Another project down 3/12

I have just spent a lovely half hour in a little patch of sunshine sewing up my latest project. 

DD has been sat nearby doing a jigsaw and Baby has had a nice afternoon nap. It really has been the most peaceful Sunday so far.

We've arrived the other side :)

DD was a lot better the next day after a good night sleep.  Her school.request they are clear for 48 hours before returning so she was home Tuesday and Wednesday.  We entertained ourselves with jigsaw puzzles, indoor camping and Disney films.

Of course 

 the occasional nap was squeezed into our busy schedule. I was quite tempted to crawl.in and join her.
 We made the downstairs toilet " infection central". It seems to have worked well as thanks to minimal cross contact and gallons of anti-bac no one else has become sick, and I'm feeling pretty darn proud of that. The bug is still working it's way through the school and I'm hoping she is now immune, we had a good talk about germs and hand washing though to be safe.
 Now we are a caught up and back to routine.

I will BRB

 DD has returned home from school with the latest tummybug doing the rounds.
So until it's run the course (hopefully with just the one Random succumbing) I will taking a day or so off blogging.

 Wish me luck

Lot's of cake.

 Sorry It's a late and short entry today. It's been manic! DD was invited to both  morning and afternoon birthday parties. So in between being a chauffeur and making sure Baby D wasn't left out, we've achieved almost nothing of note. 

 I did manage to snap this photo of Baby D enjoying a piece of chocolate cake though.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more sedate.

Project 2/12 complete-ish!

Fresh off 

the needles! I've had several appointments this past week all of which involved much waiting room time.  Needing a project I could pack up at a minutes notice meant my cable project was no good so I cast on a little cardigan for Baby Random.
 The wool is from Wilkos and at £1.35 a ball is quite a bargain, and it's a steal when you factor in the 25% wool it contains!
  My only issue now is buttons. I can't decide between novelty boy theme ones (cars etc) or plain dark ones as the colours are already pretty busy. What do you think readers?

Root kit

DD had a teacher training day at school yesterday so while Baby D was at preschool we had some free time together.  We took the opportunity to start some carrot and radish seeds. DD was fascinated to see how tiny and different they looked.

The root viewer was a joint Christmas present for us all. I'm looking forward to watching the plants grow into their final stage.  I hope the girls enjoy watching them to and start some interesting conversations.

We also replaced our two hyacinth bulbs on the windowsill with two fresh bulbs. I found a packet in the local pound shop a few days ago. They are such a cheerful sight as they grow and bloom.

From drab to fab.

Do you remember last year when I showed you my bathroom during the house tour?

The stunning painted tiles, and mouldy grouting?  Let's face it no one was jealous lol

So what would you say now? Baring in mind it isn't finished yet of course. But the new tiles are up and nearly all grouted. Our lovely framed mirror is hung, along with new shower attachments. The fixings for the shower rail are up ready (we will put the bar back once we're finished around the bath)

 Our next aim is to paint the magnolia walls a periwinkle blue, and look for some cheap packs of laminate flooring (we're guessing two boxes should do it) 

 We have a loo roll holder to put up and want to change the taps on the sink to match the bath. I'm hunting for a light shade/cover to match the room to.

 Then it's onto the fun bits like storage boxes and new towels etc.

 I  can't wait to see it all finished!
