Oh that is too funny!
I rang my parents for this weekend’s itinerary (and to share some of it also) and to ask my dad to pick up the christening cake.

My Noah said, “It would be my honour.” And of course the motherly pride swelled!

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoThis is not so much lunch as a micro snack but my kid was asking for peanut butter so I blitzed half roasted almonds and half roasted & salted sunflower seeds. Pretty fantastic in a little ‘sandwich’ between crackers, and really held her over well.

My four year old was helping me hang washing and was naming things as she passed them to me:
“your undies mummy,
My brother’s sock,
Daddy’s nose blow thing,
…”Laundry names seem to be a sticky point as she once asked me, very loudly, in the swimming pool change rooms:
“where you get that booby holder from, mummy?” -

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI would love powder blue linen with white, piped with navy.
My son (nearly 18) wore frilly tartan shirts with navy trousers, which is possibly dated now but I do think a check or a tartan ‘mans’ up a baby outfit.https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5815343596/in/set-72157624823403656

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI made up the Puppet Show in white hailspot muslin for my baby before I knew what it was.
I also think the Hide and Seek tunic would look gorgeous on a wee baby boy.Do you have the Puppet Show? I wonder if that collar would fit?

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoAwesome!
I make a quick lunch of feta, cucumber, tomato and a little celery (for crunch) seasoned with salt and pepper.
It is quick and very tasty. -

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoMy neighbour uses a glass house @darcyjane, maybe that helps?
He grows vegies for fun, we happily take his excess.
I pulled out too much mince @Sarvi, so I *have* to make another today.
No one is complaining. 🙂 -

That doesn’t really inspire me to sew with fleece, I am not a fan at the best of times.
I wonder if you could not turn the hem edge of the collar and then cover it with cotton webbing, like the rugby tops?
