Holidays are coming

The festive season is approaching at a rapid rate and I have just the little things you 'need' to get creative whether it be cards, gift tags or cakes. My SewRealicoul shops on Etsy and Folksy now stock supplies, and with a super low P&P cost of only 80p who can resist these little treats?

6 weeks old and Im sort of getting the hang of it

So Reuben is now six weeks old! The time really has flown by. I am finally no longer rattling with painkillers and meds and Reuben is sort of getting into a routine, so all seems really happy and well. He is a little munchkin and has just weighed in at 10lb7oz. He is still feeding every 2 hours so its hard for me to get any work done at the moment, but I did manage some button brooches once he went to bed last night :)

I will be updating my shops, blog and facebook as soon as I can grab a moment so please bear with me. x

Baby Reuben finally arrived!

Baby Reuben finally arrived 13 days late on the 26/07/11 weighing in at a whopping 8lb 15oz! I have only just managed to grab a moment to upload some photographs as he is one hungry baby that is very demanding! Thank you to everyone who advised me on inducing labour and to all those who wished me luck. My birth plan went out the window but the main thing is he arrived healthy and safely x

SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

As I am due my first baby tomorrow, I have a little shop notice.... I will not be closing any of my shops. Items will still be posted 1st class within 3 working days of receiving payment. But there may be a short delay in me responding to any messages/emails if I happen to go into labour around the time of you messaging me :)

Here is me a week ago, if I go much longer I may very well pop!

Dont like Lavender?

No problem...I have realised that not everyone loves Lavender as much as I do so I have been playing around with designs and have made these. They have been hand drawn on linen from vintage buttons, and backed in very pretty Liberty fabric. They are perfect for your wardrobes & cars. They make a pretty good smelly pin cushion too. I have just started to list them on my SewRealicoul Etsy and Folksy shops. I have chosen to make them in the most sweetest, gorgeous scents such as 'Cherry Amaretto', 'Cotton Candy', 'Clean Cotton' and 'Apple & Cinnamon'. The Apple & Cinnamon will also be introduced into some of my Christmas Decorations this year!

And no...I have not popped yet :(

Still not popped!

 

I am now very almost 39 weeks! So much for coming quite early! I feel like I am going to pop if this babba gets much bigger! I thought I was in labour at the weekend after 8 hours of very regular contractions, but then they vanished! I love to plan and I'm finding it so weird that this amazing little baba is going to arrive soon and I have no idea when! What makes it worst is Jak constantly grinning and asking me when is it coming?! He is super excited :D 

Well I lost my bet, I guessed it was coming last Friday. I will of course make a post as soon as I can when our little bubba is here!
