my sarah london (www.sarahlondon.wordpress.com) 'breaking bad' afghan is coming on nicely. its a little on the bright side but i think its kinda fun!!

bump and blanket

The wool has been chosen and colour order decided. im now on the green which is labelled 'spring green' but should be renamed 'with a hint of dayglo'. tis very bright. im tempted to buy a cream/neutral colour to tone it down!!
hubby decided i needed another Bump piccie, so here it is, looking massive and full and round....ha!!

week 32.

bump is a little bigger now. baby is moving like crazy and has its feet pressed against my diaphragm most of the time so im struggling to breath. the midwife measured me last week and im 2cm less than i should be, apparently 2cm is fine but if it happens at my next appt in 2 weeks i'll need another scan.



i finally managed to finish my baby blanket.

crochet afghan inspo.

looking for inspiration??
look no further than flickr.

wow so im a big fat blog slacker!! mainly because there really hasnt been much to tell!! my shifts at work are basically 2 on 2 off so i spend my days off recovering from working.

baby blanket is almost done. i had a few issues with yarn running out earlier than expected and at inconvienient times but i think ive got everything now.

i bought some Stylecraft yarn for a ripple blanket. i havent decided if it will be a granny ripple or just regular 1/2 or treble stitch.

the roller derby league i am on maternity leave from is playing their first official bout on March 3rd, which is very exciting! i will be manning the door as i will be 36 weeks and do not fancy being an NSO, as i would be on my feet for hours!!

for those toy lovers out there, playmobil have gone down the blind box route, with separate lines for boy and girl figures...i got a princess and a cavewoman.

lastly, take a look at my amazing new toms! perfect summer footwear.

28 weeks...

its hard to see that bump is growing but maybe it all depends on the time of day the photo is taken...it always seems smaller in the morning!

the cot is up in the baby room, and although we know the sex, until its here we wont buy toomuch more stuff.....just in case!

ive come to the conclusion that this lady needs to move home. what with baby coming and having recently moved house, i cant afford dollies that dont get the attention.
