The Easter holidays were very busy and full of fun.
A Hello Kitty cake pleased a certain five (5!) year old,
as did the Hello Kitty sunglasses!
Fun was had by all.
I'm still reeling!
Will blog more when my head's stopped spinning!

A change is as good as a rest....
We are back from our family holiday.
This was not a 'put your feet up' kinda holiday.
There was swimming everyday, and lots
of walking through the beautiful Longleat woodland.
Plus two small children who decided to wake at
5.30am EVERY DAY!
But we had a great time, and I certainly feel refreshed
and ready to Spring clean and face the world again.
We also visited Bristol zoo and saw this lovely fellow
(Mr R's favourite)
This very cute little fellow (my favorite!)
And lots of beautiful butterflies (Imogen's favourite)
It is just as well I have refreshed my spirits.
Spring is the season of many birthdays in my family.
In April my little girl will be 5... I'm not too worried about
her celebrations as her knew Hello Kitty obsession
makes for an easy theme and gift solution!
Just 6 short days after her my baby will be 1!
Where has the year gone?

Ellie the Elephant
What happens when you take a photo through 'magic glasses'?
You get this very funky kaleidoscope effect!
It amused me for hours, I do love the simple things in life!
I have finished the elephant ordered by Imogen.
She has named her Ellie....so original.
This is better than naming it Imogen which is what she likes
to call most things at the moment. I cannot convince her
that variety is a good thing, especially with names.
Having various toys all called Imogen gets very confusing!
I am really enjoying crochet. I've got the hang of it now
and it's very satisfying. I think it's a lot better for toys
than knitting as the fabric is much denser. Having said that
I do have a special place in my heart for knitting!
The next thing I would like to try is squares,
if I can achieve something like this I will be very pleased.

Half Term
We've done some painting
We have marvelled at seals ( a little apprehensively at first!)
They really are a lot prettier in the water!
Little boys have got up to new tricks
Little girls have practised sewing
And Mummy has discovered where all the missing toys were.....
posted through the cat flap.
Little boys obviously learnt two new tricks!

Thanks, that was fun!
To end the most wonderful 1st swap experience was this scrumptious yarn.
I have often gazed at Manos yarn in magazines but have never come up with an excuse to treat myself, and now I don't have to.
The only dilemma now is what to knit with it!
Suggestions welcome!
On the sixth day of specialness.......
....my partner sent to me, a lovely new book!
I love craft books, even if I never make anything from them I love looking at the pictures.
They make me happy!
I am also the proud new owner of a scrumptious hot water bottle cover. The colour is a gorgeous blue and it's made in organic merino wool.
Thank you Philippa!
The list goes on.....if only you could smell this package,
the deep, rich smell of chocolate is wonderful. I think a chocolate sauce made with this would be rather wicked! Mmmmm!
