are looking good.

had a call at work from hubby whilst at work to say a man was wandering around our estate looking for his daughter's cat..that went missing 3 months ago. of course im worried its Darwin, but as he's now chipped he's officially ours...isnt he??

here's the LO from the previous post, but now i have a working camera again (yay) you get a proper picture. i also managed my first one of our new cat.
Speaking of Darwin, he isnt coping well with the whole move thing, especially as we appear to have hit a bit of a stumbling block. He's gone off his food and will only eat is one of us sits next to him and strokes him. He's losing weight and doesnt like being outside too long. poor little man.

another treat for you, ive started a new crochet project. its a biggie, and will take a long time but will look amazing!

rubbish scan...

so i wanted to share a LO i did with some bits from one of my quirky kit lites. but my camera is refusing to turn on so im afraid im leaving you with a rubbish scan...

a long time..

gosh its been too long since i last posted..

and i really dont have much to say!!

the move is still progressing. slower than originally thought but we're aiming to finally move september 2nd. lots of annoying questions from various solicitors, and random requests for money but its getting there.

i do have some other news but it really has to wait for now. dont worry, its a goodie.

to satisfy those visual needs, here's some flickr faves.
