Howdy from the mad house! Things have been going at a cracking pace this week and I'm thrilled to say there is a light at the end of the tunnel! With only 3 weeks left before the big move and 8 weeks before the (potentially big, but hopefully under 10 pounds!) baby, I am having one of those fleeting feelings of calm.
Above is a picture of the last project I completed (a little while ago), a beanie for a friend's gorgeous new arrival - pattern

Today I'm playing along with my beautiful sister
Erica's blog.
What's the one thing you can't stand?Stubbing my toes - happens to me surprisingly often and one of the only things which will bring me to swear out loud!
If you could go back to your childhood, which cartoon character or TV show would be your favourite?Boo hoo, we didn't watch cartoons! So instead I'll say Sooty. I actually got to see him live in concert once - my claim to fame.
What is something you do or have done that would surprise a lot of people?You may be surprised how often I stub my toes, but probably more surprised that I am allergic to kiwi fruit, or that I used to bellydance, or that I never had a detention at school, or that I've never sworn in front of my Mum - none of these things are particularly surprising which is why I thought I'd put a few to try and boost the surprise factor.
Do you believe in ghosts?Sort of, I'm not convinced but I do get a bit spooked at times when I'm alone. I've found I'm a lot less worried about things like ghosts and axe wielding rapist murderers now that I'm a mother (I think it brings out the protector in me).
When you go to a shop, what's the one thing you can't stop yourself from buying more than one of?Magazines! (if you asked Blair though, he'd tell you I am obsessed with phone tables, a complete fib!)
If you could go back and relive one day in your life, what would it be?That's a hard one, I can't think of one specific day. I think I'd prefer the learn from my past days then to relieve them.
What is the funniest story you have about your significant other?Blair makes me laugh all the time, I think we are the perfect fit for humour. So sadly for sharing purposes most of my stories are of a "you had to be there" nature, however, it does crack me up that recently when Blair farted our little boy who is just learning to talk, looked at him, frowned and said 'noise'.
What is your proudest moment of being a parent?I love it when The Boy shows off his good manners in public (please, ta, ahsnooze me (translated means excuse me)). He's always been such a smiley guy and often gets comments from friends and strangers about how well behaved he is. (Nevermind of course that in private he can be a total grot, screaming, throwing things and generally be painful! I love him, I most certainly do)
