You're welcome hun :) Wow! Will we get to see pictures of your cupcakes? :D I have been getting back into Crochet for the past couple of days.

I would if I was you hun, otherwise you will end up depressed all the time and it will cause baby Blue to get stressed and it's not good! :( xxx
 
Can't upload from my new phone so I'll upload one tomorrow, don't have the energy to walk across the room to get the iPad :haha:

Yay for crochet :-) what you been working on?

Its just the money atm, I'll see how it goes and if I need to go on the sick I def will :) not risking my blue gettin stressed xxx

I dont want a boy :cry:
 
Laura - Can't wait to see pictures, that's a lot of cupcakes :haha: I still want to make a baby blanket so been practising making squares, need softer wool for blankets though. I don't blame you hun, your health and Blue's health is most important :hugs: xxx

Pinky - You want a little Princess? :D xxx
 
all my projects are on facebook - i started a new one today as im giving my auntie everything on tuesday

hows your crocheting coming along?

I have had a look through them all, they are amazing! Wish I could Crochet as good! Aww bless, I'm sure your Auntie will love them :)

My squares are a lot better now, I count the stitches and rows etc to make sure they are the same size. Getting boring now though so I want to try and make something, just don't know what :( xxx
 
my auntie will take the premature clothing and newborn stuff to St Thomas' hospital and the rest she will sell at the fate that she does once a month - money goes to the hospital

sew all the squares together to make a blanket

i cba with squares myself - im impatient and want to see the finished product quickly

i havent been able to crochet for past month as its been too hot to touch the wool - hands got too clamy

aww thank you natt - one or two im happy with but im very critical on myself and dont like most of it

Sounds like they are going to a great cause then hun, you should be proud of yourself :D

That's my problem aswell hun, making the squares get boring, doing the same thing over and over, I'm like you, I just want to see the finished project but I know it's never going to happen :blush:

Aww no, glad they are better now chick and you can get on the Crocheting ball again :winkwink:

You're more than welcome hun, I think everyone is the same chick, I never like my own work in anything, drawing, Crochet, Knitting etc but everyone else loves it, must just be our minds telling us different :hugs: xxx
 
the one im doing now is just single and double crochet - in the back loops - very easy

its from a pattern but very easy to understand and she gives pictures mid-way to show you how it should look - its from when i first started

if you want me to send the pattern to you i will

I can do single crochet and double crochet, never tried in the back loops but I'm sure it's just the same as in the front loops?

Oh that's good then, at least you'll know if you're going wrong etc.

Yeah please hun, can you send me the pattern for me to have a go at? Probably won't be able to start until tomorrow now as we are babysitting tonight xxx
 
instead of putting your hook through both strands of wool (one stitch), you just put the hook through the strand at the back instead

this is how they make ribs like a cuff - this cardigan also has matching nappy cover

this is a pic of the first one i did of this pattern

im now doing blue cardigan with white trim and white nappy cover with blue trim so it can be mixed with something else if necessary

its all done in one piece and at the end you just sew the edges together - but again she will explain in detail - there is also a video at the bottom on the page if you prefer to follow that

Wow chick what a gorgeous cake!!! You really do have a fab talent here! Well done!

Baby baby baby...I know its easier said than done but fuck work. Try and put it out of your mind. Its just not worth the stress :flower: I know that its a big part of daily lifes but...well...when youre baking your little one you need to try and put the stress and worry aside and ignore it. Theres not too much time left and then youll be off before you know it with your Son in your arms and work will seem like a distant bad memory. You have a new house to look forwards too...your son is happy and healthy and soon will be here...new job will follow! And lets not forget the wedding too!

Lots of amazing things ahead!
