Tired in a good way

I'm knackered, but happy about today.

My parents came this morning and we all (including the children) made a good start at clearing the attic.
So far we collected three bags of rubbish, three bags of fabric and clothes for charity and two large boxes of paper and cardbox. I also put together a bag of still-good-but-now-far-too-small clothes, which my parents took home for my sister to look through.
We've achieved a lot in little time, but there's still a very long way to go. I'm feeling very optimistic about it though!

After lunch we all went to Ikea and managed to find the right fabric for Simon's curtains. Mum has taken the fabric home and will be making the curtains... kiss to Mum!
In the foreseeable future I also want new curtains for Amber, for the living room and of course for the baby. However, we're taking things step by step... that's my new motto :)

We then attended a party for Amber and Simon's niece Sarah who turned two years old on Thursday. Her present from us was a picture book, but last year I made her a pillow, of which I'm posting photos again today.

Tomorrow I'm sending off my wholesale order (too late & still not finished right now). For now I'm just going to relax (and take it ea-ea-easy)!

Oh you have been busy. Aren't parents wonderful things - that will be us one day, coming to help or children in their hour of need.
Make sure you don't do too much - you must also put your feet up and relax occasionally - there's plenty of time for being frantic when the baby is born.
cheers
