Snow and other things!




This is a little belated as I have just found the cable that does the magic!

The above pictures are from a few weeks ago when we had snow - Daisy loved the snow and threw her self downhill on a tea-tray about 20 times! Her big brother was the same, her baby brother slept through the whole experience!

The dog was a bit confused by it all! But it made my un-gardened garden look lovely!

And I am still knitting Daisy's cardi and making a little green needle cord and white broiderie anglaise dress for her.

Hard Work

Today i am still suffering from a lack of cable to do downloading which is really really rubbish. Hopefully it will turn up soon. I am also feeling quite tired as the youngest two of the tribe have decided they never want to sleep an entire night again! This is not ideal.

I am therefore running on about 3 hours sleep and caffeine alone! It wouldn't be an issue if I wasn't quite so busy - when I'm not being mum to 3 and wife to 1 (who is lovely) then I am either at the day job - three days a week answering a phone and dealing with patients in an NHS dental surgery - or currently finishing my ballet qualifications.

 I am loving the dancing but where I used to be lithe and fit and bendy I am struggling to make my body what I tell it to!! The theory work that is involved is stressful too, there is only so much you can revise and it's guaranteed that work you plan and remember won't be what you are asked!!

We shall see! No further forward on the cardi front sadly - but once I have gone and tidied up in a minute and the kids are all asleep I shall consider some knitting!!

Life.

I haven't posted for a while as life got in the way and I can't find my dinky cable that magically transports the photos from the camera to the computer. I was going to regale you with D and T's first sight of snow, and how the cardi I am knitting is coming along - almost 2 fronts now!                

 I have been very busy with ballet teacher training and getting to as many classes as I can and working too, the snow did nothing to help - my commute of 10 minutes door to door by bus turned in to 1hr and 16mins!

When I finally find my cable I will post some photos of the kids in the snow - D coming down a hill on a tea tray when her big bro's best friend wouldn't!

So for now you'll have to put up with him in doors wearing a reversible neon fake fur satchel I made many years ago!!!
