TWINS...

12 Weeks 3 Days...

Ok, went to visit my baby doctor for my first appointment...
Whilst having a chat about fabric, sewing and fabric shops...my lovely doctor was glad I was lying down...

I thought this to be a little strange a comment, until I stopped thinking about fabric and took a look at the monitor!

I didn't see one little body, but two!

Now it is too planning.

I have to make two of everything.

If anyone has ANY tips, let me know. I would appreciate them:)
Here are the two wee babes.

Fabric.

I have a problem.

I think I need to own a fabric shop, I can not possibly choose from all the gorgeous fabrics out there!

I have myself in a spin trying to choose what to buy to make.

I have just spent who-knows-how-many-hours trying to pick fabric for a dress I am about to make. I only need three different prints! I have about 30 to cull back!!!

It is a nice problem to have:) I can not complain.

Back to work.

Back to work at the flower farm today.
Packing 'Stock' flowers and then picking 'Sweet pea' flowers...they smell devine.
I actually didn't feel sick today, but work did make me tired. Will I be able to keep it up?

Tanya and I have decided to focus on sewing for the etsy shop.

We have to decide whether to shut the 'mandiknit' etsy shop and start with a fresh new shop. I think this is where we are headed. We have some lovely idea's for the clothing, we now just have to get on and sew!

I need a PA to stand over me and keep me focused!

It is a personality traight of mine to do three or more things at once. Or I just get side tracked. Like now I am on the computer when I should be down sewing a funky little teal coloured dress, it should be in The Story Tree shop for sale...  

I need a break, lets take a walk...

Lazy Days and Packages from Around the World

Lazy days were spent at my Mum and Dad's house, with my two boys.
It was freezing down there (Tamworth) and I now realise we aren't quite equiped with the correct warm clothing which is needed.

Most days I slept the afternoon away! Yes, this babe growing is taking it out of me!

We had a lovely time in the park one morning with my sisters children also, I have worked out children must have very good circulation as they don't feel the cold. They know to keep moving....

I returned to packages. My gorgeous LillaLotta custom made tape arrived! What a great trade we did.

Now I have a little boy. What a cutie he is, with his big eyes and red striped top.

THANK YOU LILLA-LOTTA .... here is her shop http://www.lillalotta.etsy.com/
