                                A few random bits from today :0)

Logan checking under the hood of his bed (pretending it's a car!  Hubster actually snapped this one :0)

Some squares I have knit with yarn I dyed using an interesting technique I love how it graduates from very dark at one end of the ball to a softer lighter colour at the other end :0)

and Logan's favourite game on ipad  tiny xmas chef

              My completed personal sock yarn club socks for January, I think ripping back to remove the ugly brown that was eating the entire foot of sock 2 was definitely a good idea as these now look like a matching pair :0)

Today we went to the zoo and saw many beautiful things, far too many to post just 1 picture today :0)

The gorgeous seals underwater, our first stop at Logan's request :0)

Watching the seals from above water level

Mum, i need to see the boat, lets run ahead and get there first

such beauty HAD to be photographed, taken at the zoo outside the frog house

Orangatang playing peek a boo under his blanket

and last but not least we actually managed to be at the penguins at the right time to see them out of their burrows :0)

It was very wet, but warm today and totally uncrowded for school holiday time :0)

January 7th 2011

I started my day this morning after a night filled with a small boy having nightmares to this sweet boy taking over my bed and sleeping until almost 11am :0) 

Then this evening this small boy did this!  I am filled with gratitude for the invention of safety switches and that my sweet little boy is ssafely sleeping in his bed tonight instead of the alternative which I just can't bare to think about for too long at a time!

I love my sweet little Logan so much and the thought of him being hurt is unbearable, I went to the bathroom right next to where he was and his daddy left the room for a moment and in less than 30 seconds he went from sitting on his bed playing to cutting the electric cord to the fan, the bang it made was  like nothing I have heard before and I never want to hear again.

Okay so I happened to go to spotlight at DFO today and was so very, very good and bought zero yarn even though there was some very nice wool reduced from $6.00 a ball to $1.00 a ball and multipacks of 10 balls for $10.00 I walked past and didn't buy any, BUT Michelle, what have you done to me? See what came home with me instead to use with my Christmas gift! I see some sewing in my near future. Now the bright buttons were just cute and on sale and DD really liked them, but what surprised me most was the blue paisley with butterflies, now anyone who knows me knows I do not like blue at all and I really don't care for paisley but these butterflies and the green in the fabric won me over, to the tune of $19.95 per metre fabric!!! I walked out of the store and realised what I had bought and cannot believe I paid that price for a piece of fabric!!! So I better get sewing fast so it is something useable :0)


This is where I got to late last night/early this morning on my parcel sweater-Loving how the cables look :0)

and this is my 2nd mini mochi sock club bag sock which I plant o rip back to reduce the amount of brown as it looks totally different to the 1st sock and there is plenty of yarn with the pretty jewel colours left in the ball :0)
