For the life of me I cant figure out what I have done wrong, its probably a threading problem, even though I followed my mother-in-laws handy tip of just tying your new string on to the Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-70342913782210019472008-10-09T09:33:00.002+08:002008-10-09T09:43:14.669+08:00NAPPY SHOP ANNOUNCEMENTWell since I am so good at making up my mind....

After 2 previous C-Sections, I very much wanted a VBA2C, but with the lack of support from my hubby and family (more worry than anything) and being under the care of an Obstetrician, those hopes were very much crushed from the Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-62717994859904101372008-10-06T18:50:00.002+08:002008-10-06T19:05:40.711+08:00Happy Birthday to me!!Yes, today was my birthday, and god I feel old!!! I turned 27 and I have been married for 8years and I have 3 children - 7, 5 and a 15mth old. Please tell me I'm not alone????But it was a great birthday and I got spoiled which was even better!

They were originally a bit tight to put on, but because the wool had some stretch in it, wasnt long before they fit really well!

So, I thought with the time that I wasnt in her room rocking her to sleep I might as well be doing something constructive. And these were the outcome I think these are really cute, and the first time I have tried the frill around the legs. The frills and the waistband were done with someAnitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-22479393313248209002008-09-22T14:38:00.007+08:002008-10-01T15:19:40.176+08:00And finshed these as well...I was going to post this tomorrow, because I felt a bit odd posting twice within an hour, but I am really happy with these boy shorts and my model. She actually co-operated today, and I have some very cute shots, which involves her being topless, scruffy hair and lots of cheeky smiles. But I'm not going to post these for obvious reasons, which is a shame because they really are so cute and would Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-85954275844386097292008-09-22T14:10:00.008+08:002008-10-01T15:18:48.939+08:00Pants finally done, after not alot of sleepI finally finished these pants after not alot of sleep and lots of perserverance!! Happy with the finished product and just upset I didnt make them big enough to fit my little princess!! They are done in the Patons DK Smoothie yarn, with the colours reminding me of confetti. I just love this yarn, because it is 100% acrylic, its not prone to felting like wool and it can be machine washed and Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-61093991935994575682008-09-18T16:47:00.008+08:002008-10-01T15:18:07.400+08:00SHOP CHANGEAfter having coffee and Pavlova with my smart, genious friend Samone. I have decided to change my shop to custom orders only. I wasn't finding enough time to make the crochet items I originally decided to do, along with customs I already planned to do. This way people will be getting exactly what they want in the size they need. I understand not every baby is the same, and I would much prefer Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-49355864548350139762008-09-17T09:16:00.001+08:002008-10-01T15:17:24.485+08:00Oh So Tired.....I was up until 11.30pm last night croheting these, getting most of it done, so they can be listed in the shop by Thursday. By the time I checked the kiddies and had a shower it was 12am, I get into bed and my little man gets up to go the toilet and wants a drink. Sort him out and finally curl up under the covers and my little princess starts, and up with her I was until 3.30am. Finally get back Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905078339963921481.post-19774874412674129572008-09-15T09:27:00.001+08:002008-10-01T15:15:59.846+08:00Lookee, Lookee at what I've done!!!I finished my cargos last night, and also finished a skirt that I had been working on previously. I'm happy with the finished products, I hope you are tooThey are a size small, with a gussett in the crotch area with little mock pockets on either side of the leg. I would love to see these on a little bubba, but dont have any friends with little boy bubbas, but I think they would be adorable on.

I have been a SAHM since falling pregnant with my first nearly 8 years ago, and its all this time at home (and 2 more kiddies in between) that I needed to find something else to do.So, I purchased a hook, yarn and a "How to" of Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060011653067883393noreply@blogger.com0
