Phew...

I'm tired and my back kills me... ALL the time!! But at least I have time to knit now. Even if it's only for him :)



Buzzbee & Baby Yoda

Little Model

One of the joys of being a bit crafty and being a mum is that you can make stuff for your baby. Here's a couple of things I made, modelled beautifully by Leo!


I created the onesie by uploading some of my artwork via Cafe Press, who will then print it for you.


The cardigan is the Rosebud cardigan from Erika Knight's book 'Simple Knit's for Cherished Babies'.

It's Been a While

On Tuesday Leo turned 3 months old. I can hardly believe how quickly time has passed. Of course I'm still too busy to really focus on my blogs, but I wanted to say a quick hi and post these lovely pics from our recent holiday in the west of Greece.



Motherhood is really wonderful and although we still have our 'difficult' days I really do have one beautifully easy baby. He is a true joy. I'm only really finding time to post pictures on my Facebook page (you can find me under 'Leanda Xavian') at the moment so please do 'friend' me over there if you want to keep up with his progress.

the prettiest star

Here he is folks...my precious little boy. Two and a half weeks old. We are all doing fine. Exhausted and no time to write any more, but will be back soon :)

Tuesday is the day!!

So, by this time next Tuesday I should have my little boy! I can be exact about this because I am due to be induced. So a last weekend of just us two and final preparations. Slightly hampered by an exploding water tank today in 40 degree heat. Not a lot of fun... I hope you all have a great weekend and I will be showing you the small one very soon!

Happy Summer!

As you can see I've been rather quiet here on blogland since the wedding as we're just concentrating on getting ready for the big arrival in a couple of weeks time!! But I want to say a huge thank you for all your lovely comments on our wedding... I genuinely am so touched by all your kind thoughts and wishes. Until my next post, I hope you all have a wonderful summer!

We did it!!

Yesterday I married the most wonderful man in the world! George has been my rock for 6 years now.


Finally, with me at 7 1/2 months pregnant we got married. We've been through a lot in the past three years, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.


We are in love and money doesn't buy happiness. (Dress, shoes, ring and flowers (arranged by me) = 100 euros ;)
