Where Have I Been?

Hello everyone!  Yes, believe it or not, I am still here!  It's been a long old time, and for all the lovely well wishers out there who have been asking after me and the bub, all is fine in The Wool Shack household!  Life has just gotten hold of me and pretty much not left much time for much else (plus a REALLY busy business, two small people and a pregnancy!).

But - I PROMISE - I am now back, and I WILL be posting (and continuing to do so) come hell or high water!

So, thank's for your patience and lets get on with Knit 'n' Bitch!

Before I go on to show you what I have completed, purchased, not quite completed, want to comple etc, lets update you on my life to-date!

6 weeks today I shall be going in for my C-section to retrieve baby #3.  The pregnancy has been going well up to now, although I had been suffering from migraines, which landed me in Hospital for 4 days last weekend due to their severity (slurring, blurred vision, vomiting, thumping headache...the whole works!!).  I didn't get these with my other pregnancies and two doctors at the Hospital seemed surprised to hear that I was expecting a boy.  Apparently it is more common to get such severe attacks when carrying a girl, something to do with the Oestrogen from girl baby & mummy!  Both did the whole "well ultrasounds are never 100%" so now I am thrown back into the excitement of 'do I REALLY know what I am having?'.  I shall keep a girly name on standby, just in case, but I am not holding my breath!  I will post a bump photo soon to show you progress!

The Wool Shack has been incredibly busy this season, which is the main reason I have got sooooo behind with posting on my blog.  I have been too cream crackered at night to do anything but flop!  This is great, but makes space for anything else in life a little short!  We have just lost Lisa, one of our Wool Shack Girlies, due to the dreaded Pregnancy Lergy (she was 6 months gone and needed a break), so we are short staffed right now.  IF you live in Perth and would like a couple of days a week work (we are pretty flexible) do get in touch.

When Sprog #3 arrives, I will be taking a little back seat at The Wool Shack and concentrating on a project that has been on the go for ooooohhhhhhhh soooooooooo lonnnnnnnnnnnggg!  Its a Kids Knitwear Design Label that I have all the inspiration for, but now need to put the designs together.  I figure that with a wee person around, I have an excuse to sit, knit, sketch, design, plan etc, in amongst the breastfeeding!  Watch this space!

So, that's my brief 3 month history since we last met.  Let me move on to the juicy stuff!

Thanks for your patience

Dont over do it. Take care of yourself.

Well it might be a girl, there are cases where they get it wrong. Everyone that I know have had girls lately, and finally 2 boys have arrived. I cant wait to see what you have been knitting, and if I lived in WA I would definately want to work at the Wool Shack, but in this case Victoria is too far away, drats! Good luck with the new arrival and I cant wait to see him/her.

Good to see you back Emma. Hope all goes well with your new project and good luck with the new arrival in 5 weeks.
