Bath mat

Gorgeous bath mat, yes?

Looks easy enough?

2 hour project!

Took 4.5hrs, all my sanity and it'll be the last bathmat I make. 

The instructions confused me.

Now I'm regretting telling my sister that I'll be making her daughters birthday present....

Post It Note Tuesday

Memory

Maybe not an audio book as such... (no copyright infringement was intended)

We read a story to Jensen each night. One of the books we read EVERY night is Possum Magic.

Last night, Jensen said to me when I started reading it was "Not you, Mummy." I had to be quiet and turn the pages and he did the rest!

So this morning, lying in our bed, I recorded him "reading" Possum Magic - from memory.



hmm.. this isn't working the way I wanted. I don't know how to get the audio file off my iPhone onto my computer and onto this blog...


In essence, Jensen has memorized the first half of Possum Magic.

My entry for RRSAHM's sweet crappest-giveaway-ever entry

Lollies. I love lollies. I have a soft spot for Jersey Caramels. I just love anything caramel. And I love jellybeans (not sucking up Lori, I swear!), especially the ones you get from the chemist.

And yes. Lori is awesome! Slightly groveling, but also sincere.

Best of luck to anyone entering... However, I think I'm the first entrant (coz Lolly Giveaway - who's not going to enter!?) so again, good luck !

And thanks to Lori for hosting your competition ;)

I so totally had something great to say today.


But I lost it. My brain is stupid.


So, I'll make something up.. It's a bit random - but isn't life like that sometimes?


I don't think that women suffer from PMS... Well, I don't ;) I think I'm always this bitchy and it's just this time of the month that my husband notices.  And complains. Perhaps he's the one that suffers from it and bitches that I'm bitchy coz it's HIS time of the month... 


I decided that while Jensen was napping today, I'd sit down and start a sewing project.  I decided that I'd like one of the projects out of the book I borrowed from the local library. They ALL need at least two different bits of c0-ordinating fabric AND ribbon. I have fabric, none co-ordinating and NO ribbon. I wanted to go to Lincraft or Spotlight this afternoon, but it's 3:30 and I've had 3 tequila shots (hey!  It's Sunday and I was making the most of Jensen napping) and I'm in my pajamas. Lincraft is 10 mins up the road and closes at 4. Spotlight is 30 mins away and closes at 5. How about I just wait until J is at daycare tomorrow and work on it then. Much better idea.


I've been thinking about what I'd do for Jensen's 3rd birthday. My sister is only having a "party" for her kids (she has a boy and a girl) every 2nd year (eg: 4, 6, 8 etc). My mother-in-law reckons my husband didn't have a birthday parties. I think she was saying he had 2. The year my husband turned 5, they had his brother. So money was tight.


I only have the one child, and apparently, that's all I'll ever have. Wait til tomorrow's post and I'll elaborate! So why not have a "party" every year? I am thinking of following my sister's idea, so this year it'll just be small. They're always small anyway, as we don't have many friends - especially those with kids.


So, now I have an idea! I don't know if I should tell you, in case the idea is "stolen".      ;)
It's a little over a month away,  so you wont have long to wait ! 


Catch ya tomorrow! xx

Jensen is having a sleepover at Nanna's tonight, so husband took me to dinner!! We went to an Indian restaurant, Andrew ordered what seemed like half the menu. Entree, main, pappadums, naan, raita, lime pickle and drinks...


Ugh. I am so full... It was tasty, but omg, did we really need that? I'm not going to need to eat for a week!

Name that Teddy!

There's a Teddy here, cute as can be. Functional too! You can take his tummy out and put in the microwave. It's a hear pack! He was mine but was adopted by Jensen at 2am the other night. Once he worked out he was a "warm Teddy" the only time I can have him is to put him in the microwave and heat him up!!

However, he/she has no name. Jensen's other 2 teddies do.. PJ - so named coz that's what's embroidered on his foot, and Wanda - I have no idea how Wanda got his name... It something Jensen came up with all on his own.

Right about now i'd post a photo of what the bear looks like, but Internet technical difficulties are making it too difficult. So maybe tomorrow..

Now. I'd like you to come up with names for the Teddy, I'll put the to Jensen and he can decide! I'd make it an official
Competiton,but I have no prizes. You'll just have to make do with the satisfaction knowing you named the bear!

It's gotta be something we can all remember and something a 2yo can say, and isn't going to regret calling him that (like I do with my Teddy... Yep! He's still around!)

So, let's hear it!
