I'm hoping my boys will have my musical ability as well, Andrew loves singing and music so 1 is on the way.

Trish, you are so clever!!!
I have scrappbooked a few things for Jake.
I organised a fundraiser for the parents centre last week with Resene and an interior decorator about decorating childrens rooms, and it went really really well, and I got HEAPS and heaps of ideas for doing fun cheap things for the kids rooms, since I'm not allowed to paint the rooms (DH is such a bore)so i will post when I have done them.. (probably next century!)

You guys are sooo good! I love doing arty things but just dont get the time!!
I am sooo inspired.....I need to get my A's in to G's and get stuff done.
I need to think of what I can do because Zaara and her future sibling will share a room and I need to have color and arty stuff that goes with both sex's.
Hmmm.....

Wow Andie I'm sure you've done more since Ella was born. Awesome!
Trish where on earth did you get the time/energy/motivation!! 
I'm more of a sewwer (is it spelt sewwer so as to not confuse with a sewer??) but it's so hard to get into a sewing project with little fingers around. So I haven't done much! But I did make a princess skirt for Hannah last year, bright pink satin then net curtaining under, and a plain white lining under that (so she wouldn't have itchy legs lol). Just ran elastic through the top but it's her favourite - yay!

I was wondering where Hannah got that skirt from!! She does look like a little princess in it too - very sweet! Nah I haven't done any art since Ella arrived. Hang on - the stars mobile, I made that and stuck it on her change-table so she'd stop rolling over constantly through every nappy change.
I'm amazed at the sheer volume of all the ones you did too, Trish - they're so cool! And I love Brenna's butterflies and Stacey's paintings too. That's IT... I'm dusting off the paintbrush this avo!
