Striking a pose and my birthday giveaway!

I wanted Keira to model her outfit yesterday…..


there was the bolero I made last year that quickly came off as well as her hair clip


and finally we got a pose with the cute pink pinnie I made and can’t wait to make more of


and a cheeky close up


oh and retro mummy has gone retro pram! twins can put a huge dent in your budget so we found an absolute bargain of an emmaljunga (thank you ebay), in much better condition than our prams…..so here are George, Baby Aysha and Keira modelling the new pram..it took a bribe of a jelly snake to get keira out of the new pram and i’m sure she thinks its coming to the park with us today.


and lastly its my birthday next Monday…32..where oh where have the years gone! To celebrate I’m giving away a pack of beautiful retromummy fabrics, as much as I can fit into a satchel so leave a comment by nightfall next Monday and I’ll draw a winner!

Comments

  1. I’m glad your pregnancy is going well and that you are starting to equip yourselves for life with twins. Love the pram, will make your life just that little bit easier, but don’t lift it in and out of the boot it will ruin your back and pelvic floors! Happy Birthday spring chicken, I’m looking as 42 later this year.

  2. OH, LOVE the cheeky close-up!!! Keira is gorgeous!
    Happy Birthday for Monday. Hope you have a great day. When are you coming back for a visit??

  3. Corrie I can’t believe how grown up Keira is looking. Hope all is well with you.

  4. ohhh add me please! :o) :o)

    happy birthday too… and wow you and your daughter look alike! What a cute photo- that little dress is so sweet. Hope you have a great birthday!

  5. Oh my gosh Corrie – I can’t believe what a ‘dead ringer’ Keira is for you! Amazing!
    32 is nothing – you’re a spring chicken!! Hope you have a great day on Monday in case I forget!

  6. lol at Kiera’s modelling, I have to take about 100 of Jai before I get a still shot! I love the pini you made, just adorable! I too bought a twin pram off ebay, it’s sitting in my room and Jai can’t wait to use it with his sister.

    I love the photo of you too, amazing similarity to Kiera!

  7. Fantastic pram. I ended up with 2 to suit different purposes but that looks like it’ll do everything!

    It’s funny that Kiera wont get out of it now….when you try to get all 3 of them out of the house I bet she’ll not want to get in!!

    Hope everything’s going well and you’re resting heaps and heaps!

  10. You’re having twins? I didn’t get on to that!!
    Nice to meet you yesterday – your little girl is just gorgeous.

  11. Thats one serious looking pram Corrie! You don’t look 32 you spring chicken!

  12. I didn’t realise the last picture was you! I was about to say how cute that dress was! Looks like it’s the genuine 70’s article lol. Sam was the same as Keira when I put him in his toddler seat last week – I couldn’t get him out! They must love the view. Happy birthday!

  13. I love her pinnie! Happy Birthday!

  14. Aww Keira is so adorable! Love that pinnie you made for her. Happy Birthday for Monday, Corrie! Hope you’re staying well and that you’ll have lots of fun on your birthday!

  15. What a striking resemblance! I love the pinni. It looks so cute and girly! I hope you have a great birthday!!!

  16. Happy Birthday for Monday Corrie. That pram is serious business hey! Keira looks very comfy in the toddler seat. I adore the pink pinnie you made for her, can I ask what pattern is that from? Miss Keira is a dead ringer for you at the same age!!!

  17. Happy birthday for Monday Corrie!

    I love that pinni you made for Kiera. Can I ask what pattern you used?

  18. What a georgous georgous little girl you have. Major high tech pram -well done!

  19. Wow, that pram will have you fit in no time – pushing it along with three littlies. Glad it all going well

  20. Wow what a super pram and your daughter looks the big sister already. Good luck with the pregnancy. Happy stitching, do it now while you have some free time.

  21. Have a wonderful birthday. Love the pram and Keira looks the big sister already. Enjoy your time now as you wont have much soon.

  22. wow what a beaut pram and Keira looks like a big sister already. Have a great birthday.

  23. Oh, that whole outfit is gorgeous – that is a very cute pinni you made. I’ve got to say though, I am absolutely in love with the outfit you are wearing in that photo. Don’t you wish you still had that? Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! In my book, anyone under 35 still counts as a ‘spring chicken’ – I now have to tick the “35 – 45 yrs old” box on forms…wwwaaahhh :(

  24. Kiera DOES look just like you as a little one! And she is gogeous.

    Happy birthday for Monday.

  25. Happy Birthday, Corrie. You are such a young chicken. I turned 42 last Sunday – wow I am 10 years older than you!! Oh well, I suppose I have done a few more things in that ten years – can’t believe my little baby is now nearly 15!!! Time flies. enjoy your babies.

    Also, your little Keira is just adorable – love her beautiful hair.

  26. Oh Corrie – Look at all that gorgeous hair she has! I love little girls that have such thick hair and our two little ones have been blessed this it! Happy Birthday for next week as well – you dont look a day over 25! hehe (wonder if that comment will get me two entries!) Happy Birthday Darls and I hope that you have a good one…

  27. Keira is such a little bundle of energy. I had my daughter when I was 32 and it seems so long ago now. I am sure time goes faster the older you get. Perhaps that is why the elderly dont sleep so much, scared of time passing them by. I love Keira’s pinny, so pretty. I do hope that you have a wonderful birthday. Oh nearly forgot, the pram looks great. I am sure you wont need any gym work to build up your arm muscles pushing around your 3 children.

  28. Oh my I LOVE the pini! And I love what you are wearing in that pic too! I have always wanted an emma and I have spent hours searching ebay, but they are always in melb!! So yet another reason I am jealous of your Melb life.

    Happy birthday sweets

  29. Keira just keeps getting cuter! Love the pram. I can’t believe that there will be babies in your household real soon!

    I hope you will put my name in the hat for some retro coolness! That way, I can hang on until you are up and blogging again!

  30. Happy Birthday for Monday. Enjoy your day and hope you get spoilt

    absolutly love the pinny. looks so cute on her, your clothes for her just amaze me.

  31. hi there corrie, it was nice to meet you at mikes on wednesday. i love the pink pinafore it’s gorgeous. happy birthday for monday.

  32. I LOVE that hair clip Keira is wearing! Congratas on finding a pram bargain, all of that stuff sure adds up, we got lucky and were able to buy a double stroller very cheaply from some people in the neighbourhood when Charlote was born and Jem wasn’t old enough to walk around on his own yet. It will be getting a lot more use when this baby arrives in 2mths time. Finally, have a very happy birthday!

  33. Happy Birthday on Monday!

    I love reading your blog and love to look at the stuff you make (your model is adorable). You have inspired me to sew more and I have enjoyed it so much! Thanks.

  34. Happy birthday for Monday Corrie. Oh my goodness, retro Mummy will soon lose those unwanted kilos pushing around the “retro pram” with its three passengers. I think you had better do a few practise laps around the block with your L plates on before you have to do it for real. Love a photo that……..

  35. Happy Birthday for tomorrow! So many good things today, super pram, happy girl to go in it, cute pinny! What an exciting year ahead for you.

  36. Happy Birthday for Monday!!!

  37. Happy Birthday! Hope you have an exciting day. I second the advice of getting lots of rest!

  41. What a wonderful pram. They are so great now. I remember my Mum’s blocked the whole walking side of our local bridge. She had to wait for people to cross before she could go with us. She always wished she had what we had with our babies now it’s getting better.
    Happy Birthday to you too.
