Good things and slight craziness = A bitsa post

Its my birthday soon, and it was decided that I wanted a new camera. Now due to lack of funds I had assumed this was going to be put of till August(!), thanks to Kmart’s 40% off digital cameras and lay-buy I have one on lay-buy and thanks to OT I should have it in my hot Lil hands soon. I’mso excited. ( I’m also very excited about some purple type uggish boots I have picked out for mothers day – very “warm” for lack of a better word. There is nothing like a bit ofdagginess in your life!)

Mum and Pip are off to France come August. Excited but sad too, I will miss you mum, even if you drive me batty sometimes!

I have taught my self some  entrelac knitting , very proud of my self, it looks darn impressive!! Even if i did have to rescue it from Tyler when he tried to help ( knitting needles found in the hall, minus knitting which was located in the bedroom. Rotten child!

And for slight craziness, I have decided I want to make cheese. So books on reserve list at library and website searching is underway. I’m thinking of starting with mozzarella

 

Baby Love

A wonderful friend of mine is having a baby ( yes I’m totally jealous, but after 17 months am beginning to accept reality). We met on the train, when pregnant with our first children ( now almost 9!), and then when we bumped into each other at our hospital appointments it was on. This will be her second baby, and her husbands first. As these are people who will appreciate any handmade stuff I do for the bubs, I’m letting my self plan like crazy.

I’m thinking
