Haaaaaave you met Ted?

June 8, 2013 by Abby 21 Comments

Theodore George arrived earlier this week and we are thrilled! He is known to all of us as Ted, Teddy, Teddy Bear, Tiny Ted, Big Ted, Little Ted and the list goes on.

He decided to arrive 1 week after his due date and in the middle of the night. Tipping the scales at 4.02kg (8lb 14oz) and 54cm (21 1/4″) he is a big baby but seems tiny to us. The midwife said he would’ve been 9lbs but had already passed his meconium before he was weighed. Keeping up the family tradition, he also has a huge head!

The labour was fairly quick and everything went very well. Believe it or not, I would describe it as incredible! So different to Roman’s delivery. I’m hoping to write up his birth story soon.

Roman is quite taken with him and is being a great big brother, fetching toys and juice cups for Ted. That’s it for now from me and the boys. We just wanted to say hi and let you all know that we are doing great and we’ll be back soon.

    Big bubba! Lucy was the same – would have tipped the scales at 10lbs but a huge poo just before weighing meant that she was 9lb13oz.

    He is gorgeous – I love that second photo of the two of you!

    Huge congrats xox

Quick and satisfying project today making a brush Quick and satisfying project today making a brush roll for my art supplies. Vintage canvas from the stash (which I think is from a bougie Italian designer). Matching bag to come. Then I can grab and go for my next en plein air session.
I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate eac I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate each season and observe the cyclical nature of growth and of life. Through tending a garden we learn to embrace imperfection and patience. That the reason for everything is the journey not the destination.
My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
My grandma always grew borage and would put it in My grandma always grew borage and would put it in salads. I didn't know anyone else who made salad with flowers in it (it was the 80s) and I thought she was a magical witch. I'm so excited to finally grow it in my own garden! When buying veggie seeds I found borage on @theseedcollection so couldn't help myself. Witches unite! ✨🌱
Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to front garden a bit easier. Used scraps of timber from the old retaining wall. He wasn't a fan of the circular saw but loved doing the drilling and screwing. Worked out just as I hoped! I don't have a builders square, but turns out a quilting ruler makes an excellent substitute.
