For Teddy to wake from a never ending nap (merrily playing with his books at midnight with no visible signs of tiredness takes its toll on a boy, apparently. I blame the tooth growing), here's a few bits and bobs I thought I'd share...
- I rather love this blog I've found - she has lovely use of colour on her quilts
- I really really want my Anna Maria Horner voile to arrive. I only ordered it on Monday, and it's coming from the States (so I can safely assume I've got a week or two to wait), but I want it now!
- I wonder whether I should make a practice version of the giant hexagon quilt I want to make with the voile, since I don't want to ruin it with a bad job.
- In the light of point number one, I am desperate to get cracking on a 'proper' charm quilt (i.e. one in which no two pieces are made from the same fabric, rather than one made with 5" charm squares. Read more history here).
- Teething sucks. I'd hate to be a baby
- All this sitting around waiting for Teddy to wake has resulted in the discovery of not one, but two, half decent UK based suppliers of eco-friendly art and craft supplies for kids. Nothing to quite match up to this US supplier, but here and here are options for us poor deprived UKers who don't want to pay huge shipping and huge carbon footprints (thus slightly defeating the point of ordering eco supplies...) Incidentally, the second of those links is where I'm hoping to buy a play kitchen for Teddy from for his second birthday.
- I know that picture at the top of the post isn't new, but, frankly, I think you might worry about me if you knew I took a picture of my child almost every single time he naps, and I'm hoping that you won't think that I do so if I show you an old picture.
- I think I may have missed the boat on planting some of my seeds, but I'm giving it a shot anyway - we're going to spend an awful lot of our moving day in two weeks trundling seed trays across town to the new house!
- I haven't baked any bread/bagels/muffins/biscuits since just after I recovered from my horrible flu thing. I really need to get back into it
- A list looks much nicer if it's ten things, even if you don't actually have ten things to say
ps: a sneak peak at the first of the bits and bobs for the April handmade stuff shop update coming tomorrow.
pps: If you're observant, you may have noticed that this post is published in the evening. Just because I wrote it while Teddy was napping this morning, doesn't mean that he didn't wake just in time to stop me hitting the 'post' button...
get an amber teething necklace- they work!!

Really? I'm always a bit perplexed by them!
