A little (but growing) announcement

Something happened this weekend 

during my trip to London...a stranger, two in fact, gave up their seat for me on the tube 

so I could be seated complete with my bump!  

So thank you strangers...I didn't really feel like I needed the seat but thought 

that I couldn't pass on this momentous occasion!

So I'm becoming a mum for the first time...

we're feeling very lucky that this is happening to us and at times still can't quite believe it.  

I'm so fortunate that pregnancy as been straight forward over the last 6 months, 

this bump has been really very kind to me so far!  

Now I so want to see it, meet it, cuddle and kiss it again and again, 

find out what it is, (my money is on a boy!), 

see it's little face, and watch it grow and grow (but please not too fast!).

Such a massive new chapter in our lives awaits us and sure it will be tough, tiring and testing but 

I'm thinking and hoping this little blessing is going to be very best chapter yet. (tissue over here pls!)

I've started to knit! Here's the beginnings of a baby blanket, the first gift from me to the baby.

If you have any tips for online wool shops I'll be very grateful.

10 Top Tips for Creating Happiness from Bunches.co.uk

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bunches and Fat Free Media on the a little animation for Bunches Creating Happiness campaign.

Have a little look and you'll find some ideas for spreading smiles!

It was great to work on something different having never worked on an animation before. This has wet my appetite, it would be good to more one day!

Flick 'n' Mix

I was lucky enough to be asked to be part of Flick 'n' Mix this week!

Keeping with the Halloween theme...here it is...

I was given the task of the head so went for the pumpkin.  I love the results!
