what I am doing today;
sledging, getting ready for school and trying to prepare myself to get back into the real world tomorrow (we have been hermits for a week!)

avoiding the big jobs
what I am doing today;
cleaning bathroom, laundry, more knittin and knatterin and beavers
Thank you for kind comments about baby bunny Mildred. We have high hopes for her! Will tell you the tale of the one became six bunnies very soon, but am sure you can imagine the way it will go, 'at it like rabbits' is most definitely not an old wives tale.

local no news
what I am doing today;
cleaning, knit and knattering and having friends for tea
Phew. Today has been a long day.
And I am absolutely shattered.
A few hours in the local knitting shop was bliss and have excitingly (no, am sure thats not a real word) cast on a new project.
Yet another cardigan that I will never wear!
The yarn is very new to me. Very scary in fact. Not only is it acrylic but it is variegated. I normally have palpitations looking at this sort of yarn but I am being adventurous!
And actually, ten rows in, it is quite nice wondering when I will discover the next colour in the yarn.
It's sooo not me. Definitely not one of my 'yummy' pictures. Or you may disagree?
Why did I choose it? Heaven knows, but a change is as good as a rest isn't it?
Have I told you about our baby bunnies?
We have three, they are 8 weeks old now and quite big. Two have new homes to go to but the other is staying. It has spinal damage, goodness knows how long it will live it is a bag of bones. However, it has the nicest nature of the three and is the one that my daughter wanted to keep all along. How bittersweet is fate.
Meet Mildred, one of our six rabbits, the runt but everyones favorite;
and now one eye has closed up. Looks like its the vets for me again tomorrow.
Take care

looking after the past for the future
Hello. Just a quick post on a dull Sunday afternoon.
We have just returned back from a weekend visiting my parents in West Berkshire (and yes, of course I forgot my camera).
I always forget how much I like going back to this part of the country because all I think about is the loooong journey with two young children. We used to live and work in the area and my daughter was born close by in the neighbouring county of Hampshire. Anyway, I have lots of happy memories of our time there and, although it was a flying visit this time around, I always enjoy the change of scenery.
The car boot was inevitably fuller on the return journey, I did manage a few charity shops!
Another blanket, unfortunately not my favorite Witney but v. good Merino wool and I think it is kingsize!
In washer as we speak
and some new pots (have no idea where to put them, the dresser is starting to look overloaded, even in my eyes)
My tin collection has another new friend (just couldn't resist and it is useful as well)
Anyway, home again, Grandma has done homework and hairwashing so all that remains to be done are a few washer loads, a quick tea and sort out uniforms and bags for the last week at school before half term. Then I can start on the final bit of my year long blanket (that is one good thing about long car journeys, the blanket is now fully joined), and flick through the new 'Joules Early Spring Catazine' (their words not mine!)
Its starting to look more blankety, I can even fold it up!
Love these wellies - shame about the price, won't be getting them in a hurry.
see you soon, enjoy the last of your weekend.

ps. thank you to follower number two! this gets even more addictive when someone is reading, and thanks for the lovely comments people have left (can't believe I can finally say that, I have comments!!!! Wowee)
pps. just thought I would let you know that blog header photo shows some of my inherited collection of sewing goods from my Grandma. These beautiful items came in the chest I inherited and I will show you very soon!
