Curly tales

I was chatting with a friend today about how my two older girls used to have really curly hair and I thought I'd pop a photo or two up to show her. You wouldn't know it now though, every since we moved to Tassie it's dropped and become really straight like mine, the lack of humidity maybe? Either way it was cute :)

Sneak preview....

I've been working on a little pattern of my own for a while now and here's a small sneak preview. I've finally finished tweaking the pattern and it's ready to be written up, edited (thanks to my brillant hubby) and tested. I'm rather excited about it all!! (it's not clothing by the way, I'm not that crazy!)It will be available on www.autumnthreads.com.au as a PDF pattern as soon as I can get organised!

 

Waiting for the bus

 
Busy busy day today, parent help in the morning, more family history work at lunch and then out to a friends house for a playdate. Hannah and Becky have been begging me to let them catch the bus so we arranged it that I would be out county way today so they could catch the bus out there and I would meet them......knowing my luck it poured with rain the few minutes before the bus arrived and then cleared up once we got back inside! Thanks patient friend for being willing to wait in the rain with me to humour my school girls. It was fun anyway....even if Mary wouldn't share her umbrella with me ;)

New Pj's

Thanks to a lovely friend of ours and her young daughter who decided she didn't like the non-slip feet on the new PJ's her mum made her, Mary now has a wonderfully warm pair of Pj's that she adores :) This friend or mine has two gorgeous daughters and she sews such cute little outfits for them!

It was a hoot trying to get a still shot as she was running around like a mad thing!

 

Family game time

We had a ball playing some games together this afternoon, Pictionary then Charades. Charades was a really hoot....Daddies interpretation of a laptop computer was fantastic and Mummy took the cake with her life cycle of a frog. My personal favourite was Marys drawings during Pictionary. She has really come ahead in leaps and bounds lately and just loves to draw. Here is her picture for "bed"

Brrrr...

Here's what we found in our bird bath this morning. It was rather *ahem* brisk weather this morning. We've been walking to school some days this week as it's quicker than trying to chip the ice off the windows :P

                                                

Somewhere over the rainbow

The view from over my back fence.....why would you live anywhere else?
