I dont want this blog to become a baby-centred blog, but obviously your first child is a big part of anyones life, and with my life there doesnt appear to be much room for anything else! So, there will be sewing, but there will be baby stuff too; after all, this was never meant to be a sewing only blog in the first place.
Molly turned 3 months old this week. Weird. Already its hard to believe that she was ever so tiny, she is growing so fast. And as for remembering a time without her.... Was there ever? Really? Nah.... dont believe you.
She smiles now, pretty much on demand too which is fun. Grampa gets most of them, but then he's a funny guy. She is no longer screaming all the time either. Phew. But she is a bossy wee lass. She is wonderfully well behaved most of the time, and so unbelievably adorable when she smiles, but yes, when she has had enough of anything she lets you know in no uncertain terms and you'd better bloody fix it fast mummy. Unfortunately mummy is mostly clueless as to what particular thing little moo is tired of, and never fast enough at fixing things... Just as well granny is here!
In other news, Miss Ellie had us all worried with 2 weeks of puking. Most expensive hairball ever. Huge relief all round that it was just a hairball. I say hairball, but it was actually more like a 4", solid hair turd. Gross.
The biggest news though is that I got to sew some this week! Massive amount of help and encouragement and Molly watching from granny, and I am finally up to date with my bee commitments. Although I feel so bad for Fiona who will be receiving 3 months in one go... So sorry!
Sneak peeks only I'm afraid. It was so good to sew again though. A little frustrating to have such limited supplies with me mind you. God knows what I was thinking when I packed the fabric I brought. Well, I guess its safe to say I probably wasnt thinking much at all, about anything, at the time. As much as I love being at mum and dads, I'm not enjoying being separated from my stash, not at all. A limb is missing... Is it too unreasonable to consider spending £300 odd on a return flight and taxis just to spend an hour in my cupboard again? (and come away with a 30kg suitcase full?)...
Sorry, who are you again? ;o)
ReplyDeleteOnly a 30kg suitcase on the way back? Slacker... ;o)
Molly is adorable and I am glad to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovey to hear how you're getting on and seeing photos of little Mollie. It is hard to believe it's 3 months already. And I'm amazed you can find any time for sewing!
ReplyDeleteHaha, i would be traumatised spending that long withouyt my stash, you're doing brilliantly considering!
ReplyDeleteYay for everything!! Yay for your beautiful baby, yay for no more hairball and YAY FOR SEWING!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you should take this opportunity to supplement your stash by buying more fabric where you're at. :)
Aww what a sweetie! It's good to hear from you x
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable......I feel your pain about being separated from your stash.
ReplyDeleteMiss M is adorable!! Glad to hear Miss Elliecat is ok :-) Yay for you're sewing again. I would be having severe withdrawal symptoms if I was separated from my sewing for 3 months!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you again! Great news that Molly is growing up so cute and smiley - and I reckon it is best to know your own mind and make sure everyone jumps to attention. Poor Elliecat.
ReplyDeleteCompletely understand re the sewing and stash. All my stuff is packed away and hiding in various places around the house. It is such a major operation to find what I want, set up and then pack away again that I'm hardly sewing at all - it just doesn't work it when I usually only have 20 mins here and there. Juliex
Oh she is such a cutie! I think you'd be better spending £300 on new fabric delivered to you! ;-) Xx
ReplyDeleteYay for smile ans sewing - I'd honestly just do some online shopping, and save yourself the bother of leaving the sofa!!
ReplyDeleteSpend the £300 on new stash instead! Glad to hear that everything is settling down now and great news about Ellie x
ReplyDeleteMolly moo is growing so fast! So glad she is calming down a bit for you! I'm happy to send you some fqs from my stash if you need any particular colours? Jxo
ReplyDeleteOh congrats Sarah, she is beautiful! I agree with Lu, just order loads of new stuff while you're stash-less :o)
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you are all doing well. Molly looks so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly is so cute! Glad to hear you are doing ok, the first few months are such a whirlwind!
ReplyDeletemolly is beautiful!!! I'm loving the spending £300 on new fabric idea! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteMiss Moo is absolutely gorgeous and we'd love to have Molly updates as you'd like to give them! So glad things are looking up for Ellie too. I was thinking about her just this morning.
ReplyDeleteOf course your beautiful girl should be part of your blog - she is so adorable. Well done for getting some sewing done :)
ReplyDeleteGood news on all fronts then really, glad Elliecat is OK.
ReplyDeleteAwwww.......she's so gorgeous! I'm afraid that you won't fully understand what she wants until she starts talking properly at around two and a half! My youngest decided that the best way to tell me that she didn't want me to take the electric plug out of her hand was to bite me the other day! Thankfully it does get a little easier when they're older!
ReplyDeleteWell done you on getting some sewing in - your doing better than me at the moment x
Molly is beautiful! The first 3 months are (in my opinion) the worst and then it just gets better and better (until it gets even worse again but hopefully that won't be until puberty!) will phone soon!
ReplyDeleteAw, Molly is gorgeous! Any chance you can have your house on Shetland put on the back of a lorry and transported to the mainland for less than the prices of plane tickets, etc?!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm so glad Elliecat is okay!
I think you could spend £290 on fabrics right now and it would be a saving on the alternative!!!!!! Lovely to see pics of madam!
ReplyDeleteShe's a real cutie! Well done on sewing again, I've done v little since the boy was born.(and you should definitely spend the money on getting fabric delivered to you.....)
ReplyDeleteI reckon Catherine is right, buy a new stash with the flight money...so much more fun!
ReplyDeleteAh, the wee lass is a cute one, isn't she ?~! Babies are tough to understand when they don't talk; super to have mum and dad to be your guiding lights and think how much you'll know for Molly's sibling, if there is one later. Can I send you some fabric? I have more than I need. Let me know what colors you're missing the most if the idea appeals to you. Hairballs are the grossest items ever to exit my cat; I'm glad Ellie recovered well and hope the vet's bill didn't set you too far back.
ReplyDeleteMany days of sun and laughter are wised for you and the family. Three months is a turning point I think for babies and they get to be a lot more FUN now and in the coming months. The smiles make up for lots, though, don't they?
How big is she now! Hurrah for granny and grampa! If you need stash fabrics, shout, I can send some no problem!
ReplyDeletehey sweetie. I'm so behind on my blog reading! Hope you have been enjoying the sunshine x
ReplyDeleteShe's just too darned cute!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd don't feel bad about falling off the radar - I am only coming back after nearly five months of not blogging and I did NOT have a baby to look after. lol.
