Rainy Days bring Sunny Flowers

I was spoiled today when Calli and Greg stopped by my work today. I got asked to go to the office and I wasn't sure why, and I have to say that the tone of the phone call I got didn't make it sound all that appealing! A beautiful bouquet of flowers and two great friends were there to greet me! A wonderful surprise if I do say so myself.

I love how colourful the gerbers are. A nice change to all this grey weather!

Simple things bring great pleasures!!

My New Knitting Bag

I have been meaning to share my new knitting bag for ages, but for some reason it has been difficult to upload my photos from my camera, or essentially I have been a wee bit lazy!

Andy's mum made me this knitting bag for my birthday. Not only was it something that I really needed, but it is so well made and absolutely beautiful! The handles were taken from one of Andy's grandma's knitting bags and inside it was filled with vintage knitting goodies. The buttons on the bag are also vintage and were collected over the years at various flea markets. So not only is it a great bag, but it has a lot of history to go along with it.

It is definately one of my new cherished treasures!

Twelve Weeks and Counting

Well believe it or not, Andy and I are officially starting a family. Betty has been such a great addition.......... why not add a baby to the mix!!!!

I am twelve weeks today and I am feeling better that I have been for the last few months that's for sure!

We are both really looking forward to the months (or years I suppose) ahead and preparing ourselves for the new addition.

We will be sad to see our oldest - Em leave the nest in June, but that will leave us lots of time to set up a babyroom!!! WOW life is going to be different. Change is a wonderful thing for all of us and it is still hard to believe that we are actually growing up! I don't think I will ever feel officially like an adult, but I think that's a good thing!

Good days and sunshine ahead!!!
