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

I'm guessing the new purchase is a lot of beautiful yarn for a new project!

Glad you're OK and I hope Little Man gets well soon. Gorgeous tulips! Take care and remember us from time to time (when you can squeeze it in - lol).

Dearest Lucy,
OK.........I've been very, very patient. Telling myself every day that having a baby in the house seems like adding 1/2 a dozen more and not to bug you. I would tell myself to just wait and your smiling face would appear as soon as you could possibly fit some time in your busy schedule. Welllllll, little did I know you would take the opportunity to tease us! New projects (which I'm sure are happy, lovely colors).....a large new purchase......... etc. Good thing I live way across the pond in Oregon, or I would be rapping on your door demanding to hold that baby while you showed me your surprises. Here are my guesses" 1. A bigger house? That doesn't seem likely right now, but possible. 2. A new car? I just bought a new car - well, new to me. A wonderful van to carry my home made goods to the craft mall. One trip instead of 6 in the compact. You could certainly use a van now. And, 3. An RV? Maybe a wonderful VW bus pop top with the attachable large tent???? I know how much you love going to the shore, so - I'm thinking maybe that's it. I'm probably all wet, but it's been fun guessing. Hope you enjoyed being teased just a little bit. We all adore you so much.
Big hugs and a kiss on that new baby's head. Sigh.

Good to hear all is well with you all Lucy. Guessed you were just getting on with the job of being a mummy. It doesn't give you lunch hours or even loo breaks on some days does it. You'd only take the job on for love really. Glad you've still hooked as that's necessary to stay you.

Take care.

Glad you are doing well! Lovely colorful pictures as always! I am always impressed by everything you manage to do, and even more so with three little ones! I don't seem to have enough hours with two wee ones :-). Looking forward to your purchase update, and even more to your project updates I think, because you always make such lovely things!!

I kept checking to see if you had new news, and then I began to count the days up to see when you last posted, and then I began to worry! Hope everyone will be well soon. I do love reading about your family!
