A Mad House

BEFORE

Its crazy busy at the moment in the Brusselsprouts house. We have more new stockists which I will reveal soon and are madly sewing and crocheting away now that more wool has arrived. My blogging and emailing have taken a back seat but I will be back on deck soon.

AFTER

Tomorrow I Diet So Tonight I Feast

So today my plan was to pull a few weeds and get a little bit of sun at the same time, until that is I put my  bikini on.... yes folks the 15kilos I put on having 2 children in 2 years is still lingering.... around my butt and my stomach and my thighs. I can no longer use the "but I just had a baby" excuse as the baby is now 1. So I have decided to try a diet. I have never done a diet before so this should be interesting as I have no will power and hate to exercise.

I am not telling my husband about this diet as he drives a truck for 12 hours a day eats loads of crap ie a pie and flavoured milk for breakfast (must be a truckie thing) and is always losing weight. I hate his high metabolism! However I am determined to fit back into my jeans by my birthday in March and by blogging about it I might just do it..............

New Winter Stockist MissChief Maker

Thankyou My Child Magazine!!!

Guess what I found in my inbox??

Nestled in between the junk of winning an obscure countries lottery and being the beneficiary of a will of someone I never have known was a lovely little email from My Child Magazine letting me know they "love" our dresses and have done a small write up on them on their blog.

Check it out here, and to top it off our dresses are on their home page too....woohoo!! Thankyou My Child you have turned a really bad day (long story) into a great one.
