Inspirational blog

I want to more people to become aware of a beautiful blog by a very talented lady, Jenny Stevning. I've never met Jenny but by chance she found her way to my poor attempt at a blog and left a lovely message. With curiosity, I ventured over to Jenny's blog and was moved. Her prose is beautiful and her illustrations gorgeous. I love reading her updates as they are always thought provoking and moving and her wonderful artwork sets off each entry fabulously. There is something soothing about her art too.

My only wish would be for Jenny to have her art work available to buy. I'd love a piece on of my walls!

So, if you're in need of a bit of inspiration, head on over to Jenny's blog and stay a while. You'll be glad you did.

Projects & Lists

My head is buzzing. It is full of lists of things I need to do and projects (mainly sewing) I want to start or finish and with only 12 days until d-day, I can't see many of these things getting done. Does a head full of things to do count as nesting?! Or do I need to clean at 3am to be considered in nesting mode?!

Project number 1; the nursery. This one can't be put off any longer! It will get the final touches as soon as I finish up at work. So far it has gone through quite a transformation - we've repaired walls, skirting, picture railing, windows, painted, replaced carpet etc (all this in one room, plus improvements to the rest of the house....and we're in a rental) - but there is much more to do!

I'm so excited about getting to meet Little Master or Miss G that there doesn't seem to be any fear about the process of baby making it's journey from the comfort (his or hers, certainly not mine!) of being 'indoors' to this crazy world.

I'm also feeling remarkably zen. Despite having a million things to do, barely being able to walk and being asked at least once a day if I'm sure I'm not having twins!
