What a week!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while, I have a lot going on and a lot in the pipeline, so I think next week you will be bombarded with post's!

I am preparing for my little girls baptism this Sunday, I have made 2 dresses for her, so I will post about them.

Plus I have a few quilts on the go, so I want to show you them too but again you will have to wait till this weekend is over and I can relax a bit more, plus fingers crossed, the builder will be finished this weekend and then over the next week or 2 we can decorate and move the kids in to their new bedroom and hubby and I can stop sleeping on an air bed on our living room floor!

My next project.

While I have been blogging I have found so many great blogs and tutorials. The tutorial I want to try the most, at the moment, it from Bee in my Bonnet. I love this blog and has so many fun things for you to make with really easy instruction's, which I need!

The one idea that I thought was a Must Have and I need it NOW, is this!
It's a mini design board, I actually wan t a whole wall one day. So for now I will have to make do with these, they are so cute and so usable, I'm sure it won't be long before I can't work with out one!

Don't they just look yummy!

I have finally found the foam board it says to use at my local office supplies shop, so I will be picking it up tomorrow and hopefully, if Millie lets me, I will make at least one, Ooh I can't wait!!!

Why do we do it?!

A  few years ago we had building work going on at home, I was 6 months pregnant at the time with my 4th child. The work was going to take 2 weeks, well we all know what builders are like so I was banking on 4 weeks and it would all be over and done with and we would have a 3rd bedroom, in the loft.
Long story short, we moved back into our home, which still only had 2 bedrooms, 2 weeks before Christmas and when my baby girl was 5 weeks old!!
We tried to sell the house, but again we all know what the market is like!
So here we are again, taking a different route to get 3 bedrooms, and we have the builders in again, this time good ones.
My husband (Richard) and I are sleeping downstairs on an air bed in our living room.

This picture was taken at the Roman Baths in Bath, we went for our 10 year wedding anniversary in October last year. We stayed in a cottage on a working farm and are going back this Easter with the children. I can't wait! Take a look at it here, The 4* Granary Holiday Cottage.

Anyway back to the point...So this last week or so has been so busy, emptying our bedroom and reorganizing downstairs. Plus still trying to work and make Olivia's Baptism dress, which is another story...but as well as all that, I have also some exciting news, but I will share that tomorrow!

Hope you are all well?
