Pretty new makeup

Today after I dropped Pete off at prac, I went shopping. I can't even remember the last time I went shopping on my own! I had to do groceries, but I did some fun stuff first... shouted myself a coffee, and then I went to Target because I had seen some mineral make-up for a really good price, and have been looking for some for ages, but can't afford the usual cost. So anyway, $16.95 for this mineral make-up kit: foundation, blush, two eye-shadows and two brushes. Bargain!!!


I'm really happy with how it looks on. I don't usually wear foundation (read never!), but this is nice, it's so light, I don't feel like I'm wearing make-up but it makes my skin look really good! The eye-shadows are pearly green and blue, and the blush is a lovely naturally subtle shade. Yay for bargain make-up!!!

My husband says it makes me look REALLY hot ;) He thought I had had my make-up done (as in by someone who knows what they're doing) when I went to pick him up today. I think he likes it.

Third Trimester

Can you believe it???
27 weeks today, which according to 95% of pregnancy books = the beginning of the third trimester.

A lot of people I've talked to said that the second trimester dragged by, but it went in a flash for me. Bub's going to be here before we know it!

Two more weeks left of uni, then off to Noosa until Christmas and by the time we come home bubby will only be a few weeks away! Hooly Dooly. We really should get cracking on that nursery...'

Here's a belly pic to commemorate this auspicious day!

the quilt

I've just finished putting the front piece together. Now I need to figure out if I have enough wadding, and what to use for the backing and border. I'm really happy with how it turned out, it's so pretty huh???

And for those who are wondering, it is not any kind of hint about the flavour of the baby, it is NOT a baby blanket, and I started it well before I even knew I was pregnant ;-)

The skirt

So here it is!

A very simple one, gathered at the top and the waistband is stretchy material and quite wide so I can roll it down to support bumpy.

I'm not sure if you can see the colour properly, but it's white with little light green stripy bits. very light and summery.

I'm very happy with it!

More sewing

Yesterday I had a day of no uni work after finishing that massive assignment, and I spent the day with the sewing machine. I have made half of a blanket (the one with the cross-stitch feature squares that I made months ago) and last night I got Pete to take me to Spotlight for the 20% off sale and got some more pretty material and made another skirt!! I haven't got a photo yet, I'll have to get Pete to take one this afternoon.
I hurt my back though, because I cut out all the squares for my patchwork sitting on the ground ... bad, bad idea. My body is not the same as it was a few months ago, and the baby isn't so much into me sitting cross-legged on the floor leaning forward either- I got pretty battered from the inside!!

I'll update a little later on with photos.. for now I have a class to get to!
