And then there were 6

Hello all, and update to let you know that our precious bundle has arrived. Little master Miles arrived in the early hours of Thursday the 24th of May. We are all completely smitten with him and are now settling into the life of a family of 6.

Brand new and adorable!


But while we were patiently (or not so!) waiting for his arrival I spent a bit of time behind my new sewing machine that my dear husband had bought me for my birthday, and the results; a t-shirt dress for Miss Halle. The shirt was purchased and I found some cotton to match, whipped up this gathered skirt without a pattern in sight, in an afternoon. Admittedly, there are things I would do different if I were to make another, but I have one very pleased little recipient, so that's all that matters for now! I am really keen to get into a bit more sewing, but the crochet WIPs are backing up, and there is a newborn in the house too, so my crafting must take the back burner for just a little while me thinks. Oh but you know what? I can breastfeed and crochet at the same time.... how convenient!!!!

Had a laugh to laugh at the chrocheting while breastfeeding comment! I tried the same thing with Zade and Anthony made so much fun of me that I never told anyone, glad to know I'm not the only 'crazy' (Anthony's words) one! Admittedly it didn't work to well for me so well done! :)

He's adorable, congratulations, Emma! Love his name too. Bet he is being cuddled to bits!
I love checking up on what yourself, H, S and B are making; such lovely projects and awesome ideas. It gives me hope that perhaps a lapsed crafter like me might be able to get back into it again ;-)
