Is it...or Isn't it?

There is a vine in our backyard that I was sure was a passion fruit vine. It climbs and curves and twists like a passionfruit vine and the leaves are similar. 

Last spring/summer it grew wildly but no fruit or flower eventuated and it kinda looked a little sad in the winter. But again this year it has pepped up and making its way around the fence it is against and suddenly it has created lovely exotic looking flowers.

And I always thought that if it flowered it fruited, or was it the other way around - flower then no fruit?? hmmm

BUT there is a discussion on whether it really is a passionfruit vine or not!

Is this a flower of a passionfruit??

Its beginning to look alot like christmas

I love christmas. Im just saying.

And with the new addition, another santa sack is required. This means - MORE FABRIC!

And another year on, another set of christmas pajamas are needed. This means - MORE FABRIC!

Im also keen to make some fabric decorations to hang on the tree. Hopefully we can make time for this.

ONE month, Sunday

Time flies when your having fun.

I must admit I had forgotten what it was like to have a little baby around.

It is tiring, challenging and all consuming of you

BUT

it is magical and amazing and so much fun too.

He is quite the drinker and had put on 1kg in 3 weeks! the average is 100-200grams a week! 

Thats my boy. 

We got to the library yesterday and I got some baby books to brush up on motherhood, and also got a workout book to get this body into shape for summer.... thats when I find the time (or make the time!)

Very yummy Rocky Road

With all the presents for the baby, I thought my bigger sweeties would enjoy a treat. Some yummy rocky road

It's super easy to make. Chop up half a bag of marshmallows, half a bag of Lolly raspberries and a box of Oreo cookies. Melt a block of chocolate and mix all together then pop into the fridge

It doesnt take long to make but even less time to eat it tastes so good!

Its a BOY

Look what we created. 

We have been blessed with the cutest little man who I have totally fallen in love with. 

Already a week old! I cant believe its already been a week.

Sewing up a storm

This late in pregnancy I have become a bit of a house hermit! Though this has left me time for more sewing and I have found it really relaxing. I have made a few colour on the go's for gifts and a few doorstops and cushions. I was quite impressed with my cushion making. My friend asked if I could recover some cushions that were falling apart and I really took my time and carefully measured up and cut out. I was extremely proud at the finish and the way I had worked out how to copy them.

I have also been increasing my fabric stash lately (naughty) and I found these fabrics I could n't go home without.

But I have just been staring at them longing to make something but not wanting to cut it up!! Silly really. Though I cant make up my mind... maybe a bag or an apron or even a lap quilt, Oh my! the decisions!

Another craft adventure I am on is making a quiet book for my niece. I have been wanting to do this for awhile and after looking at some other very inspiring blogs have started  creating one.

It feels like I planned for ages, maybe procrastinating my start. But I finally found a great tutorial here to get me started.

Im also loving making softies, and this is my latest...

Beetle Bug

Next is Henny house! 

Candy apple day

I'm still Pregnant!!! 39+ weeks and we are all on edge hoping it happens any day. I was feeling down and over it but since the holidays have pepped up abit, thankfully.

We have been enjoying the holidays alot. A few days have been spent in our pjs! A few playdates, bowling, the movies and

The other day we had our friend Olivia over and thought it would be fun to make candy apples. They look so pretty, ruby red. They also tasted good and kept little people busy for the afternoon!

I have also been playing with my new Iphone! Such a lucky girl to receive a new Iphone, just out of the blue. Im still getting used to it but have checked out a few aps (games mostly! haha) but really I haven't even scratched the surface. 

I got a camera ap where it has funny backgrounds 

The only pain is keeping the kids away from it!
