Spring is now here and little milly is already 8 weeks old, so I thought it was time to start work on some new designs for the season. I’m thinking cute bunny rabbits, pretty posies, lots of fresh spring colours and some new lines, I want to learn how to make those cute hair bows that are in right now, I’m reserching the boutique one and the bobby bow at the mo, looks like a great excuse to get super girly with sparkly things and ribbon, I love all that, so I can’t wait! Only one little problem… in the form of a very small person called Milly.
So, I’m like a kid at christmas, I’ve got all my shiny new colourful buttons and ribbons all out in front of me ready to go, and then Milly starts to cry. Fine I thought its just about feeding time, so I sit down with her and she has her milk , burp, cuddle ect… I put her down , look at my sewing machine and then she started to grizzle again.
OO KAY…, maybe a clean nappie… get the changing mat out and the wipes and the nappies and nappie change complete, rock little miss trouble to sleep for a while before puting her very carefully back in her chair, soon as her little bum hits the seat you’ve guessed it, Milly is awake again, how does she know!
So, between lovely Milly, picking up my son from school and teenage daughter drama’s my working week has become none exsistant! Not a button sewn or bow created, I seem to have been going around in the same circle like a duracel bunny without actually getting anything done. Does anyone else have this problem, I wonder?
It’s just surprised me how much I’ve missed having the time to make things. But I’m bursting with ideas so I think the break has done me good, hopefully over the weekend the other half can do a bit of baby cuddling so I can get creative, not for to long though… baby hugs are still unbeatable!….
So… Coming soon my new line of completely one off boutique bows and hair clips for the baby who likes to stand (or rather crawl!) out from the crowd!, Haa Haa! ( I think I need to get out more!!!)
Be back soon, Helen xxx
