Project Life - November

 Finally getting caught up with this. November was actually pretty short but sweet. Isabella started to be more mobile and we packed, got our keys and started renovating.

I'm actually almost out of my usual page protectors but I liked trying new formats. I like the photo heavy balance. I like that Isabella takes centre stage for this spread too and the colours tie in nicely.

February Goals

• Get my vaccinations up to date.
• Apply for Isabella's nursery place.
• Two sewing projects.
• Paint the pantry.
• 2 of my 30 things.
• Be positive about going back to work.

January Goals Review

• Take Isabella swimming - kind of done. We had water week at baby gym - Isabella loved it.
• Unpack all the boxes - not quite but there aren't many left.
• Complete another sewing project - done.
• 2 of my 30 things list - not by a long way.
• Enjoy family time for the christening - done.

It looks like a so-so month but I do feel that January was crazy round here and we got lots done.

Make it Monday - Door Stopper

This week's project was another repeater. When we moved, we decided we needed three more for our kitchen and living room. I ordered some new fabric a while ago for a spring kitchen blind and used some of it for these.

The hardest bit about the project was finding time to do it - after baby bedtime. Otherwise the stoppers were straight forward with no new techniques but it felt good to be sewing again.

I can't recommend this book enough.
