Another week gone....wow where does the time go....

Just a brief update on what has been going on....

My baby (who is now 10 months old!!!) has still been having a few problems since her fall 2 weeks ago but I think finally she is almost back to normal. She has had 2 trips to the chiro and is going again on Wednesday. It seems that her swollen wrist was the least of her worries. She had put her pelvis out and also her knee and ankle which was why she has been crawling funny. She has in the last 2 days just started to crawl normally again (thank goodness)

My friend who was very ill in hospital came home on Wednesday...she still has a LONG was to go until she is back to her normal old self but she is on the right track.

I have started playing badminton again on Thursday morning and I am loving it. I was a bit worried about how Velvet would be when I am out on the court but luckily some she has been fine, she has even had a sleep each week in the pram. There is a good group of women playing and it works well if you are not on the court you look after the children in the foyer.

Have not had much time for scrappping but I did get this one done for a scrap - a - sketch class I am running next Friday night.

(the blue mark next to the text box is where one of my lovely children spilt something on the layout and I have tried to fix it!!!

The girls both had friends over for sleepovers on Friday night, they also both had friends over 2 weeks ago......I have worked out that it is much easier if they both have a friend over at the same time then there is less fighting as they both have some to play with.

Poor Jasper gets out numbered with all the girls.....yesterday we had my sister her with her two girls so there were 7 girls (including Velvet) and only 1 boy, poor Jappy.....

As I said above Velvet is now 10 months and 1 week old (just adding this for my own records) She still only has 2 teeth!!! the two top ones are very very close to coming through. She can stand alone for a few seconds and can walk with someone holding one of her hands.

She loves looking out the window at the birds and if she gets cranky you can always distract her by saying where is the birdies....

She waves good bye and if I say "where is the bus" she looks around and waves likes she does when the other kids go on the school bus...too cute.

Her fav food is still mashed banana and she loves custard, she has porridge for breakfast and eats what ever we are having for tea. Most nights she wakes up once and I feed her back to sleep. She is such a easy baby and is so easy to take anywhere. This age is just so lovely...what a shame babies have to grow up.

That's about all I can think of at the moment.

Till next time, take care

Love to all

Thanks Girls for your concern xoxoxoxo

my baby is ok....

We have been to the DR and he seems to think that because she is still moving it and we can touch and move it without her crying that it is not broken.
She is still not putting pressure on it but the DR thinks that it is a good thing as it will give it time to heal. If she is still not using it at the end of the week I will be taking her back , but until then we will have to just wait and see. The DR did said that even if she had a green stick fracture they would not put it in a cast she would just have to rest it (which is what she is doing!!

Here is a photo of her at the park on the swing just before she fell off.....

Take care and love to all

Oh look at my poor baby.....................



Yesterday morning while we were at the park she fell off the swing on to the wood chips...luckily she did not fall very far..... After I picked her up she. cried a little but I calmed her down quite quickly and then I never thought of it again until about 4 o'clock that afternoon when she was screamed every time she put pressure on her arm when she was crawling around. Other than when she put pressure on it it was not worrying her. So off we went to the local hospital, the nurse checked it out and called the Dr. he said because she was not in a lot of pain he thought it would not be broken and told the nurse to put it in a sling and send us home. As you can imagine the sling lasted on her arm for all of 10 minutes!!! We were told to leave it on for 24 hours and then see how she was. She has been crawling around today but has only been using one arm so I think we will be going back to the Dr. tomorrow and hopefully he will send us for an x-ray. I don't think it is broken but i just want to make sure, I think it may be just sprained.

I will let you know how she is after we see the DR.

Till next time,

Well school holidays are almost over already, where did the 2 weeks go!!!


Last Friday we went to Melbourne after we had our chiro and podiatrist appointment and I went to visit my friend who is in hospital (re a few posts ago)...she is recovering slowly and she still has a long road ahead of her but she is much better than she was a month ago. I am going to with another friend to see her again on Monday.


While in Melbourne I went to Paperific, it was fantastic to meet AM and Trish in real life, they are both lovely....it was also great to be able to see stock in real life before I buy it!!! I came home with lots of new stuff to show my customers.....here is a pic of some of my goodies.

I also did a Mixed Acrylic Album class with Nicole Finlayson, I am so please with the way my album has turned out. I only go 3 pages done at the class so I finished the rest of it this week.....

Mixed Acrylic Album,

Nicole is lovely and I picked up heaps of tips and hints from her...Thanks Nicole, the class was great.

I also caught up with Ngaire, she was working on KSK stand and she was flat out so we are going to catch up and scrap together soon....

Not much else going on, did some scrappin today, using BG Sugared range...

Georgia also did 2 layouts, I will add them at a later date.

Before I go I must add some photos of DD Chloe who is almost 10....wow she is turning into a young lady so quickly and she is getting so tall, she will be towering over me in no time.....

Must finish before the batteries die on the laptop.

Till next time

Have a great weekend

Love to all,
