Our Sunny Sunday

Yay, our first sunny day in weeks - no rain - and the first signs of spring are in the air, for today at least!! The girls and I spent the morning outside, soaking up the sun and spring fresh air!

Here's a sample of what we got up to....

The neglected vege patch received some TLC...

Todays' pickings....

A little outdoor lunch...

And I am so happy to have washed and dried 3 loads of washing in one day, during winter it's 1 load a day and hung indoors to dry overnight...thank goodness the sun was shining and the wind was blowing a gentle breeze....

While Miss Evie was having her nap, I planted out some seeds in preparation for spring..

And Miss Abbey put her creative skills to work and made this....

oooooh, and Miss Abbey and I baked these yummy Gingersnaps.....thanks for your recipe Meagan!!!

What a great sunny Sunday, here's hoping more sunny weather is on it's way!!!

Evie's 2nd Birthday!!

Evie Shae Matilda has turned 2! We celebrated with a family lunch, lemonade, chocolate ice cream, and a birthday cake made by Pop.......

This one is not for me!

 

I was making  This .....

I changed my mind .....

I didn't like how it was turning out,
I just was not happy with my choice of wool......needle size.....
Never mind.... it will be put back into my stash where it will wait patiently for the perfect project .......

 I am still going to make one of Leonie's Wrap Vests , I just need to find the right wool.....I might have to go shopping!!

Time for some crochet!

I have had two sick girls this past week.
Both of them have been hit with a flu that has put them out of action - we have been confined to the house and as they have had no energy most of the week has been spent laying around on the couch watching movies and wanting Mum close by.
In between nursing duties I took advantage of  having to sit with the girls and got stuck into some crochet....

It started off like this a couple of months ago and was shelved temporarily

It has grown

and now looks like this
