Yarn Porn!

It's been a looooong time since I treated myself to yarn <mini violins playing etc> but I really could not resist this amazing handspun merino sparkle rainbow yarn from Dye Spin Knit. With three skeins I should have more than enough to make something completely amazing...when I decide what will do the beautiful yarn justice!

Baby led weaning...or not!

The shouty boy is getting increasingly interested in food and so the baby led mess weaning begins.  Alas he wasn't particularly impressed with today's stolen toasted english muffin! 

Not back to school

We're lucky enough to live within walking distance of some distinctly lovely places and along with several other friends we spent today taking advantage of the sunshine and not being at school with an afternoon of foraging for elderberries and blackberries followed by a splash around in the river.

Then there were stripes

Life is still a bit wobbly and upside down here. I'm trying my hardest not to turn to my two favourite coping mechanisms of sugar and becoming a hermit!

I seem to have very much lost the will to craft as a result and haven't even been reaching for the kindle to continue reading the Dark-Hunter series. But yesterday afternoon I picked up my Color Affection WIP again and have now finished the first section and added four C1 stripes too...methinks my knitting mojo may be making a come back!
