all caught up

so, i’m all caught up and am now officially allowed to post current goings on.
Noise has seen her dad again, they’re both really happy. I’ve had the serious talk with him about taking things easy and considering everyone elses feelings. we’ll have to see how it goes but for now it’s a positive thing.
I’ve had [...]

Christmas

So, still catching up!
I finished Grandma’s cushion cover

which matches perfectly with her lounge. Father Christmas came

and delivered lots of lovely presents so clearly we’d all been very good this year!
 
I got my apron, my jars and my knitting bag that I’d asked for, Tom on the other hand had real trouble working out just what [...]

ok, so still playing catch up - Boo’s birthday

well, my laptop cable is really struggling now so my postings are going to be infrequent for a while. good news is though that we’ve checked the warranty and it’s all covered, we just need to package it up and send it off - hopefully not for too long but it will mean i’ll be [...]

a little late but an ‘almost ready for Christmas’ post

So, now we’ve just about finished our Christmas shopping and many of the gifts are handmade/decorated. I’m happy, except we couldn’t think of anything to get the girls so we resorted to comercial/consumerism and got them something I’m sure they’ll like but that won’t have the wow factor for me. I’m not going to post [...]

parties and the aftermath

Well Sunday was Boo’s party. It was great. We didn’t have it in the scout hut because we were inviting hordes, she’s only going to be 2 after all! It was so that the 4 or 5 littlies that were there could run around fairly uninhibited and that’s exactly what happened. Boo and her 3 [...]

the cauliflowers are dead….

What more can I say? they died, Tom put them out and thel frost killed them. I’d photograph them but that would mean a permanent memorial to the cauliflowers that never were. I’d like to be flippant but the situation is far too grave.
 On other notes!
Muffin visited the school we went to see before and she starts [...]

It’s been a funny few days….

On Friday Noise met her dad. She hasn’t seen him since she was 2 so she was understandably very nervous. So was I. You know how when you meet an ex you have to look good… well I was in desperate need of a hair cut and of course 6+ months pregnant! Still, I didn’t [...]

So, the AGM was a success socially. We had a new couple turn up with their 14 week old beautiful daughter who was wonderfully behaved throughout and a couple who’d been through antenatal classes arrive with their 12 day old son! Unfortunately though in terms of business it was a bit of a disaster, we’ve [...]

cornflour and quicksand

The girls learnt a while back (probably about a year) about the properties of cornflour and how it was similar to quicksand. Today they asked if they could introduce Boo to it….
I was feeling brave and so here’s the result
                 
Boo thought she liked it, then she wasn’t quite so [...]

and finally

Oh, I finished Boo’s leg warmers, I know I was hoping to make them into legwarmersocks but it went wrong. At a critical point she fell and bumped her head on the cupboard. I threw the kniting aside and left it, I didn’t go back to it for days and of course as I was sort [...]
