It's what I do . . .

The thing about :: Bantams

The thing about bantams (of which we have 3 in our garden) is that they lay a really small egg and it's nearly all yolk. The good things about this are that they are a perfect size for C and S likes yolk. The difficult things are that I prefer the white and they only fit into 2 of the 15 eggcups that we own. Yes, 15 eggcups. Even with as many house guests as we can manage and with normal sized eggs - that is still 8 too many. I have discovered this because I am clearing out the backs of cupboards today. It is a truly grimy and satisfying task which is completely distracting me from the actual work I am supposed to be doing - but the upside is that I have liberated several spiders from their dark, back-of-cupboard lives and they now happily reside in the garden and I know S will be happy about that.

This little lady is smaller than most, so a contender for a larger bantam egg. Her partner is with my brother and I have lots of happy teatime memories associated with them.Can't wait for C to get excited about using her. Until then she will be pushed to the back of the (clean) cupboard with the other 14 to await a sudden mass visitation of friends all wanting boiled eggs.

Pros
I've always wanted a piece of Rob Ryan's work - and now I could have some  - and a new skirt to boot.
I will save electricity by not looking at it on my 'puter 3 times a day ( or more maybe)
It's so pretty.
I will feel all self righteous because I'll have to make it and then I can say ' Oh yes, I made it at the weekend' to people who enquire.
If I don't dare wear it I could always frame it.

Cons
I like the white one best. I also have a toddler with often muddy feet.
Wearing patterns on my bottom? I fear the opposite effect to what I would normally try to achieve.
The price - and then I have to make it.

Ooooo look! More  Pros than cons . . .

You can get this skirt at Clothkits - but please don't buy them all and not even leave me with the option ;)

Woo Hoo

I've topped 20,000 views on my Flickr account. I know that it's lame to admit that I know that - least of all because it reveals that I've checked my stats which, I have been told, is impossibly uncool of me - but come on - doesn't everyone do that really? And also because I think that hard core Flickristas would throw their heads back and laugh at my paltry 20,000.
Anyway - I am going to continue to revel in the fact that my pictures have been opened quite a lot and that it can't all be my parents - can it . . . ?

To celebrate I present my Flickr favourite . . .

And my 'top seller'

There are a lot of people seeking baby bedroom inspiration out there.
Happy Wednesday.

She is a very lucky small person
