Sneaking into My creative space just in the nick of time! Before bubs arrived i finished and sent this to my brooch swap partner.



Susie has done a fantastic job at organising the swap, you can head here to see all the fabulous and unique brooches these talented people made.

This little package is heading off to my partner, i'll be posting the gorgeous brooch i received in the coming days!

.....and then there were 5!

Apologies for the break in transmission - and i was on such a roll to with my crafty projects too, but this time i do have a good excuse!

It seems that our newest little poppet couldn't wait any longer to join us on the outside world.

It's A Girl!!
Our newest baby girl joined us on 4.6.2011 at 3am weighing 3kg

Introducing.....

She caught us by surprise arriving 3 and 1/2 weeks early but is happy and healthy.

After a week in hospital with some complications we are happy to be home, getting to know each other and enjoy some rest and recovery.


We're still in a bit of a baby bubble with the cycle of feeding, sleeping and nappy changes. Thankfully Mr JK is home to do the school drop offs, washing, cooking, running around and general liaising duties with the outside world !


But we're all rather smitten, can't you tell?!




and with a little face like this how could you not be? (a biased mum perhaps?!)

Looking forward to being back with some crafty projects soon - i already have some super cute baby girl project im itching to get stuck into!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Creative Space.....

Just playing around in my creative space this week. It was my birthday on Tuesday and i was super spoilt and excited to get this new baby - a bit of a step up from the old compact point and shoot (though i did serve me well!)


And after bubs in born i have been booked into a photography course as the other part of my pressie! EEEK can't wait!! Look out, now i have this NO ONE is safe and the kids will be the ones to have 100 thousand piccies taken of them - and just wait till bubs is here! I'll have baby photos coming out of my ears.

But for now its just a bit of crafting going on. I ordered these delicious new fabrics to make some baby stuff, namely the all important nappy bag.



so here is a little sneaky peek at it which i am working on....


Hopefully ill be bringing you the finished bag soon so stay tuned! be sure to visit other my creative spaces.

Thanks for stopping by!

Brooch Swap Sneak peak

In amongst all the excitement of the giveaway day, i have been pushing along with several other projects, including several swaps that i have signed myself up for!

There nothing like looming deadlines to get myself into gear - Baby due in 4 weeks people! Where did that time go?! The brooch swap deadline also falls about that time and susie has kindly set up a linky to share our works in progress.



So here is my brooch progress still in various stages of construction. Lets hope it turns out like i am imagining...... unlike the nappy bag saga - but that is a story for another day!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Creative Space.....

A bit of a dreary old day here, the sort of weather to pull the ugg boots on and get some serious craftiness on!

Instead i have coughing, wheezing, runny noses and little ones home sick so whether i get to this is another story. But if i do get a chance, I'm back in nesting mode which means organising the kids room - trying to decorate a boy/girl shared room has proved quite a challenge. Fortunately the room is big enough to do a 'his' and 'hers' side.

So here's a little sneak peek of is what i am working for little miss...



Hopefully i'll bring you the completed project in the coming days.

Be sure to visit my creative spaces which now has a home all of it's own

Thanks for stopping by!
