<i>Dad is home, bubble toes & red wool.</i><br />
<br />
I have been crocheting again, and it feels wonderful! I have missed making things with a little metal hook. Tiny hats and scarf sets are being made for the handmade dolls I sew and sell on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PeasBeansDolls">Peas & Beans handmade dolls</a> if you are a curious soul). Eve chases balls of wool about the floor, trying to slither towards them with the most divine messy coordination.<br />

<i>Chubby hand dimples.</i><br />
<br />
This week a facial portrait wouldn't cut it. This week these beautiful little hands were so busy feeling every possible texture in reach, transferring toys from one hand to another and banging two blocks together repeatedly to make noise. I love how surprised yet pleased with herself she looks at each loud sound she makes. Everything is so new. So much to learn!<br />

<i>Nom Nom Nom.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>I couldn't stop at one this week, I suspected this would happen. My goal was to capture Eve's milestones, thus I couldn't exclude the b&w photos - she is now sitting unassisted (with the odd fall) and exploring blocks with surprising intensity. I love watching her tiny fingers figure out how to flick toys towards her, pincer grasp them up and shove them into her mouth!<br />

<br />
I'm back!<br />
I am committing to <a href="http://cheandfidel.blogspot.com/">this project</a>.<br />
Every week in 2013 I will take silly amounts of photos of my sweet daughter Eve and select one which shows her current personality the best. I don't doubt that there may be two photos some weeks ;)<br />
I will practice my DSLR skills.<br />
I will learn about the light in my home.<br />
I will practice shooting in Manual mode and not just in my beloved go-to Av mode.<br />
I will try my best to capture natural moments.<br />
I will aim to capture the small things which are so big to kids.<br />
<br />
I'll be posting the first of my portraits on Sunday January the 8th eeeeeeeeeek! I'd better get snappin'<br />

<b>A few things I have learnt over the past 4 weeks:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Going a week beyond due date was not comfortable and I do not wish it upon anybody!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Giving birth naturally is something I almost have no words for. I feel such an overwhelming sense of achievement whenever I think about those 7 and a 1/2 hours.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I feel very lucky that labour passed quickly and without any complications or drugs - we did not plan this and still cannot believe I did it on my own.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Being a teacher to up to 18 primary school aged ESL students did NOT nearly prepare me for life with a newborn. Yes she is totally amazing, perfect and I am utterly smitten ...but boy it is hard work.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">My confidence as a first time mummy is growing daily, and I couldn't be happier to put the emotional whirlwind that was the first fortnight behind me. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Eve is one lucky little lady to have such a confident and fun daddy, and I am so grateful for his ability and willingness to parent our daughter as an 'equal' alongside me <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 11px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">♥</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 11px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">♥</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Watching Eve's content milk-drunk face and listening to her gurgling coos makes for the BEST kind of entertainment. Thank goodness we have a Magic TV box and we record all our fav shows, as we find ourself realising entire fave tv episodes have finished without us really having any idea what happened.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The love I have for our Evie Bear is undeniably the best type in the world!</li>
</ul>

It was mighty hard to restrain myself from going out and buying a Boppy pillow but... I am glad I did as this project has kept me busy during week 39 of pregnancy. It's been an absolute shite week to put it mildly. Mostly I'm just not sleeping properly, fun hormones raging, crazy heartburn and reflux lingers without breaks and not knowing when she could make her arrival (will it be today? tomorrow? in 14 days?) ready for our little peanut to arrive. Following such moments of complete ICK! I'm trying to stay positive and be crafty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have sewn an internal pillow and two covers using <a href="http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/07/tutorial-how-to-make-boppy-slip-cover.html">this cover pattern</a> from <i>A Load of Craft</i>. It's a fairly straight forward pattern. I made sure the internal pillow itself had no zip and sewed the edge using a 1" seam allowance, instead of the 1/4" suggested, making it slightly smaller than the covers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This patchwork cover is my favourite I think. Fabric charm pack 'Oh Deer!' by<a href="http://www.fabricpatch.com.au/main/oh-deer-charm-square-patchwork-quilting-fabric-p-4226.html?zenid=qq6vvav3pe85lp9vir6fcnure3"> Moda</a> and the backing is a snuggly minky in cream from Spotlight.<br />
<br />

Very impressed by Spotlight's fabric range these days. The woodland print is a thick cotton drill with brown minky backing.</div>

Apparently it is Australia's safest capsule so we went with it. I didn't realise how uncomfortable the existing velour liner was, nor how ugly it was until I took it home. After an intensive s<span style="background-color: white;">earch s</span><span style="background-color: white;">ession for </span><span style="background-color: white;">online </span><span style="background-color: white;">patterns all I could find were some eBay covers asking $50+ aaaand funnily enough multiple baby forums where lots of mums complained of the sheer ick-factor of the capsule :S</span><br />
<br />
So I got to work, and took pics along the way (iPhone quality, sorry) to remind me of the making process (I have a few requests already from friends!) and for any crafty mammas out there wanting to have a try at making their own. I'm not putting up pattern pieces to enlarge or anything, you just trace around the 3 parts and make sure you add an extra 1/2 inch around all sides for the seam allowance.<br />

It's funny how knit and crochet stitch lingo comes back after all this time away. <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/account/login">Ravelry</a> has been keeping me busy - SO many free cute baby patterns to peruse and choose from. </div>

Currently my favourite yarn is without a doubt <i>Moda Vera Beetle</i>. It is super soft and extraordinarily easy to knit with.</div>

<br />
I've been neglecting this little blog of late. I am not feeling much motivation to take many photos (I'm saving my camera battery for more special occasions you could say!), find myself using up any extra energy to work in the garden, clean spaces I've never known needed cleaning and attend all those hospital appointments.... all in preparation for our little bean's arrival sometime in the next 5 weeks (YIKES!!!).<br />
<br />
We have been slowly plodding away on the nursery. Just waiting on the two big essential items - the cot and change table, then it's completo.<br />

These four little friends are eagerly waiting our baby's arrival on her mantle piece. A few years ago I made them during <a href="http://thriftnestsew.blogspot.com.au/2010/02/happy-wednesday.html">my softie sewing and crochetting days</a>, however they were eventually moved into a cupboard in the spare room. To think that they will soon have a small owner with little hands to drag them around the house makes me all kinds of happy <span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 11px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">♥</span></span></div>

The mobile is up. After <a href="http://thriftnestsew.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/drip-drip-drip.html">debating the </a>colour scheme we went with primary colours. We are both happy with how it turned out.<br />
