Around here

My garden is growing wildThe view from the bathroom window, the kiwi fruit vine taking over the garage

Broken mower

resulting in out of control grass

and probably way too much crochet happening. This is the first item of clothing I have ever made and am pleased how it turned out. I now have an order from miss 11, and 3 teddy / doll ones to match

January 2011 school holidays

We made stars from toilet rolls Had lots of rain, no floods at home though had a few nice days for swimming and a slow start on the pool deck (behind pool) lots of kids crafts, especially outside messy ones flower girl bouquetsHave also done lots of gardening, driving kids around, school shopping, lazing about and crochet. This is the last week of the holidays, I hope the weather is kind.
