August already?!

I'm finding it quite hard to believe it's August already! This year seems to be flying over. Not a bad thing for me though because last time I looked I was staring at two blue lines on a pregnancy test, and then I blinked and now I'm 17 weeks LOL! Baby will be here before we know it :)

We had a gender scan at Babybond the other day and found out we're expecting a little girl. I never imagined that, I was convinced it was another boy so it was a lovely surprise. It still hasn't sunk in properly, I feel soooo lucky! We love her so much already and can't wait to meet her!

As for work, I've been feeling really good and have been managing to get lots of orders out the way. When the kids let me, that is LOL. It's hard working from home during the school holidays but I'm trying to balance things out so that I still get to do things with the boys.

I also started making christmas decorations last month. Seems a bit silly in July but as I said before, this year is flying over and I need to make sure I'm prepared. Last year I had a million (well not quite but I had a lot LOL) of orders and struggled to get them all done and sent out by December. I did it, but I learned that it's better to allow myself plenty of time. Anyway, here are the decorations that I've finished. Large christmas stockings are also a work in progress so I'll have pictures of those soon...

In between all the orders I've been stitching, I made some new hanging heart decorations. These ones measure approx. 4.5" x 4.5" and are lightly padded. They have a cluster of embellishments and a slightly off centre letter for personalisation. They'll make fab little gifts so I plan on making some more in lots of colours :)

Now I'm off to stitch up some more name banners :)
