MMM'14 Week Three Round Up

Week 3 of MMM'14 has been a tough one. I am running out of me mades fast and myself & my little one have both got colds so getting around in something other than my PJs has been is a big effort. Its been a good week for identifying some gaps in my hand made wardrobe though. I am finding I need more separates and I need to make some leggings ASAP.

Sunday 11th May

Sunday was Mother's Day. I went out for lunch with my family and wore my hand made seed scarf. I wish I could say the dress was a me made but I can not. I brought it second hand from Etsy and it's my favourite. Its actually the dress that started my love of dresses.

Monday 12th May

My day started very early on Monday because the small human in the house doesn't sleep well when he has a cold. I felt justified in drinking lots of coffee and wearing my PJ pants for most of the day. I made these years ago, a pair for me and a pair the same for my dear friend Ruth who is currently travelling the world. Lucky gal! If you're like me and love to read a good travel tale you can check out her adventures on Backpacking Diva.

Tuesday 13th May

Tuesday was much the same as Monday and called for a comfy Lola. I am finding I am wearing my grey one more than the cream. Don't get me wrong, I love the cream but its not such a great colour for hiding tiny grubby chubby hand prints.

Wednesday 14th May

Being cooped up inside was causing a bit of cabin fever so we headed out for a quiet coffee with a friend at the Corner Store Cafe. I am wearing my Bluegingerdoll Winifred Dress. I think all cafes should have sandpits and blackboards. 

Thursday 15th May

I love my cord Bluegingerdoll Peggy skirt. I have only made one so far but I have a few more planned. Super comfy and great for out & about or in my case on Thursday, around the house.

Friday 16th May

Today was another Lola day. hmmm I am starting to think I should rename my blog to "shrine to Lola". It was out to swimming lessons today and Wal got a chance to hop in the pool with him. I'm usually in the water so I don't notice but geeez it gets hot in the room with the heated pool. I might not wear tights and a cosy Lola to my next sit out swimming lesson. 

I hope you've had a great week and are in for a relaxing weekend. I brought some Scotch Finger biscuits today for the first time in years so I'll be eating those, drinking lots of tea and knitting while I try to recover from this cold.
