remote blogging

This isn't something I have tried before - well actually I tried to email a blog entry before but failed and gave up. So here's another attempt. It's half five am, grace halfway through feed! Awaiting burp. She should have been sleeping 'the night' for the last five weeks - not so. Anyhoo my blackberry and crafty blogs are keeping me company.

Second Post - Word of the Year

Last year I followed Ali Edwards idea of 'One Little Word' chosing a word for the year. Last year's word was Believe. I didn't do as much crafty bits as I wanted using the word, but nonetheless kept it in mind and feel it did me good. This year I am torn between two words - Celebrate and Appreciate. I think celebrate is more active than appreciate and might spur me into action, but it's also important to appreciate the little things....
I might work on both...and have plans for a journal/mini book thingy to log all the celebrations of the year....or to chose one thing to focus on celebrating/appreciating each month - family, love, nature, art, music, everyday life, etc. I suppose it's just about being consious of it all anyway really isn't it.
Happy New Year.

First Post of the New Year

So I haven't blogged in forever! I probably haven't slept a full night since my last post so you'll have to excuse me. I have been checking in with all the other crafty blogs - though usually from my blackberry at some unearthly hour. Anyway, thanks for all the good wishes and hopefully I'll be back in business soon and will try to keep this thing updated a bit better.

Some pics...seeing as I haven't posted any of Grace ..... shocking!

Here's Grace at just one day old with her big and very proud sister!

Here's me and my two girls.

Christening Day Family pic.

Expect pic overload from now on....the child is eventually taking to having a nap in the middle of the day, and I have decided to take a 'photo a day' for 2008. Not necessarily of grace, but as you can imagine, she is the star of quite a few. I haven't taken them off the camera yet, but will post some christmas pics instead. Santa came in great stead to our house and brought Eilis a bike and a Baby Alive!

Grace got some baby toys......although she's beginning to get some fun out of them already....she especially likes the mirror....vanity already!

Here's the two girls in their best christmas outfits....and I even managed to catch a smile from Grace. Ignore that head of hair by the way...she was only two months old at Christmas. We'll be robbed in shampoo and conditioner...I'm starting a savings plan now!

Fun times....
