Mummy practise

Excuse me looking rough, this shot is all about the buggy. Not it's beauty - for once - but it's darn impossible construction. DH is pretty nifty with his DIY mind, and I'm really very proficient at sitting in a chair and directing, but even that solid team was defeated by PROJECT BUGABOO. Man, those buggy people really need to learn how to write some instructions. It's all very well having a snazzy DVD (totally pointless), and two manuals, but when none of the above actually include any useful information things start getting a bit t-e-d-i-o-u-s. We actually accidentally smashed a big picture frame in the making of this buggy and it's surprising we didn't smash each other too, because what looks like a simple case of click, click, Velcro and go, is actually long, laborious and completely counter-intuitive. Anyway, we someone got there, and this is the a face of relief - not one of beauty, but hey, you can't have everything in life.
We keep going into the Bear's room and having a bit of a push about. Buggies are fun, especially when there is no baby inside and you can do wheelies and stuff.
As you can just about see, the nursery is coming together. The rug really made a difference, as did the removal of several tools and a handful of large cardboard boxes. Now I'm deep into decoration time. I've already made, with my own fair hands, three pictures to hang on the wall and just need to find some more cute fabrics and the other six will be done. I'm doing a 'circular' theme behind the nursing chair: lots of circular frames containing different prints and stuff, to brighten things up. I figure circles look softer than rectangles. So it's all about the decoration now - and the washing.
Fairy Non-Bio, I need you in my life. It's amazing how on day one of maternity leave, my brain has already completely emptied itself of anything remotely fashion related (I sit here in the same clothes that you see above. What? They're comfy), and is now completely focused on washing and drying very small items of clothing.
