Jenerally Speaking,

Life is made from...

... moments like these:

Creating favourite book characters from playdough (Oh yes, I was proud of these three! Can you work out the book they're from?)...

Big brother: 'Dis MY carseat!

Taking his own photos (spot the teeny weeny feet)...

Chimp feet...

Making a slide out of an un-hung shelf, complete with Duplo steps...

A baking project...

Little R wanted to put chocolate drops on top of EVERY biscuit. I had to be very persuasive to get some hundred-and-thousand topped ones!

It was some time before he'd actually eat a biscuit instead of just licking the icing off!

And today - relaxing in the sun after a busy morning shopping. Little R decided he needed a cushion of his very own. Then a blanket. Then he realised that I needed a blanket too, so tenderly tucked me in. Loving that crochet moment!

And sharing his apple with his little brother or sister. We're all excited to meet this tiny person soon. But until then, we're relishing moments like these...

A Dab of Glue

The last time I reported on the progress of our chest of drawers in the "cloakroom", it was looking like this. Neatly painted, but not as vibrant as it could be. 

It's taken me a fair while to get around to ordering décopatch paper of appropriate colours and a little longer to make a start on the décopatching. 

But last night I needed a distraction from my painfully spasmy ribcage (thanks to advanced pregnancy and a nasty cough), so I settled down to some therapeutic gluing and sticking.

I'd expected only to get half done, but it was actually a speedy job, while we watched Britain's Got Talent. 

I've had to paint a couple more of the knobs and switch them round, because the blue knobs were getting lost on the décopatched drawer. 

NOW it looks properly funky!

I'm tempted to décopatch the top of it too - what do you think? Too much?
