Im not hiding honest!

Sorry ive been in hiding ! Basically wee man is superglued to me like a limpet, but he seems to have calmed down  a bit in the past week thankfully! Ive even managed some craft time! But mostly we are having the house re furbished so furnture and clutter is all over the place , the attics being turned into a bedroom with en suite shower room, and our old bedroom is being turned into a smaller bedroom with corridor so the 2 lower bedrooms can bth access the current bathroom which is currently off our bedroom so our sons have to wlk through our bedroom to use the bathroom..you can imagine the mess! Ive repainted our living room i love it and all it cost ws £13 for a tin of paint!
Two firsts for us this week..keon middle son aged 4 has finally allowed the hair dresser to cut his hair he now sports a very grown up big boy hair cut ready for starting big school in september im so proud yet also sad having looked through an old post about baby wearing him, im wondering where the time has gone? The other first was i took luke and the other 2 lads to the childs matinee all by myself (i know im crazy) They behaved perfectly and i didnt realise that babys where quite common, im going to make it a monthly treat, anyway ttfn see you soon and have a great holiday!

fat quarter trousers .

So i had a fab fat quarter but the print was too big to make into a nappy and it got me wondering what i could make with it instead..trousers! They are designed for now as it used up almost the whole width of the fat quarter so he wont have a great deal of time in them but i feel so satisfied lol.

Knitty knickers!

Currently working on 2 soaker patterns made using 4ply sock yarns , seems to be lots about but not that many using sock yarns, or are knitted flat and seamed, i prefer mine top down and in the round! The first is a knitted pair adapted from a pre war pattern, after much configuring to get the right gauge using modern yarn sizes and needles, i think I'm there! Sizes Then where made bigger with a tighter leg cuff so that they lasted longer rather than the fitted look that only lasts a few months or so until baby grows, plus i do love vintage looks. The second is a crochet pair which hopefully will be one of those plug in calculator tut type patterns, Are you interested in them? Both haven't been tested especially not other sizes so come as virgin patterns. Excited to be offering them to you later on next month.
