making things!

Having not blogged much recently i am not sure if i can even remember the exciting things that have been going on (cant be that exciting then i guess).  But i have been doing a bit on the creative side.  These are a couple of pictures of the things i have been  most excited by.


This is the shawl i am knitting for my mams 60th birthday next june.  Its my first attempt at lace knitting and i am loving it.  Miss F though utterly lovely has not been the easiest of babies.  Especially in the evening (oh and the days and nights)  So there is little time to knit (knitting comes before blogging, hence no blogging) I am also fairly pleased with the results.   I just love knitting, i think it keeps me sane sometimes.  Does drive Brian a bit insane he does triy to be understanding but i dont think he gets it.




Now this amazing contraption is called a mai tai a baby carrier blah blah blah.  But this one is different.  This one was made by Bea my amazing creative friend and mother of two lovely boys.  I was in distress that florence who was always in need of carrying, was to heavy and big to carry on the front.  That she was too young for a traditional back carrier and that i did not have the possibility of sitting and holding her as she wished with two other rampant toddlers to manage.  So she made me this cost £6 in fabric much more expensive when bought and helps me put.  Has totally revolutionized life.  I wont bore you with the details but aint it great!

Internet - we have it

After over two months in our new house we finally have our own internet connection.    Why it should take that long to transfer a broadband connection 8 doors down the hill I do not know.  For those of you who sometimes speak to us on Skype or MSN Messenger, please give us a call, we'd love to hear from you.
