I've been very tired, hence my lack of entries, I've been much hungrier than usual and I've had unusual aches and pains and if you haven't worked it out yet the fact I've had a bit of nauseousness should give it away.
I'm Pregnant!!
My partner and I are so excited. We still can't believe it. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow and am still getting used to my new body!
I had to wait till all my family and friends knew before I could post anything here.
However I have been busy and have a new project completed and about a million I want to have a go at!! So hopefully I'll have a few more projects to show off soon.

This is my latest..
Homemade modern cloth nappies.
I had a picture in my head of what I wanted and needed some easy to follow instructions for my first go. This is the result of the project I found. .
It was pretty easy. The hardest part was working out how to fit the snaps.Turns out I was trying to fit them backwards! I'm thinking of making my next few with Velcro instead of snaps. I''ve no way of knowing how they will fit my new born baby and Velcro would give me more flexibility with the fit. However snaps are more durable as Velcro tends to loos it's grip after time.
Each nappy has a towel material liner that can be pulled out to help it dry quicker and make wash better. The red one is made from flannel bought from the shops and the blue one is made from one of my partners old flannel shirts. And yes I did ask him if I could cut it up first!
My partner was delighted at the idea of our baby wearing a nappy made from one of his flannel shirts. Perfect for the next generation of bogon babies!! Now only another 18 or so nappies to go!! Oh and I can't post this one with out a link! Here it is. Great instructions. I found them really easy to follow.
