It's been a while...

Well I was hoping to keep my blog updated a little more frequently than this but I still have no internet at home :( The cost of basic utilities and groceries has just rocketed and we just can't afford it. Anyway, I'm now 26 weeks gone and finally have a bump to show! We've found out it's a little girl (not 100% of course) and are naming her Seren Lyn. All the sickness and nausea and exhaustion finally wore off after about 3 1/2 months. Now my main problem is pain in my lower back and hip joints. We've been buying a little something every week for a while now and finally think we have just about everything and a little bit more. My mum-in-law is buying us a pram with all the bits and my mum is buying us nappies as we've decided to use cotton reusable ones. (The modern version not the old terry nappies.) People keep saying make the most of the peace and just the two of us but neither of us can wait 'til she's born. We're both counting down the weeks already lol! Apart from that life has been pretty boring really.

On the stitching side of life... I finally finished my Baby Girl Sunshine Line this week. It's my first 'proper' finish of the year. The only other things I've done having been a small card for a friend and putting together my poppy coasters. Now I just have to get it to the framers. I've also 99% finished a little project for another friend. I just need to add 4 beads and make it up into a small cushion. I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment because I've been feeling better and also because Craig has been nagging me to finish the Sunshine Line project for ages! Next project is a Flower Fairy that I've started. I absolutely hate it but it's for someone else and they're paying me so I shall perservere! One of these days I will manage to get some pics on here too...
