Warm laps

I finished the quilt.

Just in time for Boss mans birthday today. I am a good wife.

Hexagons swapped from the Tuesday Stitching Group.



Horrah!

Warm in style!

The scarf and the matching fingerless gloves...



Stylish? ya?

Cute Galore!

The update of our surrogate baby! We visited her again today - four weeks!





Cuddle, cuddle and cuddle!

Strike a brooch pose!

Susie from Flowerpress organised a Brooch swap.

This is my brooch with my new hair do. I love it (the brooch!).

Thank you Luisa from Dance in My Garden. I am so lucky you were my swappie - not only do you live a few blocks away from me - you were such great company yesterday afternoon!

SO close yet so far...

Still knitting this...



Is it me? Or is knitting slow for you?

Okay okay I have a confession - I have spent the last two free evenings on Pinterest ...

Have you seen all the chat about Mollie Makes?



I got my hands on to the first issue which has this cool kit (far left) ... which I had to make. The older two saw the cover and asked if I could make one for their ipod and magic mouse. What could a crafty mum do?

Happy Weekend yous all!

Boy Jeans

Most boys make knee holes in their jeans. It is part of their genetic make up.

It is crafty mums genetic make up to fix those holes... Got this idea from Nydia from Evolution of the home ... very cool.

Thankyou Penguin and Cathy!

The post man visited while I was in my PJs!

Cathy @ Chunky Chooky had a give away from Penguin Books Australia for this book and I WON! It is perfect for me with the little mans soon to express artistic flair!

Yippie I won something!

Give me one good reason...

No actually make that three good reasons why I should not join Pinterest...

knitting texture love

At night, I am furiously knitting a blue scarf up for me. This will go with my new fingerless gloves. The air is chilly outside and we need to rug up.



I have not done this stitch before and loving it - the texture makes my heart flutter. Despite it not looking anything like in my knitting book. I have followed the instructions really and truly!

He.is.two.

Those of you were here when the little man was born. He.is.two.



Our busy, inquisitive, climbing boy!

I have relished his every moment and have thoroughly enjoyed him. What I have gained from having Gus has been way far more than I ever expected. Looking forward to many more years with you.

Hug and kisses Mum
