Seriously where the hell did that week go?
No bump picture for you this week as no sooner had I blogged last Monday than my waters broke and I was off to hospital. Isobel Christine Mackaness (aka Boo or Izzy) was born at 7.14am on Tuesday 28th June weighing in at a healthy 6lb 10oz although she is still a little dink!
I had to spend a few days in hospital as I lost a lot of blood and had a transfusion and then no
sooner was I better than Izzy ended up with Jaundice.
It was Friday before we got home so no chance to make a single thing this week, however there really is no stopping me as I still managed to set up shop yesterday at the Ingrave Community Market. I do organise this event and it is only round the corner at my local community centre so I left both kiddies with Daddy and enjoyed a spot of normality. Daddy brought me two little visitors though as all of the regulars and my stallholders wanted to meet the latest addition to the Mackaness Clan.
Last but not least I can now show you the pressie I made for my friends Rik & Saz whose beautiful little girl Kara was born a couple of weeks back. I posted this on Monday so I am pretty sure they will be in receipt of it by now and my blogging wont spoil the surprise!
I'll be back next Monday with some more makes. Mr Mack is on Paternity leave and I am under strict instructions to rest, so you know what that means to me.....................SEWING!!!
