Aussie Ingenuity

Don't you love this? It sure made me laugh went I passed it in the street on the weekend. I wonder if it actually works? Could be the first "ride on mower" hehe.


I am doing good. so sorry I have been a little MIA this past week. I have been soooo busy that I have hardly had time to do anything, let alone blog or read anything on the internet. I saw the endocronologist yesterday and he says I am doing fine on the diabetes front, and to keep doing what I am doing. He was really positive and told me that this baby will be fine and I am well past the miscarriage point now. I felt really positive leaving his office.

I then went to Baby Bunting. I didn't buy anything, but I wandered around looking at what was there and the prices (omg! some of those prices) - I cannot believe what some people are willing to pay for baby furniture that is only used for a limited time! I can assure you I will be going the ultra cheap (as long as it is safe) option in all things.

We actually already have a cot that we bought for $20 a couple of years ago but it is about 15 years old and needs some minor repair and painting. We are actually now thinking about turfing it (the people who we bought it off would not care at all) and buying a newer one, with the thinking that the safety aspects may have changed in that time.

But no rush as the baby's room is still full of other crap like exercise equipment i haven't used in years and christmas decorations. The built in wardrobe top shelf is chocka block with jigsaws. I think I am going to have to give them up - we have nowhere to put them anyway and I don't think I am going to have time in the next few years to do them.

I have been knitting again! yay! I am 12 rows off finishing the dreaded sleeve from hell from hubb's jumper. Then it is just sewing it up, knitting up the neckline and it is finished! yay!

I desperately want to make something for wriggles but not sure what. I already have a few little jackets and hats I have made over the years. Booties are too simple. Should I make something fancy as in a fancy jacket or should I have a go at something else? I don't feel like making a baby blanket just yet - my urge to create something big died with Hubb's jumper from hell. lol I was thinking a toy maybe too. Let me know what you think.

Hubb's has a terrible cold. Poor man has been bed ridden for the last three days and today looks like being day 4. Today I am sneezing and sniffling a bit so hoping he has not given it to me. I have been careful to stay away as much as I could, but a bit hard when you live in the same house.

ok - better get ready for work. Have a great day all.
