Spitting Yarn

While there has not been a lot of crafting going on in this house, others have been sewing up a storm.  The very lovely Kirsty dropped by recently to drink tea, eat cake and meet Spike.  She came armed with the most adorable trousers for the little man which she had whipped up that morning!  Check them out…

Aren’t they cute?!  I can’t wait until he fits them.

In the absence of actual craft, I have had to get my fix by buying unneeded accountrements.  Designers Guild were having a warehouse sale near me, so I popped along to see what bargains might be had.  It turned out to be an utter bun fight and with relatively new baby in tow, I couldn’t tolerate more than a quick scuttle round.  I did manage to pick up some beautiful trimmings.  Who knows how or when I will use them, but they are nice to have in the stash.  I particularly love the coral lace – so cheering on a grey day like today.

I promised you more photos of the small one and, of course, there’s nothing more cheering than my little Spike.  Look how he’s grown.  He’s actually more chubby now than in this photo, if such a thing is possible!

Speaking of baby photos, it turns out at Spike’s age, I was a bit weird looking.  I had a ton of dark brown hair (I’m totally blonde now) and, you know how some people are recognisable from their baby pictures?  Well, not me.

I adore this photo, mainly because of the amazing romper suit I am wearing!  I look like a little green elf baby.
