yawn...

I seem to be doing an unbelievable amount of napping at the moment.  I have an insatiable appetite for sleep right now.  (food too for that matter..)  Beany has been awffy quiet of late so I'm assuming he/she is also a bit knackered!    I probably wouldn't need as much if I were only capable of *staying* asleep long enough to get well rested.  Ah how good that would be.  Its been so very long, I honestly have no memory of how that felt.
My dreams are pretty vivid at the moment too, and with their general horror show nature that's not really helping much either.  With that, and the rain, and the dark, and the no man around... well, I'm sure you'll forgive me if I'm a little fed up.

So, all of this leads me to the usual "too tired to sew" plea.  I managed 40 minutes yesterday, and I got some of a block done for the Simply Colour sampler I'm late with.  No finishes to show yet I'm afraid.   Today's big effort went into cleaning the kitchen, and making a rather awesome big dish of Mac & Cheese.  I had a bit of Gruyere in the fridge needing used, and its addition made the Mac extra cheesy and mouthwateringly stringy and gooey.  Little bit chuffed with that effort!

Just so as this isn't a picture less post, here is an example of the wonderful work mum has been up to.  Apologies to Instagrammers who might have seen this before, but hey, its freakin amazing ;-)

The coolest ever baby bouncer...


I have a lovely plan for tomorrow, to get up and hopefully get comfy (I'll settle for just being able to sit upright...) at the sewing machine with a nice audiobook (Francis Durbridge, vintage detective stories), a rice puddin in the oven, and a pot of tea at my side.  Wish me luck!

    Best bouncer ever! And if you need sleepy then sleep. Your mum will be there soon to help with the sewing but you and Beany come first right now.

    Oh you have my complete sympathy. I remember all too well the sleepiness and sleeplessness that goes with being heavily pregnant. Not long now :)

    That bouncer is definitely the best ever. Lucky Bean (always makes me laugh as a very good friend has a gorgeous cat called Bean/Beany). Poor you with the sleep situation, just do whatever you can to be as rested as possible.......at least once you're not pregnant you won't go to the loo so often!
    Hope your plan for tomorrow works out, sounds perfect. Juliex

    That's a great plan, keeping my fingers crossed and in the meantime I'm sending lots of virtual hugs. You probably already know I love the baby bouncer, but no harm in telling you once again :)

    Hi, Sarah. Cool bouncer, and I see it's business as usual. You still finish tons more than I do and if I can just get an hour a week at the machine lately, I'm happy. Have a happy holiday season and may the new year bring you lots of quilting adventures!
    best, nadia
