Arh...its already 2011

Where has the time gone! Its already nearing the middle of the fourth month, and has it been busy!

Grant is now 9months old, Miles is in grade 1 and William is 2 and finally starting to talk. Winter is approaching fast with the weather turning nasty with only a days notice. I think it is time to start knitting and crocheting some items to keep the cool weather at bay or atleast look good for this winter.

Some items I have planned are beanies, scarves, socks and shawls, maybe a cardigan or jumper too. I have the yarn, just got to widdle down the patterns and start work on them.

Slytherin came in last this term...so next term I am going to have to work harder and hope that we come in first again. So, I must do an OWL or two. I have a few things in mind, so it will be interesting to see, if I am able to push myself to completing them in 3months.

Photos of items I have finished can be seen on my ravelry page or in my flickr account.

well time to be creative...I am thinking about designing a knitting pattern, so must work out a bit about knitting and if it is possible to make up. (^_^) Wish me luck!

Oh, we also added 2 dogs to our family as well, they are rescue dogs from the local pound, and are lovely, (the Jack Russell, is a bit of a trouble maker, but hopefully he will grow out of it!)

knitting, knitting, and kids

Well classes have restarted for at HPKCHC and I'm loving it. Not sure what quest I am doing, as I am planning on doing a bit of knitting this time around. I have been working on some legwarmers for the baby. I have one finished and have gotten about halfway through the second one before Willy accidentally broke two of my 4mm dpns. I am planning on still continuing with the warmers and with the broken needles. I am using the longest pieces to complete the legwarmers.
The pattern has really been testing me with the ribbing. But this second pair I am happy with how it has turned out. I have managed to do a 2x2 rib on the warmers. I think I am going to attempt either a beanie or mittens, as it has gotten cold over here. The wood fire has been lit and the room is nice and warm, but not sweltering hot.
At the moment, William is dealing with a bad case of nappy rash, poor things rear is bright red and looking mighty angry. Hopefully, free time and a bit of sun will fix up this little problem.
Miles is doing well at school. He is doing really well with his writing and reading, as well as painting and drawing. We are so happy that he is enjoying school so much.

its cold outside baby

The temp has dropped so much. It was just above freezing this morning. So I have better work faster on my crocheting and knitting.

What Im working on...

I have started a knitted fingerless mitten for Miles, I am up to the part in the pattern where I have to do FBF (Front Back Front) knit, I find this a bit confusing, but will give it a go. I hope to have it finished sometime soon.

I also have started a little tank top for Willy, I started working on it a few days ago, and hopefully I will be able to get this finished sometime in the next week.

Projects that have gone by the side are a scarf for my father. I will work on it soon.

Projects that I want to complete in the coming months:

• doily cal
• knitted beanie
• crocheted beanie/hats
• socks
• Mystery cal
• dishcloths
• tawashis
• bookmarks
• squares
• Secret Pal
  

I think I have most of this covered.

On the first of May, HPKCHC starts, so I am sure that I will be able to do a few of those projects within the classes that will be offered.

Miles finally learnt to eat with chopsticks...he is so proud of himself!

Willy is proud of himself too, he has his toes and a full tummy!

the rain has finally come...kind of

For the past couple of days, we have had a steady downpour of rain. No thunderstorm or lightening, just rain. The ground is soaked and my chokoes are growing like mad! We picked a few and they were over a kilogram in weight for about 3 of them. At the stores they are selling between $A5-9 per kilo. Im sitting on a gold mine then...lol but I have been giving them away to whoever wants some. I havent even gone through the whole lot of choko plants to see how many I have there. But I have been using them in my cooking, and they are great soup fillers too. It has been getting cold here, so soup will soon be on the dinner menu.

Crocheting and knitting
Having participated in the HPKCHC or House Cup for the last 3 months, I have been kind of busy. April is the rest period before the next round of classes start in May. I am looking forward to it, and hoping to be back in Slytherin house. I have been practicing my knitting and it has been a lot of fun. I have managed to try my hand at lace knitting, and made a few interesting little projects. If you want to play and crank out a few projects come and join in the fun. Just become a member of Ravelry and then click onto join HPKCHC and then choose your teams. Sorting out of teams will happen at the end of the month, and then the games start in May.

UNO
Miles has discovered the game of UNO! He loves it, I brought it cos I have been playing it online and it looked so easy, and now every time William is sleeping, Miles wants to play it. It can be fun, but sometimes, he just drives us crazy with wanting to play it, he doesnt like to loose, just win. lol

lace knitting update

i am finally onto my second repeat of the lace pattern. Finally!!! After about 3 frogs of the knitting, I am happy to see that I am finally getting a hang of the knitting. I am enjoying it, but I dont know if I would want to make it too long, but I will see how I go for a bit before deciding on the size of the lace knitting. So far it is about 5cm long!

