Amelia Lends a Helping Hand

Just some pictures of my little munchkin! She is becoming a very good little helper of late and thought that I would share some photos of her.Helping Dad line Eme's kennel

In the kitchen cooking up a storm

And a little girl who should be in bed - but instead has a new found love of flanell! If she gives it back to me it will become a new pair of pj pants.

Saturday 9th of June is the official Knit in Public day!

So get out your needles and get out there! Tim wants to head to the hills and see the snow - so I think that I might have to take my needles and find a little cute coffee shop somewhere and sit and knit as I sip on a latte - who wants to join me!

Let me know what you have planned.

IS IT REALLY WEDNESDAY AGAIN

Ok WIP Wednesday.

Well for all of my followers - you will possibly have worked out taht I can't just work on ONE thing at a time.

Sometimes I wish I could - I know that it would take alot of stress out of Tim's life with not having craft all over the house (apparently I have it in every room of the house!)

So this is what I am going to do - I am having a break from blogging for a week - this should give me time to get some of the things that I want to get done completed. To make a start I am making myself a few lists - So here goes - Hopefully I will be able to get some of them crossed off of the list soon (and some WIP's completed)

Get wool so I can finish Amelia's Jumper

Pull out jumper for me that has been shoved somewhere since June 2004!

Make something for MIL for her birthday

Make Amelia some new pj's - she has sprouted legs in the last few weeks

Make something for friends new baby - come on kid - you are cooked - show us your face!

Embroider cherrys on jumper for Amelia

Clean house

Spend time with Dh and DD on the long weekend!

Sort out wool piles and sort into projects

Get mothers day gifts finished and sent off - I know I am a BAD daughter - but it is the thought that counts (right?)

Ok - I think that is enough for one week - wish me luck - have a great week and I will be back with lots of pictures and to update you all soon - I promise

A FOGGY MORNING AND TWO LITTLE BEANIES

Look at what I woke up to this morning! FOG

And here is a picture of two little beanies completed and ready to send off to there new owner! How warm and cuddly do they look. If you are interested in a set to keep your little ones heads warm please contact me.

World Environment Day

Today the 5th of June is World Environment Day. Saving water - it has become my past time for the past 6 months - I save all of our washing water and we bath in a bucket (it is a very big one) and then I bucket this all out on the lawn and the plants around the house. A little different to this time last year when we were in Darwin and I could turn the tap on at what ever time I liked.

And a little trivia for you all today - did you know that at 12.34pm the time, date, month and year lined up to read 1234567, that will not happen for another 100 years so I will not see it again!

Knitted Beanies

Just thought that I would show you what I am working on at the moment! These are for an order - Alison I hope that this is what you were after.

I have managed to cable - why have I boycotted it for so long - it is lovely and not that hard at all - I am in love with these. The one almost completed will be have tassles on it! To cute for words and I can not wait to see pics of her 10month old in them!

The wool is Cleckheaton, Angora Supreme. It is a blend of 70% Lambs Wool and 30% Angora. I think that I could wear a jumper in it!

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons

I am pleased to report that Amelia's little pinni is complete - Yes I have finally managed to put buttons holes on it. Now buttons holes are not that hard - well usually - but would you believe that it took four machines before I could do it. Mine is playing up, two friends did not want to play the game and then Jodi came to the rescue - and I was able to do it in a flash (Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!)

And a few of Amelia wearing her new dress!
