Handmade Swap

Thought I would share what I have been up to with the Japanese fabric I received from Buttons by LouLou. I have made the boys some red linen three quarter pants with the fabric pocket and a cute wood button. Cool and comfy for summer! Visit Lou's etsy store to see more great fabrics, hair accessories and buttons.

Stick 'em Up!

We have a dilemma, the house we have bought is situated next to a vacant block and every wild cat in town likes to hang out in it. That is fine until they decide to visit their neighbour..us.
My cat is 12 and is not a fighter, as such she gets beaten up fairly regularly. I do all the right things, I dont let her out after dark and only let her out in the back yard where she is protected by Gilbert the wonderdog. However she was attacked at 2pm down the narrow side of the house where the dog cant go because he is too big. So much for the after dark theory! So off to the vet for a drain in her back ($380), she had been recovering nicely from that last attack, all fur had grown back and things were quiet, until we had a massive storm and she ran and hid under the house, here is the result 12 stitches and more antibiotics ($454)

Any solutions greatly appreciated (and yes that is my messy sewing room floor!)

When the Circus Comes to Town

Benjamin is very excited as the circus has come to town and is in our street! He has not been to the circus and will not be going to the circus because I am too cheap and refuse to pay $155. However being only 2 he loves to look at the lights. Everynight  the tents change colours and as he knows his colours we stand outside our house waiting for the tent lights to change as he shouts out boo, lellow, wed, purple, gween..... priceless.

Little One Baby Interview

The gorgeous Little One Baby magazine has hit the shelves and we were interviewed for the premmie baby section. It was so nice to see our little boys in the magazine! If you do happen to read the interview please let me elaborate on Joshua's early arrival. Labour started weeks before his birth but living in Kalgoorlie I would have been flown by the flying doctors to Perth as they dont have the facilities here for a premmie. I begged them to stop the labour as I knew what it was like to go home without my first baby I sure as hell didnt want to do it again with the second. Luckily the doctors were able to stop the labour but not the contractions, so for the next 3weeks I took tablets every 4hours and had contractions every 30mins. I felt like Big Ben, those darn contractions were spot on 30mins all day and all night.
As well as the interview they popped in a picture of our Peacock Slip

Thanks Little One Baby!
