Busy bee

I've got 3 pairs of shorties to knit up at the moment, plus an almost finished skirty, plus another skirty I need to start. Predictably Eli decided that he wasn't going to nap until my other two children had woken up from their nap so I've managed to get about 10 rows of knitting done today. Humph!

Still, I'm looking forward to the projects. The yarns are gorgeous and shorties are so satisfyingly quick compared to longies. Yay for warmer weather :-)I've got a few ideas I'd like to try for Buy British Month but I have a feeling I won't have time. However, it's my 1st year anniversary of The Soaring Sheep on the 1st July so maybe I could get a few things made up for that...

I've just bought something from Buy British Month. I'd originally eyed it up when it was for sale on Hyenacart but didn't have any paypal at the time. Now it's been listed with a custom slot so I'm going to have it made into shorties for my bigger son.



It's his 2nd birthday on the 19th May so it can be a present for him ;-)

First Collab

Buy British Month!!

A month long WAHM-fest hosted on the Cloth Nappy Addicts forum. This year I've got some exciting collaborations in the pipeline as well as some custom slots with beautiful yarns and hopefully some instock shorties too, baby permitting!

So far I've got 3 tempting woollies knitted up that are going to be part of collaborations with other WAHM's



Already this beautiful set with Weenotions has sold within minutes of being listed. The shorties were made by me last year in Mamalongleg's Sophie colourway. The top is Organic Bamboo Velour in size 2 Years with a seahorse embroidered with colours to match the shorties, and an Organic Bamboo Velour Night Notion with matching embroidery on the back.



The next offering from me will be this set:



It will be listed in my shop as soon as I've taken a photo of it. It's a collaboration with the very talented Claire of Jelly Nose Chic and is absolutely stunning. The yarn was dyed by Mamalonglegs.


Buy British Month isn't just about cloth nappies and soakers though, there are handmade clothes, jewellery even needle felted artwork! Well worth a look :-)

Introducing Eli

My not so little bunny finally made an appearance on 8th April 2009. He was born at 43 weeks 4 days gestation and weighed an eye watering 11lb 0.5oz!

He's now 5 days old, chunky as ever (not lost any weight due to constantly breastfeeding!) and a very laid back and happy little chap.


More photos to follow no doubt in time. If anyone is interested in reading his birth story it's on my personal journal here

Still waiting for baby!

I'm now 42 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I feel bloomin huge!





These were taken nearly a week ago now and I've got bigger since if my ever increasing stretchmarks are any indication.

Finding it very hard to find the inclination to do anything creative at the moment. I sometimes pick up my knitting and do a few rows but that's about it. It's not even 2pm and I'm already thinking about having a nap. How can sitting around all day doing nothing be so exhausting?

Hope I'm updating soon with baby pictures. Just thought I'd post incase anyone is wondering where I've been...
