Busy busy and an idea for Christmas

Today is going to be hectic -

2 loads of clothes to fold and put away
2 loads of nappies to fold and put away
2 loads of towels to fold and put away
2 loads of sheets to - you guessed it! - fold and put away
Dishes to be done
At least 3 loads of washing to be done - and that doesn't include the nappies that need washing
Toys to tidy
Wood to get - because yesterday it was soooo HOT and today it SOOO COLD!
A fire to light
Twins need to go down for a sleep
Dinner to prepare

That's just a few things......

On another topic because housework really isn't exciting me right now....

I found a new blog - well new to me - and I just love it! Thank you to Belinda over at Renovate + Decorate (and also Mini Meez!) for putting me onto it!

Little Brown Pen - loving this blog!

On here I found a fab idea for a Christmas pressie for those that require a pressie but are not close so you won't put a lot of thought into it - do you know what I mean? I hope so, hope that didn't come out all wrong...

Check this out!

Flower Washcloth, Scraps and Things

Fresh Baked Bread Soap, Sun Basil Garden
(These are just examples)

Simple and easy. I'll be knitting up the washcloths myself and if I have time I will make the soap. Otherwise I'll head down to a little local store I know and buy some delicious little ones!

On my desk.... + yummy's

Currently I am working on Zachary's dungarees - see the buttons? They are little cowboy boots, love em'! Also on my desk this week is some knitting. I'm not sure exactly what it is going to be yet, I'm just happy to be finally knitting!!

Head on over to Kootoyoo for more desk this week.....and thanks to this crafty lady for hosting!

Wanna see what Mitchell and I did after Pre-school today?! We made a super YUMMY cake which we later turn in even yummier lamingtons!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other yumminess around here today arrived in my mailbox! Thank you Funky Fabrics for getting this lovely fabric to me so fast!

I also couldn't resist buying a little Pink Fig in the shape of the Olivia Top!

Just another Update

A few things to share, where do I start??

I have decided to start knitting.....yes, knitting!! I used to hate knitted things but I'm really growing to love them. I am starting with a really easy pattern for a nappy soaker for Miss Anna. Its just finding the time to start it!

I wanted to turn this.....


Into this....


Once I get this one done I'll knit a blue version (without the frill) for Master Zachary.

I'm still in nappy making mode although I haven't had time to get much done! Here is one that I'm nearly finished. I just have to put the snaps on and sew it up.



It is a pocket nappy. I have really grown to love pockets, I find them a lot more user friendly. I have a few AIO's & fitted's but I keep coming back to the pockets. They dry quicker, don't need covers, can be stuffed with almost anything and are really easy to sew!

A quick photo of the Santa Sacks that my mum made the kids. I really love them, and the kids thought they were great too!



Thats all for tonight I think, hopefully some more interesting news to share next time. Till than, take care.
