Aleaxander is 7!

Alexander turned 7 this month, we only had a small celebration as we are saving for our trip but he had a great day! He had cupcakes at school with his friends and his best friend came home with us after school and helped Alex try out his birthday presents which included a Nintendo DS which he was so desperate for, a build a bear teddy and some cloths for his bear and puppy from when he was born(he sleeps with puppy) and a chessboard-he loves playing chess, asked for his 1st chess set at 2 years old-lol. Cassi baked his cake and a good time was had by all

Mothers Day Gifts

On mothers day morning I was woken by the head chef and waiter from Le Kid's restaurant with good morning wishes and a hand written menu outlining the dishes of the day available for me to choose from.

I then was showered with knitty goodness.

Maddi, Rohan and Alex had each purchased me a ball of pretty raspberry yarn and Maddi had thought to check the ball band to see what size needles it required and Bella purchased these for me.

Cassi and baby Logan together purchased me 4 balls of green zoomy yarn and a pattern book to knit with it.

The next day when In saw Jennifer she had a lovely card and 3 pairs of new knitting needles for me as well.

All in all a lovely day of knitting in bed and lovely thoughtful gifts, The children told me they brainstormed and decided I would like something knitting(They are very bright children!)

Then Rohan found a ball he liked and they all agreed to buy the same ( they can cooperate for the greater good) and maddi found the

needles.

I am impressed at how well they organised themselves and worked together to make Mother's day fantastic

Logan's woollie stash

This is Logan's woollie stash at the moment, I think I have enough longies now, but need a few more soakers as he is outgrowing these ones!

I have started a cabled jumper for Logan, my 1st cable jumper

This is a new jumper for Logan, It is expensive ($5.95 per ball, so close to $40 for a 18month olds jumper) but oh so nice Patons merino totem which is a nice fine 8 ply/dk.

New Cardi on needles for Bella

I have this almost done, The yarn is called zoomy and for good reason, it's superfast! Oh and it's PINK for girls

Sheepypants #7- am I addicted?

This is my latest pair of sheepy pants for Logan,

They are made in Jolly Jumbuck walker colourway on Nundle 12 ply base wool. You are getting all the pictures in 1 go as I have been unable to post due to major computer dramas which I really hope are all resolved.
