Evie’s Maile, originally uploaded by ZMB. So, I’ve been quite busy over the past few weeks. I knit this cardigan for Evie, a pair of matching booties and, of course, there was the whole giving birth to and looking after Miss Evie which has kept my hands tied. But she is worth it!
Quick Change Trousers, originally uploaded by ZMB. In between looking after Martha and spending hours on end in bed, I have managed to make some items for the new baby. I had intended to sew some items for Martha before she was born, but she was in a rush and I wasn’t at all organised. [...]
Here is the finished Oliver + S Ice Cream Blouse. Martha seems to be very happy with it. Another garment she loves is the Owlet Sweater knitted by her Great Auntie.
I think it would be fair to say that that past couple of months have been quite tough. It has been a combination of 1st trimester of pregnancy ickyness and my Granny passing away. I didn’t realise I would miss her so much. She was a proper Granny, one that knitted, sewed, baked wee buns [...]
Demolition Baby, originally uploaded by ZMB. Goodbye sand castles!
Explorer, originally uploaded by ZMB. A little change of scene here, I was getting bored of looking at the post below. Martha is 10 months old today and has just returned from her first holiday to the Dingle Peninsula. She went for houndie walks, explored and stood without support. A good holiday. I busied myself [...]
I know I am so bad not writing for so long. In my defence – I have been busy. Now I shall try my best to give an update on the adventures of Martha. Martha is doing well, she is still exclusively breastfed and thriving on it. She will be 24 weeks old on Saturday [...]
hoursold, originally uploaded by waveneyavenue. I would say that every person who reads this blog is already aware that I have had my baby. Just in case there is anyone out there who does not know – I had little Martha Amy on 19 September. We have spent the last 4 weeks getting to know [...]
Mentally I am the same size I was before I grew my bump. Physically I cannot fit through the same tight gaps – especially between car wing mirrors. According to my mother my arse looks bigger. I guess it’s a balance thing, my arse grows to balance out the big belly so that I don’t [...]
Going away on holiday has many positive points, not least of which is the greeting that the dogs gave us on our return. Both waggled with excitement from their noses to the tips of their tails. Gracie’s full greeting takes up to an hour and includes much waggling, jumping up, climbing onto our shoulders; where [...]
Paddy Plays Tugger, originally uploaded by ZMB. Yesterday Nelly, Dave and I went for a walk in Portglenone Forest with the dogs (Gracie, Maya, Bonnie and Paddy). The dogs had a beezer time and Nelly and Dave nearly poisoned themselves eating Lords and Ladies. Dave had picked up a leaf he thought was sorrel and [...]
My-oh-my, where to start? Seems I done been a bad blog ignoring girl during August. But I don’t care and I enjoyed not thinking about it at all. So, August? August was a very mixed bag of happiness, stress, blues, laughter, etc. I can’t remember any other time recently where I have experienced so many [...]
Yesterday I listened to Spirtiualized – Songs in A&E 5 times. Once while visiting the Fairhill Market, once while doing the rounds of the local charity shops (coincidentally managing to meet a heap of my family – Granny in a car on Mill Street, then Granny again with Auntie T on Church Street, Mum in [...]
