For A, Pisa, ItalyAll I can say is ph-ew. It may seem paltry to some, but an order of nine garments amongst single orders really throws me right now. And going down the made-to-order route means changing machine and overlocking thread almost every garment (not to mention mindset)!
It's a little challenging right now as Audrey has slept through a total of four times in the past two weeks (or whenever it was since I last wrote), meaning from the 10pm-ish feed through to 6am. It's something I guess. It, at least, shows she can do it. What I will not be doing for the forseeable future is drinking 2.5 glasses of champagne (getting giddy at a daytime 3rd birthday, which is about my lot these days) when nursing (not meaning at the same time, just nursing fullstop). Audrey slept fitfully that night, waking every 40 minutes to be resettled until I gave in and took her to bed with me. Peace was restored around 1am through to morning after shifting her back to her cot. So not worth it, even when the champagne is fancy fizz. I would have thought she could handle a curve-ball-food through at her at 9-10 months, but...obviously not. Oh how I miss Mexican food.
if only i had champagne as an excuse for leon waking up every 45-60 minutes for the past week! ...isn't it a bit infuriating when you know they can sleep through the night but don't for whatever reason?
ReplyDeletewow, that little girl is super lucky! i am already getting excited about leon's spring wardrobe. lots of striped tops, and maybe a pair of scout jeans? he wears his wool pants nearly every day.
i'm impressed that you've been able to get so much sewing done on top of wedding planning and two little ones.
Wow! What a beautiful arrangement! perfection as always.. you have quite an eye there, Miss Catherine;)
ReplyDeleteoh man, I must have been going to some dud kids birthday parties as no one has offered me champagne yet. Beautiful clothes by the way.
ReplyDeleteWithout sounding shallow, when I heard my new friend's husband had a Maserati parked in the drive I couldn't wait to see the kind of 3rd birthday they would throw. Turns out, pretty nice! What appeared to be a waiter (rather than family or friends) topped up our glasses, and food-wise (for adults) there were delicate, bite-size sandwiches and strawberry & ferrero rocher plates.
ReplyDeleteI could really get used to those sorts of kids birthdays, but in all honesty they are a rare bird.
Mostly it's a case of 'let the adults starve or be forced to eat sickly lollies and cake, and a glass of juice if you're lucky'.
Thank you Catherine, although you made me feel guilty...

Claudia, please don't think that! I loved doing your order, especially the custom work. And I would never say yes if I wasn't happy doing so. It will all be seeing you soon :)
