...like my colourful pincushion, make me happy.I'm spending my days at the moment cooking, reading and sewing. Yesterday I made banana bread, today I finished my Christmas cake and I'm hoping to make some shortbread by the end of the week. December is a really nice time to be off work - I love Christmas and I love making Christmas goodies. We won't be cutting into the Christmas cake until Christmas eve, so I suspect it might become the perfect midnight snack in the new year when I am up every 4 hours or so.
I've also been sewing the bindings on my 4 quilts - 2 presents, 1 for me and 1 for the bub. And seeing as though it's been a while since I posted my 'bump' photo, I thought I'd show you my bump from last week at 36 weeks. Although I swear I have doubled in size since then!
I've really enjoyed my pregnancy, so much so that I am a little sad that it will be over soon. It is such a special feeling to have this little one growing inside of me - but that said, I can't wait to meet her. I spend my days wondering whether she will be easy going like my husband or a little more anxious like me (!), whether she will have my blond hair or his dark hair and other little things. But it won't be too long now until I find all these things out. I still have a few more things to do, so hopefully she will wait for me to cross everything off my "to do" list before she makes her entrance!

Not long to go! You're looking well, and obviously very organised :-)
You're looking great for 36 weeks! Good luck with everything and enjoy binding those quilts
Gosh you are looking so good! So pleased you are able to enjoy this very special time.
Look forward to seeing your finished ginger bread creations. We hope to do some this weekend...
I love your pincushion and don't worry... there are much better things after the "bump." I miss mine since they hit their 20's.
the pin cushion is adorable!!!
"December is a really nice time to be off work"
Definitely. Whenever I can, I always book a few days off in December just so I can dedicate the time to some good old Christmas fanaticism. I swear, even if I take the whole of November AND December off, I'd never get everything done that I want to. :) Christmas cakes, making cards, Christmas puddings, sausage rolls, mince pies, cookies, gingerbread. Though I'm not very good at gingerbread. Tried my hand at a gingerbread house last year and I ended up with a big pile of gingerbread bricks. And to tell the truth, I don't even like gingerbread. They were supposed to be gifts.
The Christmas chocolates are my favourite though, I think. We do buy some Christmas chocolates too but we try to make as many of our own as possible. (This year, we're melting a chocolate orange down and seeing how that works as a coating) We've had to make more every year, as Mum started giving them to Carol singers. Personally, I think word might have gotten round, as I swear we get more Carol singers than anyone else I know.
Not that I'm complaining. I love Carol singers. I'm not overly keen on trick or treaters but I'm always nice to Carol singers.
