Ahhh-choo!


It's a bit dusty around here...!

Life has been pretty hectic over the last few months. Among other things, I've gone back to work two mornings a week, which is long enough to feel like I'm staying in touch with the job I've been trained for, but short enough that I don't feel like I'm missing too much of the girls growing up.

And they are definitely growing up. The smallest turned one a couple of weeks ago! Time really does fly past without being noticed, especially when kids are small and each day can seem like an eternity. There is good sense in taking a moment to STOP, and mark these milestones properly.

Liquorice Allsorts and Raspberry Bullets are rather useful cake decorating luxuries!

And even though I haven't been particularly successful in recording it, I've been making stuff fairly enthusiastically. Recently I've been working on...

...A stripey beanie for a friend's six month old...

...The beginnings of my first knitted lace shawl...

Hopefully I will be back before long with further evidence of my productivity!

Fancy cake. Love it!

I've missed you in these parts - but so easy to understand how it happens. Life can be so jam packed at times that something just has to give. So glad that it is blogging and not making. Always best to keep the making for your own inner peace when you're caring for others.

Good to "see" you again... 'till next time take care!

1. Oh. My baby turns one in just over a month, I've been stressing about the cake... and your 1 just hit me as perfect! Thanks for the inspiration!
(and I love the colour of your shawl too!)
