My Creative Space...

It has been very quiet around here.  Sorry about that Blogging friends.

I have been knitting.  Slowly getting there and as the weather starts to cool down I am starting to wish that it was infact finished and I was able to wear it sooner rather then later.  The number of knits on the needles are also growing and that is a sure sign around these parts that winter is on it's way.

For more creative spaces and maybe a few finished things, grab yourself a cuppa and check out Our Creative Spaces.

The Tooth Fairy Visited...

The little miss in the house has lost her first tooth. 

She was very excited and proud that she has lost her very first tooth. (most of her friends lost a headful each last year so she has been waiting patiently for the day to come)

It's a shame I didn't get those family photos done before the gummy grins.

A busy weekend this weekend. I think that we try to cram too much in (but then who doesn't) Today we spent it together at the local farming expo

 Enjoying a can of lemonade

 Trying out the tractors for size

 Lego Love Boat

and these cuties.  I wanted to go home with the baby Alpaca under my arm.

My Creative Garden Space...

There is not alot on the crafting front here. Well there is but it is rather slow going. The change in the weather is playing havoc on my hands and they are not liking the purling of this knit. 

I have been in the garden.  Trying to turn a pile of  bricks into a herb spiral.  I am getting there.  So far this project has only cost me the soil, straw and the herbs.

Looking forward to getting it finished so I can get the herbs in.

The inspiration for the spiral garden comes from The Nature Learning Centre Blog

Thinking that I might have to cast on something in the round just so I have something to knit when the hands won't let me purl.  For more creativity of the yarn, thread and material kind, pop over here

Kinder...

This little man began four year old kinder last week.

He was excited to go.  He is really missing his little friends from Brisbane and I am hoping that through this he will start to feel a little more settled. 

The bag is almost as big as him. But right or wrong he was having a bag like his sister.

A new routine...

With school going back and the sun still high in the sky we have implemented a new bedtime routine.  After the normal brushing of the teeth, we have always read to the kids.  This will not change as I feel that it is important for the kids to be read to.

However, now after we read to them they are now allowed to read to themselves.  We have set up lamps in the room and allow them to choose their own story that they would like to read.

Do you like Baden's pile beside his bed.  The one who is still up to reading the pictures and making up his own story is the one with more books.

It seems to be working and they are excited to go to bed even with the sun still up.

{sunday snippets}: a collection of photos from your week.  No need for words.  Let the pictures tell your story.

All photos taken on my iPhone using the instagram app.  I am a little bit addicted to it at the moment and I really have to start pulling out my DSLR.  If you are into Instagram I am mealyandi over their too. These are also my photos for the Fat Mum Slim's Feb Photo-a-day challenge.
