Taking time to smell the flowers...

Life seems to be on full spin at the moment.

Wow, what a week. We have descided that the kids and I will pack up and move ahead of Tim. This enables us to move into a house and not be homeless for weeks on end after the Christmas rush. Only down side to all of this is we will be Daddyless for two months (although I am sure that this little wife will handle it, it is the kids that I am worried about. Sure I will miss him, but imagine the crafting I will get done as I will not have to clean up before dinner every night :)

Anyway - the kids and I headed to the park on the first day of Spring to enjoy a little sunshine. It also gave me a chance to get some photos of some knits that I have not photographed yet.

A shrug for Amelia - I knitted this last year, but she would not wear it for me, constantly complained that it was "too scratchy Mum!" I have washed it a few times through out the year and fingers crossed that she will wear it with a little dress when the weather warms up a little bit more.

And a vest for Baden. I love him in a vneck and this is a great little knit.

Does anyone notice these pants. They were one of Tikki's originals and have been past from family to family of little cloth wearing boys. From Ali to Bec and now us. Thanks girls and they are still going strong Georgie.And because it is Spring and one can not take enough photos of flowers in bloom - Enjoy...

We are hoping to get over to Canberra during Floriade - so more flower photos to come.

One Day Away!

SPRING

Although it is a little hard to believe. It is raining, misserable and 11 degrees outside.

But through all of that is: the hope of Spring rain. My Dad's birthday, Amelia turning four very soon. Moving to the Sunshine State (lets not mention the packing, unpacking and looking for housing) Sewing (the sewing machine is humming in the corner attempting to be recognised as the knitting needles have been rather busy over winter) and lets not forget flowers...

And then there were SIX!

I finished the knitted cowls/neck warmers and they have been very much recieved.

Amelia and I also had fun doing a little photo shot of them.

If you would like the individual specs on them and have Ravelry access please find them all here.

Sorry being a little slack this weekend. Have paper work coming out of my ears for this move and a house that looks like a bomb has gone off in it (well not really - just a study that I need to find the top of and a spare bedroom to get ready for the arrival of some guests)

Dotty Spotty Goodness

Some of you might remember me signing up for the Polka Dot Swap - and with every thing going on and the sickness that has been flying around the house at the moment I only managed to get my parcel in the mail. Thanks so much Michelle for understanding. I hope that you enjoy what I put together for you.

Here is what I was lucky to recieve.

I love it all. The Sunnyboy Quilted pouch is already in use with a set of socks for Tim, and the little brooch is on my coat - which would you believe I am still wearing and it is almost Spring. We have had a cold front come through and it is freezing yet again.

If you like the Sunnyboy, Michelle has an Etsy store and trades as Buttontreelane. Go check out her goodies and postage in Australia is FREE (how good is that)

It's Tuesday and I Can't wait...

For one more week...

Cause then it will be SPRING.

Also can't wait for

* it to warm up so my little man can get better and get over the croup (take two almost three)

* the night terrors to end - they are draining on all. has anyone elses little people eperienced them?

* for January - cause we are moving to Brisbane - yippy - this east coast girl is heading back to the coast (can you tell that I am happy)

* oh and of course more hours in the day - but then who doesn't.

Sorry for the unexplained disappearence. Hug someone close to you - go on just do it.

For more people who can't wait for something be sure to head over to Buttons By Lou

It's Tuesday and I Can't wait...

until next week.


Next week, we recieve in writting where we are being posted to next year. It means that I can start the planning stage of moving. The filling in of paperwork, organising removals and looking at areas to live. We will pack up just before Christmas and depending on where we move to DH will go up unpack and come back and get us (this I am VERY excited about - out of the last 6 moves I have done 5 by myself)


What can't you wait for this week? To see more be sure to pop over and visit Lou
