How can it be June?

Another month has rolled round, I think its really is true that time goes faster the older you get!  So what have we been up to since last we met?

Well knitting of course.  I made another shawl, couldn't decide on a pattern, so just used bits from several.  I had started out to make a Holden shawl, but used the wrong sized needles,  rather than rip it back I ploughed on making this.  It needs blocking, but we have viewers this weekend.  The house, is still on the market, we currently have 2 offers from people that need to sell (so frustrating), though had 2 viewers yesterday and 1 today, all of which are sold, so fingers crossed this is the last weekend of staying tidy!!

Elderflower time, 2 batches of cordial on the go, just love the smell

Foxglove time too and the iris is looking lovely.  One great patch has come up blind again this year, not sure why, a shame as they are usually beautiful

We are seeing a lot of this little man now his mummy is back at work.  He is nearly walking, such a happy little boy, who turned 1 on 11 May, time really does fly.

Granny I'm not sure which hat to wear!

Today we are off to Ickworth Wool Fair, held at the National Trust property Ickworth House near Bury St Edmunds. We plan to take a look round Bury first - they have a good Saturday market.  I'll be sure to share any purchases.  Have a great weekend

Knitting - do you think he liked it?

I made this

for this little one

and got this response

Knitting - WIP Wednesday

Good morning, hope all is well in your world today.  We have grey skies and drizzle right now, perfect weather for knitting as there is no guilt about being outside and doing the garden.  However, the house needs some attention!  Oh well you know what they say "dust if you must" I love this poem

I have two WIPs on the go at the moment.  A cardigan for Jess

and a hat for Angus

Whilst talking about Angus, who is 1 week old today, here is a cute photo I took on Monday, all snugged up in some Granny's knits.  Adorable or what?

Introducing........

Angus Henry, who arrived this morning at 3:09am just a few hours over his due day.  Nice timing young man at least you didn't keep us waiting. Everyone is doing well and Jess is pretty chuffed with her new brother.

A little bird told me.........

That was the title of Rufus' nursery school nativity play yesterday afternoon.  I was happy to attend and be able to take some photographs of my sheep suit in action.  I managed to take quite a few photos, but can't really share the ones that include the other children, and the ones here that include others are luckily not in focus. There is a DVD following so Pops and Aunty Rachel (who couldn't attend can watch).  Enjoy..........

he spotted me!

shame his hat is on back to front

saying his line into the microphone

looking angelic, as his aunt said "a minx in sheeps clothing!"

Fun Friday

My day started early with phone calls back and forth regards the weather.  Son in law in fear that I wouldn't go and collect Rufus offered to bring him down early for his weekend visit.  Our day commenced at 7:50am, we have had such a fun day.

A bit of baking

Building with Duplo, lunch, nap, park.

Then Pops came home and play commenced, how much fun can 2 boys have with a couple of boxes

Bath time has been and gone, they are still playing, sorry Mummy Jones, I can't stop them.  I wish you could see your father now!!!!  I just got told to go away or the cars would run me over.

He's here till Sunday, not sure if hubby will be able to move by then, so watch this space for more action
