Dammit, I’m so far behind and I’ve got photos of things to take as well. In fact, I’m so far behind that I might need my friends to remind me where I’ve been or I’ll forget what I’ve forgotten. Amelie & Fran’s comp. Fran’s comp. Maddy’s TKD successes. Josie’s wobble Josie’s birthday and party....

Keeping Busy Craftily
A side effect of this week being busier was that I got less knitting done, but I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved through the week overall. I managed two squares last week but only one this week, the red, orange and yellow one. Annoyed by my failure with tension down the middle of it...

Creative every day
We’ve had a really tough week, more disappointment for us and other people I care about, difficult stuff at work and a week of the younger three girls playing SCBU and Labour Ward games with PlayMobil. They’ve been clearly testing me, checking to see how well I cope with their subject matter and it...

Pleased so far :)
First, the obligatory pox pic Not too bad, not ill at all and tonight is night 3, so hopefully over the worst. It’s nearly at her ankles and wrists now, so hopefully the worst is over. Amazing the way it spreads like that! I’ve done my piece of art to submit (it’s on flickr,...
