Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by Relly in Fud, Mi Casa, Paper and Glue, Stitchery, Yarntastic

So, from the end of Nov to the 24th of Dec (ahem), I’m going to be hosting a small blog party of makes from my friends of blogland. Come by each day to see a new project and find a new friend. Most of these ladies are new to regular blogging so it’ll be nice [...]

Toby on the move, originally uploaded by RellyAB.

You were still a tiny toddler, only just on your feet, walking confidently. I was just getting used to you being my boy and not my baby.
Now you are a big brother, independent, wearing pants, brushing your teeth, finding jokes funny, getting tall and long-legged and you seem [...]

It’s funny isn’t it

…how we spend all day ferrying the kids and working and running from here and there but it only takes one photo like this, that you took on a cold beach, on a day visiting my great aunt, that reminds me of all the reasons I love you. Only love makes a cold beach in [...]

Ninja Parade Slips Through Town Unnoticed Once Again
Paul and I were discussing various collective nouns the other day. He informed me there had been a vote on the internet and the collective noun for ninjas was ‘a seemingly empty room of ninjas’. Internet, I Less Than Three You!

A gift

Capturing one kid in shot, looking at the camera and smiling is pretty tricky. Getting two is nothing short of a gift from the universe! I’m lucky that my boys seems to love each other’s company so much.

If wishes were dishes …

… I’d have about as many as are stacked by my sink right now.
It suddenly hit me over the weekend what a huge change has happened to me since the beginning of June. Obviously, we had Thing 2 which was never going to be a minor deviation from the norm but then our house was [...]

On the train home from That London

Posted on 05. Nov, 2009 by Relly in Mi Casa

Today was a rare day out for me meeting with a client in That London. I read today’s prompt about lists and immediately thought of my todo list. I’m not even going to start on that here. It can be summed up by the fact I have two small children, a fulltime freelance business and [...]

10 random things about me right now

1) My hair really needs a wash after I had a lovely, but oily, scalp massage as part of a facial yesterday.

My small sons, let me show you dem.

Apologies for the cheezburger style title (I am a undying lolcat fan, and Ben Huh is my secret internet boyfriend) but I want to tell you about my small sons. That’s the problem. I want to very much indeed but it seems to be very frowned upon to lay out too many details on the [...]

I have good intentions. You know the sort of things. This year I’m going to make everyone’s Christmas presents. I’m going to remember to take photos. I’m going to stop getting so exasperated when Thing 1 decides he can’t possibly put socks on without assistance or Thing 2 thinks I haven’t quite enough laundry and [...]
