Days gone by...

and so I'm back from outer space...well, not really. I was at my parents place trying Firecracker out in a single bed to see if her sleep would improve...and it did :) So it might be time to say adios to her cot which tears me up. 

This cot, a Touchwood, was bought online but 2nd hand. We sanded it, re-stained it and then varnished it with all the love in the world. A brand new mattress, linens etc. It's gorgeous! And now it's going to live in the garage with all her other 'baby' things until we are either a) blessed with #2 or b) decide 1 is enough and sell/donate the lot. Of course, we'll keep some of it in the event (B) is the outcome.

I would love to get her something like this but BOY are they pricey!!!

So I watched a movie last night...Crazy Stupid Love I think it was called. Couldn't remember the title due to Ryan Gosling's ridiculous body!!! Love his lines and the bit where he says 'men won the battle of the sexes when women started pole-dancing for fitness'!!...LMAO! It's actually not that funny but if that man farted in front of me I'd laugh my ass off just to demonstrate my enthusiasm.

Steve Carell was also very good...especially with his velcro-fastened wallet...but that Ryan Gosling, (I have to say his full name because he shares his name with my brother and that's not ok), My sweet Lord!

I don't go to the movies, thanks to the EQ's I'm not a huge fan of big, dark spaces crammed with people so instead I'm kicking it old school and joined the local video store :) I've also joined the library. I'm such a grown up :P

Today I completed a major part of my quilt/duvet construction (see pic).

I have sewn the lengths and now I just need to join them together and bind the edges. 

The last bit is to sew the whole piece onto the White duvet cover and it's done. I'm also matching it up with the pillow by sewing 2 of the patchwork panels together in a similar style to the duvet. Can't wait to put it on Firecracker's big girl bed :)

One last thing: who remember these?

Keep shining xxx
