Bobbing By

Hello my lovelies!! Just Bobbing By to wave and say a very quick hello to you all, and to thank you all for continuing to check in on me day after day to see if I'm about. I really appreciate your visits and I am really sorry to have been gone for so long. 

I am absolutely fine and well, all is pretty good here at number24 these days. Well, we do have some horrid germs lurking about right now :: the above feet belong to Little Man who is currently lounging around amongst my blankies feeling sorry for himself. Truth be told he is very rarely ill, but when he does become unwell he tends to do it in style and his temperature soars almost off the scale. I've learnt over the years not to become demented with nervous panic when this happens and to be very on-the-ball with regular paracetamol and nurofen. So we are doing OK today, pottering about, baking (my way of dealing with Sky High Temperature Induced Stress), and hoping the germs will clear off very soon.

And here is Little B, as he looks right this very minute (1.30pm) :: I'm sitting at the dining table typing on my laptop and he is sleeping soundly a few feet away in his little cosy hooky nest. He's 17 weeks old now, and oh-so-cute, really he is an absolute treasure. So smiley, so happy, so so so baby-ish and scrumptious. Edible almost, you know?? Yumyumyum.

Between all three of my Little People I am kept very very busy. My mothering starts each day around 5am when Little B stirs and fifteen long hours later at 8pm it draws to a close as I tuck the Little People up in bed. I then have about an hour to myself before I too begin to yawn and think about heading bedwards. Full days. Happy days. Busy days. Love my job, but goodness me the hours are rather long.

I am still managing to find a little time to hook most days and have some new things to show you very soon. Been trying out some new yarns which has been fun.

We also have some VERY exciting news here at Attic24, a New Purchase no less. Quite a big New Purchase. Oh my, can't wait to show you!!!! Pictures and The Story coming very soon too.

So you see I am still here, still getting excited about tulips, the light on the hills, the length of the days, a new book, new socks, and of course the New Purchase. Huuuuge excitements over the New Purchase, it's seriously heart-skippy stuff for sure.

Hoping to try very hard to find some way of making Blogtime a more regular part of my days.....sure I can shoehorn it in to the day somehow, surely it must be possible???? Somehow????

Wishing you all a happy-happy day, grasp it with both hands and enjoy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad all is well with you - have missed you but know the limitations on your time...Little Man looks like he's thriving and do hope he's feeling better very soon...they go down fast and they recover fast too...remember it well although long, long ago.
Take care and enjoy the better days although it is bitterly cold here in N.Ireland.

Totally happy to see you here. I was getting a bit worried, as Mother Hen's do. Very cozy photos, Lucy.

[Petit Filoux]

Now that is teasing, you have to tell us what the big purchase is!!! I'm so very curious!!! Your blankets look so beautiful in use, they look so very comfortable and warm! xx

[Pati]

Hi Lucy,
Glad to hear from you again, I was missing your colorful posts. I always like to check your blog before I go back to my studies (my first exam is next week!! brrrrr!!!!!), as they bring some sunshine to my exam preparation routine these days. I hope your little man gets better soon. XXXX from London, Pati

[Marie]

So glad all is well. I can't believe little B is 17 weeks old already. How that time has flown. Hope your little man is feeling better soon.

[Kimbles]

So glad all ok - if a few pesky germs around - I think you must be moving to a new Attic??? with extra baby room! Sending you love and good wishes **Kim**x

[Carina]

Glad to hear you all doing well. Can just imagine the almost no time for anything else. Excited about the New Purchase. Can't wait to hear about it all. Have a good week and hope the Little Man get better soon. All the best up in the North. Cx

[Louise]

Hope you will all soon be well again. Little B looks gorgeous and quite an age now. It sounds as though your life is so busy but do enjoy it.

[rachie]

so relieved you are ok! I missed you and I was worried...I have 3 kiddies and know what hard work they can be especially when there are nasty little bugs around, something that should lasts 24 hours can last a couple of weeks by the time it's gone around the whole family...buzz off bad bugs :-P

ooh, I love new purchases:) can't wait to hear more xx

[Laura]

Hello! Glad all is going well for you guys despite the germ warfare. I'm working on a ripply blanket using your pattern (my best friend is expecting her first - I'm going to be an Auntie!!) so have been thinking of you a lot :) Looking forward to news of the Big Purchase. Sounds very exciting xx

[Gill]

Great to hear from you-I've been biting my lip in worry for weeks!! However, glad to hear that nearly all is well in the Attic-much love and hugs to Little Man. Big purchase eh? Hmmm. House? Car? Swimming pool with adjoining jacuzzi and sauna? Okay I'll bite my lip a bit longer and try and wait for your next post. Lots of love and stuff xx

[Sharon]

Love the photos as always and glad to hear all is ok. Looking forward to hearing about the new purchase :-)
