I have moved!! I am currently living with my Parents in North Queensland because my Soldier had to go to Melbourne for a course with the Army. The course is six months long and he is now four months into it. Only two months to go. So with him in Melbourne and me 32 weeks pregnant and staring down the barrel of having to give birth to The Boy on my own with no-one to look after Noo, we thought it would be a great idea to move north.


The Boy was born on my Dad's birthday, much to my disgust as it is the only day that I didn't want to have him. I am a firm believer in that everyone should have their own birthday. My Dad loves the idea though. The Boy was delivered on the 22 May after an incredibly fast 50 minute labour. Everything went well and we are enjoying our wonderful new addition.




I guess between moving north and having a baby there isn't a lot of time for blogging or crafting. Now that we have settled into somewhat of a Routine with The Boy, there has been some activity on the crafting front.

My cousin and his wife are about to welcome their second child so I have been working on a the Color Me blanket for the little tyke. I have finished the red crayon and I am working on the blue one. I am exceeding pleased with the texture of the fabric. The pattern calls for a 5mm hook but I didn't have one so I pulled out my 4mm and I really like the way it is working up.

I have to get cracking on it because I have less than 8 weeks to finish it. That may sound like a long time, but with a six week old and a very jealous two year old to contend with, finding time to work on it is quite difficult.
