Things have really slowed down since Xanadu came to town. She loves to be close to me so spends most of the day in my hug-a-bub wrap snoozing in between feeds and short stints of checking out this new world.
The boys are completely in love with her and are full of questions about her 'missing' boy bits and why when she cries are there no tears. When she slips into her dreamtime and her eyes flutter and those little dreamy noises escape her mouth they say 'she's dreaming about milk and boobs again'.
As nice as it is having her so close it's also frustrating having to calm my inner whirlwind, full of creative ideas although I must admit she sleeps through the sewing machine which came in very handy during the book week costume marathon!
I'm itching to get back to the Suzy Scroll Saw and am hoping to get back into my markety adventures in November with some new ideas that have been floating around in my head all year.
On the flip side, being slow has made me sort of enjoy.....wait for it and perhaps sit down......housework, in particular hanging the washing out and washing dishes. Madness I know and perhaps I should see a doctor just to make sure I'm still sane!
It won't be long before I hate the chores and the little girl is running around with her big brothers but until then it seems I'm enjoying being slow.

Oh she is adorable! Yep, you just got to go with what is going around you... hard as that can be sometimes! Hanging out the washing & even bringing it back in is OK by me, it feels good to know the laundry is done & put away... even if it is short lived!
ReplyDeleteOh, enjoy the slow time. Because you know it goes so fast. They are only the small for such a little time.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
What a little darling - no wonder the boys are in love with her.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the Qantas strike, I'd rush you down here so you could have fun cleaning up our apartment. Dang.
It is slow here too. Our boy is four weeks today. I'm itching to get to my sewing machine... but without any luck yet. I'd forgotten how much washing a newborn brings to the house!!! Amazing for such a small person.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is gorgeous.
She is just gorgeous! I'm quite like you, always want to be doing something to satisfy those creative thoughts, but when I have my "mummy days" and am forced to not work, I too enjoy housework. Strange hey!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you and adorable Xanadu soon xxx
