7 Weeks To Go!

So as the title suggests, I have just 7 weeks of this pregnancy left. 7 weeks of feeling like a while. 7 weeks of sweating like a pig and 7 weeks of feeling like complete crap, aching all over, feeling all these weird and wonderful feelings that are associated with Pregnancy.


My little baby has everything all ready for it. I made a 'Winnie The Pooh' chair cover to match the nursery theme and to cover up the unsightly rocking chair fabric. And I have also made a skirt for the bassinett that was my little sister's when she was born, coming up to 18 years ago. The original skirt for it is a little worst for wear, a few holes appearing around it and looked extremely tattered, so I grabbed some 2nd hand fabric and set to work to make the new skirt. Both these projects (the chair cover and the bassinett skirt) took less than a day! I was so super proud of myself! 


I have since not touched my sewing machine, but I am seriously considering going up stairs and making the nappy covers I said I was planning on making back in August! I have 7 weeks until baby is born, maybe I could put them off for that little bit longer?? But I know I really shouldnt haha.


Ok Im out to decide if I want to make them today or not.


Until next time,
Keep Smiling

Father's Day

So Father's Day is this Sunday! YAY! It will be Mr S's 3rd Father's Day and the first one he is actually spending at home, instead of doing the markets which is a nice change! :D


So far Miss M has painted his wrapping paper, painted a 'Paint-A-Plate' for him, made him a little something at Day Care and I choose some Hair Clippers (since he now likes to keep his head shaved after getting rid of his dreadlocks earlier in the year), Jocks (everyone says dont buy jocks or socks, but Mr S loves getting Clothes, Jocks and Socks as gifts, it means he doesnt have the worry of buying them himself lol), The Tourist DVD (he collects Angelina Jolie Movies and needs it for his collection), Walk The Line DVD (he loves this movie and has wanted to buy it for ages but never has) and a bucket of Malteasers (because I know he loves them lol). I think someone is quite spoilt this year! Makes up for us not getting him a birthday present though (we went to Australia Zoo instead). 


Since Mr S will be at home for the first time on a Father's Day, I am most definately making him a yummy cooked breakfast - Bacon & Egg McMuffins (minus the Mc since Im making them not Maccas lol). He loves them, so hopefully I can pull it off and he loves these ones too! Then we are gonna head to the local Markets (we just cant keep away lol) for a nice family wander around, then most likely to his Dad's house then I'd love to have a picnic lunch just the 3 of us and then to my Dad's in the afternoon. 


I hope all the Father's out there have a wonderful Father's Day and get just as spoilt as Mr S is getting! Dad's do alot of unrecgonised work and this is a great opportunity to say 'Thanks for everything Dad!' 


Until next time, Keep Smiling :D

Gifts for the Baby

So I said in my last post that I like sewing and have my own business, and that I was expecting baby number 2.  Well since we live in QLD and its extreme heat, especially at Christmas Time, I have decided to attempt to make our little kicker some Nappy Covers in Christmas Material with matching Appliqued Singlets (since its far too hot for anything else in December). 
I really hope they are a success, as I have a nephew due not long before our baby (7 weeks) and Im sure my sister-in-law would think it'd look extremely adorable aswell. I also have a niece due soon, but Im not sure if my sister would put them on her daughter, but if I am successful, I might check with her and see if she'd like a set aswell. 
I feel so sorry for babies in Summer, its just far too hot for them. 
Well its just a short one this time, Ill have to let you know how I go and see if I can work out how to upload photos if I do succeed :P
Until next time, Keep Smiling :)

First Ever Blog

So I'm new to blogging but needed a place to say what I need to say without the judgement 'facebook' brings.
I thought my first blog would just be to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. 
I'm Kirra and Im 22. Im currently a stay-at-home/work-at-home mummy to a gorgeous little girl 'Miss M' who has just celebrated her 2nd birthday a week ago. I have a wonderful partner who works extremely hard to provide for us with his full-time job as a Cabinet Maker and also his own business selling Mulched Manure (Cow, Chicken & Occasionally Horse and now also Mushroom Compost).  The 3 of us are expecting a new addition to our beautiful little family, due in early December, 'Baby J' is going to be a very welcomed addition to our family :) You could say Im just a little excited as Im only 23 weeks along and already have Baby J's room all set up for him/her. We dont know what gender Baby J is as Mr S (my partner) refuses to know, therefore making it hard for me to find out because that's something you just can't keep secret.  Who else is in our little family? Theres our dog, Spud and our Turtle, Myrtle, as well as 2 ducklings who Miss M has named 'Daisy & Piggle' as well as the fish but they dont have names because there is far to many of them. 
I said I was a work-at-home mummy, because I have my own business - Kirra's Creations, which I launched on July 21st 2011 selling handmade items for children. Im hoping I do well with it, but at this stage it's all just trial and error, which is what business is all about.
I love cooking, sewing, and craft as well as reading and the internet (which does get quite boring at times though). 
Mr S and I hope to buy a house soon, which Im hoping will be a success which will give me plenty to blog about other than my mediocre exhistance. But Ill inform you of the progress as it comes to light :)
In the mean time, I hope you liked learning a little about me :) And until next time :D Smile!
