IMAGE HEAVY WARNING

you have been forewarned, our week has been a busy one and this is what we have been up to .......

last weekend we did our wallpaper alcove

my mum and i took jasper on his first trip to the zoo p.s that skirt was one of my ASOS purchases =)

i've started work on my dining chair restoration

i also found an old door under the house which we are making into our new dining table 

jasper has two girlfriends milla and nina and he sucked face with both of them this week... he was caught in the act with milla, top pic and i just missed out on snapping him with nina - who i looked after for an afternoon!!!

i also went out on a dinner date with the mummy's of both of jasper's girlfriends, while papa bear had a boys night and played video games...

it's non stop and i'm loving it, getting ready for a first birthday party tomorrow and i'm dressing up as a fairy exciting stuff

Revelation

i have been wondering the last few days, if i should post this or not.

i may not include photos but i will wait and see.

i went out with my mother on wednesday, i wore an outfit i thought was cute. grey jersey maxi dress with a vintage lilac shirt tied up under my bust with sleeves rolled up and little white pumps. i'd worn this while i was pregnant and had been told i looked lovely, i was only 6 months with a slight protrude at the front!

i thought it's bound to look ok now. i was lucky that during my pregnancy i only gained 10kg but i'm still heavier now than i was before, after have a c-section and jasper not breast feeding, well my body is still slightly lumpy and bumpy.

i asked mum to take some pics of us as it was a lovely sunny crisp winters day and we were walking through a lovely park, my intentions were to share this 'cute' outfit with you. i don't claim to be the next big fashion icon i am just a normal girl not too flashy not a hard core vintage thrifter but i think i have some sense of style that maybe someone will appreciate.

well mum took some pictures, one of which was from behind!!!!! needless to say my love handles and panty line could be seen a mile away! I felt ashamed to have got dressed and walked out of the house looking like this! (i really need to buy a full length mirror)

thus bringing me to my revelation that i really need to zumba more often, watch what i eat a bit better and re evaluate my wardrobe and maybe stop hanging onto things in the hope i will fit them again. like my favourite alice mccall grey jeans which are a size 8 and i'm now a size 13 =( which i have had for years!!

rant over.... have a lovely weekend xo

Breakfast at Tiffany's....

......... if you have experienced the classic that is Breakfast at Tiffany's and like me feel in love with Holly's charm and her apartment you will have noticed her sofa is a claw foot bath..

i love love love it like crazy and have kept my eye out for a cheap bath that maybe i could modify myself...but i have no idea where i would put it or how practical it is, but it's just so darn cool!!

then here i am aimlessly trawling the magical world of etsy and i come across this gem

the colours are so cute and whimsical check out the listing here

I can just see me and papa bear chilling out on this bad boy, but alas i'll have to find something closer to home, or maybe find a way to do it myself, could be a nice outdoor couch for our deck in the summertime don't you think? 

ciao darlings xox

Bedroom...progress

so i have mentioned in a few posts the changes we are making to our bedroom. just to refresh your memories, we have turned our wardrobe into an alcove for our bed to sit in (so our heads are no longer under a window - papa bear and mines pet peeve!!)
i will be getting a brand new wardrobe space built by papa with no doors and fixed/floating on the wall! so for the mean time my clothes are EVERYWHERE!!

This is how we are getting on...

things are looking good and one more coat of plaster and we can get started on decorating. i can't wait to show you the wallpaper i was allowed to get (was on sale 1/2 price)
things are getting on here slowly but surely. i asked papa to take a break to spend some time with me and baby, as i was feeling a little left out. i know i'm lucky to have a wonderful hubby who works so hard to support us during the day and then spends weekends and evenings trying to get our wee house just the way we want it, but he needs a rest every now and again too!
let me know what you think, i just love getting comments so don't be afraid to leave them
until next time
