Crafty challenge 1 down, 49 to go !! - baby's rag book













This has been taking up space for yonks because I knew it would annoy me when finished because the pages aren't all exactly the same size !! Oh well, it's finished now !!
Right, what's next ?!!

Shaggy dog story


Didou suddenly looks almost as big as Vicky since she's been to the groomers !!


Pretending to be a cuddly toy !!





Picnic in the park

As always happens when Mike has to have lunch with a client, we headed off to goat park for a picnic, nature walk, play area and well deserved ice cream !


looking for moles !!












Ahh they've been brought up well, they kept going "ooooh the people on that table were naughty, they left all their rubbish, that's not nice for the planet" !!!


















Sophie looking slightly cheesed off because the ice cream she chose ended up smaller than everyone else's !! But it all worked out ok in the end because Juliette wanted to swap anyway !!


Juliette's photo of me - is she trying to tell me something, like ... all we can see now is your huge belly ?!!


Sophie's photo of me !!





The birdhouse in the background - totally mesmerised Juliette because there was a dead bird in there !!!



Look carefully. Arty shot of both girls on the swings !!
















I'm sure I have exactly these photos of me when I was a kid - some things never change !!



Getting a bit too big now !

*clunk* I must be mad !!

That's me throwing down the gauntlet to myself !!

After looking around online, I keep seeing people doing crafty challenges (make 50 home-made items in a year) and a booky challenge (read 50 books in a year) so I thought I'd try and do both ! I must be mad to start this a month before giving birth but it's just a bit of fun ! The crafty challenge is a kick up the bum to finish off my numerous crafts projects that just need the finishing touches and make some place in my overflowing crafts cupboards. And for the books, I'm sure I read that many already, I'm just intrigued to see how many I get through in a year. I'll keep you posted !!

Ooops in at the last minute !!

I thought I'd already posted these ones but obviously not. One day I might get some nice sensible grandparent-grandkid photos (but I won't hold my breath !!!)




















































Some random pics from the last few weeks to finish !











So eggs-citing !!



Phase one (or should I say competition one !!) - pre boiled egg !!




Boiled eggs for tea, girls !!

All decorated and ready to grow some hair !



Watering the cress seeds

and a few days later - ta da !!!



Now that might be a really bad accent but you should hear the girls doing a Scottish accent when they've never heard one before !!! The things we get up to ... !!!
