Best day/Bad night

Today has been the best day ever and we've not even left the house yet!! By ever i mean since Caleb was born. He's been an angel...he's slept slept great, waking up for a feed and change and back to sleep again. He's even been content just playing on his mat when he has been awake. It makes a really nice change! I got so much done - i was able to sort out all his clothes, tidy and clean and even stitch for a whole hour! An hour!! That hasnt happened in a loooong time. I enjoyed the me time so much......................We're going to my mum and dads soon for a Chinese takeway as DH is out with work tonight.

I wrote that yesterday (Friday) but didnt get time to finish it. I spoke too soon. The best day ever turned into a bad night which is, quite frankly, typical. He didnt sleep til 2am and woke up 4am and then was really fussy the rest of the morning. He's asleep now. My days are his nights aaaahh

So, i will take this opportunity now to show some stitchy pictures. I havent shown a picture of Caleb's birth sampler since this post in November. Here's how it looks at the moment

There's not too much more to do, so this might actually be my first ever big (ish) finish to be framed. I have no big framed pieces in my home at all!! I have loads of big unfinished pieces in a box though LOL...speaking of which here's the latest Feather Fairy update (all the stitching was done prior to baby's arrival). I was working on this as part of the Stitch a Mirabilia Blog and will get back to the SAL at some point in time

So glad it's the weekend! DH being home makes a big difference...the extra pair of hands is a relief :-) Enjoy your weekend!

No news yet

As you can see from my baby gaga pregnancy ticker above, baby really should be here by now...and isnt!!! Aaaaahhh. Its frustrating. However, trying to be positive, you're not pregnant that often in life so i should just enjoy it whilst it lasts right?! I think its the not knowing whats coming and when thats hard - im a relatively organised person and i like to be in control - this is just outwith those specifications!! Patience Cheryl patience (did i mention im impatient too? LOL) Unfortunately, i will have to be taken into hospital to be induced if something doesn't happen soon. It goes against everything ive wanted and, to be honest, i dread induction, but so be it. So, that'll happen sometime between Friday and Monday i think. I see my midwife again tomorrow and details will be arranged with the hospital. So if you believe in prayer, as i do, prayers are much appreciated!

In the meantime i'll post some WIP pictures. Here is my progress this week on my Feather Fairy for the Mirabilia SAL

and here is my progress on my Dear Diary Landscape for the Me, Myself and I RR (bad light in this photo)
