Babybot.

The most I achieved with my spring swap project today was photographing it this morning – but I DID get something done today!

My Mum sent me some opped baby clothes last week, including a plain white jumpsuit, since The Boy was coming with us today, & driving, almost as an afterthought I grabbed the little suit & some embroidery stuff as we were heading out the door – it is amazing what you think of when you feel obliged to make something, when you are actually making ‘making’ a priority.

I am under no illusions as to the quality of my embroidery, or even the design itself as I just stitched freehand & hoped for the best, but I think the wee robot turned out cute enough, and with babies, well, cute is all that matters.

NEED

Robot nesting dolls…?! Um… so I totally need these. I mean… bubba#2 needs them. Yes. That’s what I mean.

We are SO going with robots. They are so frikkin cool.

Rockabye Baby.

I do love the interwebs. Looking for one thing always, ALWAYS, leads to another, and you find things you never knew you needed, that’s how looking for nicer preggo clothes turned into window shopping for bubba clothes which led me then to these CDs which I most assuredly do NEED.

 

Rockabye Baby – lullaby renditions of baby’s favourite rock bands.

Oh.

Yes.

My favourites; Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails & Metallica.

Naaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww…..!

Okay… so I WAS having a bit of a peruse around online for new maternity stuff, really I was, but then I got distracted & started compiling a long wish list of cute wee boy stuff… and I do mean WISH list, but, seriously, naaaaaaaw!

Yellow! I really like yellow, and should buy & use more of it than I do. How do they make such a menacing looking owl so cute…?!

Toddler slipper socks, all stripy & made in France, oui oui.

Nigh on the coolest onesie I have EVER seen… the hood! The faux undershirt…! Oh my!

Super cute (*guffaw*).

….

 

…bubba 2 is BLUE!!!

Without furthur ado....

....on with the first post. Better to get it over & done with I think. I have been putting off starting a blog for a few reasons, one of which was definitely the question "Why?"; I wondered who would I be writing for, what purpose would spending even more of my time on the computer actually fill & what, exactly did I hope to achieve by writing things online that I don't actually bother to write about in a diary... or anywhere?

The answer is Punky. I'm going to write this for my little girl, my darling baby, the best thing that ever happened to me & the little person who makes each & every day so bright. Even if blogs are incredibly passe by the time she is old enough to read one, I want her to be able to, if she would like, read about the days we spent together & what they meant to me. I want her to read about how I sewed things for her. I want her to read the recipes that she ate when she was little & how she inspired me to live a better life for her & with her. I want her to read about my starting out in growing our own food & hopefully read about our successes. I want her to remember the photos I took & realise why I took them. I want her to be able to appreciate her babyhood & childhood, just as much as I am.

So, my darling, this is for & to you. I love you more than inadequate words typed in a humble blog can say.
