The Curly Girl is six!

Yet another birthday here :)  This time it's Rachael who was six on Friday.  The main present she requested was a tad delayed but has arrived today and is a HUGE hit!

Meet Rose, a custom 16" traditional Waldorf Doll by Little Oke Dolls

She's the perfect companion for Becky, the waldorf doll I made for Rachael's 3rd birthday.  

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.
