grateful: babies

I am grateful that two of my mates had baby girls this week- bizarrely both at the same time- but about 600km apart. I am grateful that these babies were born happy and  healthy into loving homes where they will be cared for and loved hugely.

I am grateful the mums and dads are excited about their new babies.
I am grateful I could find time to make a present for one of the babies the other day.
I am grateful that my friend won't mind the wonk factor of the little quilt I made (above, as opposed to the other wonky one I made last week)  especially for the sling she will be carried in for at least the first few months.

What do you make for new babies? Any more ideas?

Grateful: A whole stack of it.

I am grateful that Chef seems to have a very mild case of The Fever ( or fever las vegas as we are calling it ). So mild in fact that he has gone on the much planned for trip to Tassie with his mate, driving another mates van and boat back to Tassie.

I am grateful that Chef has cooked me so much food for the week because he knows I will have Lindt chocolate for dinner otherwise. Thanks Chef. xx ( he also made sure I was stocked with chocolate too)

I am grateful for choosing such a great husband.


I am grateful for the encouragement I got the other day. ( thank you!)


I am grateful that Busy is being good while I solo parent for a week. It is only day 2 but so far so good. I am grateful that I got to see her in 3D glasses today when we went to see Gnomeo and Juliett ( well three quarters of it- which was fine - I know how it ends!) - hilarious.

I am grateful that on Monday our time something really big is going to happen for My Bearded Pigeon ( about 6 weeks earlier than I thought and of course the week Chef is away!!!)

But mostly I am grateful that I found this dress today and now it is mine.  It is beautifully embroidered, my photo is not doing it justice...

Sure it is not a patch on this creation by Kylie- (go and look at it- it is so fabulous!) and yes it cost me more than I should have spent but I DESERVE it!!! ( it wasn't crazy expensive Chef- honest and at least I am not telling you I bought it ages ago. I am being honest!)

Come back Monday morning and I can show you the big feature- or I may be too busy..... or maybe nothing at all will happen. EeeeK!!!! ( I don't know which one scares me more)

 More grateful here! Thanks Maxabella.

Today I am grateful for...

Today I am grateful for lovely friends, who are so kind to me and love Busy so much. 

I am grateful for a little girl who loves nothing more than picking flowers and  playing hide and seek. When we came home, she planted the flowers in the ground again and watered them- I am grateful that she is still so sweet and little that she thinks they will grow.

I am grateful that she now loves rhinobugs and collects them now.

I am grateful that she wants to be a Mummy when she grows up and come to work with me so we can be together all the time.

I am grateful to be loved by her and that she is in my life.

I am just so bloody lucky.

And grateful.

More grateful here, thanks Maxabella.
