Japanese Monkey Pants.

Japanese Monkey Pants have to be a part of your little one's wardrobe. They just look so super comfy plus, if you’ve got a crawler you’ll see that smiling butt all the time! These styles run from $22 – $28, more at Best Baby Organics. I have made some pants similar to these so I will take some pics tomorrow and post for you to see.

Veggie Update.

Well this week I've been really sick and so not much blogging done....sorry.
Starting to feel better and Mike is now home to cheer me up so things are looking up. Anyway this was the new veggie patch 5 weeks ago, just as Mike left and then scroll down to see it now and boy does it all grow fast.

Not to gross anyone out but just putting that timber edging in (above) gave me a horrible blister which got infected and was really painful. Anyway pass that..
This is my lovely pumpkin I am in love with. I did have a smaller butternut but I accidentally broke the stem and it wasn't quite ripe, so this is my baby at the moment.

 This is a Squash plant. Mike loves them and perfect timing just as he got home I picked the first one (below). Looks delicious doesn't it.




Anchor Tatt.

brown and white wool
cardboard
feathers
pipe cleaners
string or embroidery floss

Here are some lovely Navy blue rooms. I have painted most of our bedroom navy blue and I LOVE it but i'll post it after Mike has seen it, don't want to ruin the surprise. I know he sometimes checks this to see pics of the kids. So maybe another week and i'll share.

Flaked out Jimmy.

This was the day of Stevie's party and I had run out of icing sugar so my grandpa aka Dadan stayed with the kids while I ducked out quickly. But it wasn't quick enough and Jimmy was a bit upset and went and lay in the rocker and Dadan rocked him to sleep. So cute!
 As you can see he had a lot of fun with a pen earlier that day.
