Gifts for the Baby

So I said in my last post that I like sewing and have my own business, and that I was expecting baby number 2.  Well since we live in QLD and its extreme heat, especially at Christmas Time, I have decided to attempt to make our little kicker some Nappy Covers in Christmas Material with matching Appliqued Singlets (since its far too hot for anything else in December). 
I really hope they are a success, as I have a nephew due not long before our baby (7 weeks) and Im sure my sister-in-law would think it'd look extremely adorable aswell. I also have a niece due soon, but Im not sure if my sister would put them on her daughter, but if I am successful, I might check with her and see if she'd like a set aswell. 
I feel so sorry for babies in Summer, its just far too hot for them. 
Well its just a short one this time, Ill have to let you know how I go and see if I can work out how to upload photos if I do succeed :P
Until next time, Keep Smiling :)

First Ever Blog

So I'm new to blogging but needed a place to say what I need to say without the judgement 'facebook' brings.
I thought my first blog would just be to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. 
I'm Kirra and Im 22. Im currently a stay-at-home/work-at-home mummy to a gorgeous little girl 'Miss M' who has just celebrated her 2nd birthday a week ago. I have a wonderful partner who works extremely hard to provide for us with his full-time job as a Cabinet Maker and also his own business selling Mulched Manure (Cow, Chicken & Occasionally Horse and now also Mushroom Compost).  The 3 of us are expecting a new addition to our beautiful little family, due in early December, 'Baby J' is going to be a very welcomed addition to our family :) You could say Im just a little excited as Im only 23 weeks along and already have Baby J's room all set up for him/her. We dont know what gender Baby J is as Mr S (my partner) refuses to know, therefore making it hard for me to find out because that's something you just can't keep secret.  Who else is in our little family? Theres our dog, Spud and our Turtle, Myrtle, as well as 2 ducklings who Miss M has named 'Daisy & Piggle' as well as the fish but they dont have names because there is far to many of them. 
I said I was a work-at-home mummy, because I have my own business - Kirra's Creations, which I launched on July 21st 2011 selling handmade items for children. Im hoping I do well with it, but at this stage it's all just trial and error, which is what business is all about.
I love cooking, sewing, and craft as well as reading and the internet (which does get quite boring at times though). 
Mr S and I hope to buy a house soon, which Im hoping will be a success which will give me plenty to blog about other than my mediocre exhistance. But Ill inform you of the progress as it comes to light :)
In the mean time, I hope you liked learning a little about me :) And until next time :D Smile!
