Teddy go round link
Please excuse my lazy arse pregnant woman’s break. I have been far to lazy to get off my bum lately, plus we had school holidays in there. Even made it to the beach in them!
I have done a couple of little pieces though
a few cards for friends and family
A doll for a special little friend from playgroup. from this link
I made a few tiny changes and used a soft minkee on the back esp for hugging by this very cute one year old.
A teddy go round (Rav link) in progress for Mr Kooka Belly ( Cooper Travis) who is causing his mum great heart burn at the moment, cant wait till he comes to meet us! Im making it a bit bigger then the pattern, but enjoying the mindlessness of granny squares and loving how they are working up in this colour. Planning white/cream bear heads.
and part of a maternity dress which has been laying around waiting fro more detail attention then I feel like giving it right now.
Am planning a summer hat along for Tyler with this lovely woman. and her son and hopefully another new friend though I think she is blogless.
In other news Hubby was in a band comp heat last night and they made it through to the next round, and my mumma is coming back from France soon fro a visit, hopefully with a copy of Sew Hip that I’m forcing my sister to bring to her from the UK where she lives ( my family likes disappearing on me, my brother has just taken off in a van with his girlfriend heading around Australia!)
Except that instead of going to the spotlight sale, I brought clothes that fit over my bump. I know where I would have rather been. Then my Aunty came over and treated me to a haircut and helped chuck a colour in, so I actually feel presentable now. Which is good, but it does not help my fabric or yarn stash!
Finished up the quick lil bib. After the 12th Ill hopefully know if its a girl or a boy so will add teh name and a lil soemthin’ somethin’ in the band.

The photo is a bit yellow, should of taken longer to do it but I wanted to get it done in the last five minutes before the boys came home from soccer practice.
Today whilst standing at soccer practice – it occurred to me, just before it pissed down. It is nearly Autumn and then winter. it is going to get cold – very cold, And I will be standing in the cold every weekend and one day each week for the forseable future – including trips up the Blue Mountains ( and I remember waking up and freezing when we lived there), watching 9 year old boys run around. I needs a hat!
So have been searching around and one of the patterns I found was this Cute Hat
Which lead me to this
Sweet NeckLace
I love the simplicity of this. It looks elegant and classy.
A wonderful friend of mine is having a baby ( yes I’m totally jealous, but after 17 months am beginning to accept reality). We met on the train, when pregnant with our first children ( now almost 9!), and then when we bumped into each other at our hospital appointments it was on. This will be her second baby, and her husbands first. As these are people who will appreciate any handmade stuff I do for the bubs, I’m letting my self plan like crazy.
I’m thinking

filled with

and some bibs ( handmade),
singlets, socks,
hats – I’m thinking Cabled Greenspun Beanie from the book Nature Babies , and either a simple crochet beanie or a stocking stitch one
the cutest knit booties in the world
And If I can figure out the DPNS
I got my shade card in the mail from ozeyarn, and so am touching and dreaming what they will all look like.