Frogged and Frustrated

How do I end up with an extra stitch on my needle when I have been so good with keeping count?? That is the delima that happened last night. I was coming to the end of row 9 when low and behold I had an extra stitch that cannot be accounted for...So I FROGGED the whole damn thing. I started casting on again last night, but was interrupted by William crying and after I got him to bed, I was just too tired to continue on. My fingers are crossed that I can get it started again today after I get Miles to kindy and William fed and napping. I just find it frustating that I keep getting my purl stitching messed up, BUT (and that is a big BUT) that I might have it licked for my thirdish attempt at the scarf.

(BTW it is getting really cold here, so I have a feeling that it is going to be a very cold winter this year!)

Updates

Well I started reading the Twilight series, already finished book one, and am about halfway through book 2. Interesting so far, but sometimes a little repetitive, but I can live with that.

Also, I am knitting. I am doing the Branching Out scarf. I am having a little trouble with the purl stitch, can you believe that I do it two ways and then get fussed. I will have to work out which one is suitable so I wont have to keep racking my brain as to what I am doing. I think I am doing the other stitches correctly, so I guess the proof will come in at the end of it.

I also have to start on a crocheted scarf for my father, as he is heading to Tasmania to be part of a painting event. The Mural Fest, if you go down the page, you will find my father's name listed there with his brother, Malcolm and Kerry Nicholson. So it looks like I have about 3 weeks to get it finished for him...lol

Both Mum and Jumpei are doing things for the Warwick Peace Festival, mum with her sculptors and pottery, and Jumpei with his music. Jumpei will play 4 gigs with Sunrise Road. I seem to be the only one not doing anything festive!

William, at 6 months, stood up for the first time and has been standing and practicing a few steps. I have a feeling that he is going to be walking in another month or so. At the moment he is almost 7 months! We are very excited about this, but it has made us close the lounge room door, as William now moves about so much.

Miles is being Miles, a little naughty at times, but he is still into Ben 10 and is loving it a lot. He watches it whenever he can.

So that is it. I am off to the movies with some other mothers and we are going to watch, He's Just Not That Interested in You. I hope it is good.

Doctors tomorrow, as William has something wrong with his big toes, I think it might be a fungal infestion, but I want to be certain. I do hope it isnt anything serious.

Horrible, just horrible...

Got a phone call about my car and I am now looking at somewhere about $3173 to get it fixed. I just cant believe that when I took her in there that there was so much wrong with her apart from a cracked head. I am rather annoyed that my other mechanic didnt pick up on these problems when I had her in his garage (all those 10 or so times). I have to seriously think about this, as it is a big thing. I like my car, she works like I want her to, serves her purpose, and has plenty of room for shopping and taking everyone from A to B. Hubby says fix it! I want to fix it! but it is an awful lot to pay for a car to get fixed.

BUT TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
I came across this pattern called Fish Hat it looks like fun and I so want to make some. They would be so cool (and different) to wear. I think I like them dead!
I am still working on my crochet homework for HPKCHC for my Arithmancy class. I am almost finished. Miles has already claimed it, too.

Tis the silly season...

Well, December has finally arrived! Got to do shopping and wrap presents and start working out what I am going to cook for Christmas day. Since we are not going to go anywhere this year, we are just planning on a quiet day at home and drama free.
I shall call this christmas a Bullshit free Christmas! I dont have to listen to bullshit from people! Horray!!!
William is on the verge of crawling...he is going really well for 3.5 month old. Miles is so into Ben 10 these days, that is all he ever wants to watch.
Well I havent begin gdoing much with crocheting or knitting. Just dont have the stamina at the moment. So tired.
I am planning on trying my hand at lace knitting, but I think I should practice some more on just simple knit and purl first before starting on something that looks so complicated.
I am also thinking about tackling some of my projects that I have in my ravelry queue. I have a few bags in there and I have a few squares as well. I dont think I will start on the wearables just yet.

computer died and now it is back to life

Computer
What a shock it was when I finally woke up on Saturday, after Jumpei took William from me so I could gave a few more hours of sleep. Only to wake up to the computer not working. It just wouldnt start. I had been meaning to take it in to get a new hard drive installed, as the old one I was sure was on it's last leg, and just surviving our day to day use of it. But this fateful Saturday, it kicked the can and wouldnt go no more. So during the week, I took it into Warwick to the computer shop I took it to once before, and got it fixed for A$209. The only problem now is that everything looks so big on the screen, and I cannot seem to get everything to look the same again. I dont know why it must look so big, but it does. Hopefully, over the coming weeks, it will work itself into a fit and look like it used to. Fingers crossed!!!

Fitness
Well, I have been to the gym and will have my new program organised for me, so I can start getting fit on Monday. I have decided that this year (what is left of it) will be the year that I do something about these extra kilograms that I have hugging my body. I still havent worked out what size I want to go down to, but I dont want to be ultra skinny, as I just dont like the look that much. It is going to be fun, to start loosing a bit, and going shopping to get new clothes (something that I dont do very often, I seem to wear the clothes out before getting new ones). My plan for the gym is to go there 3-4 times a week and build up from a 30 minute workout to an hour long one, hopefully with the co-opperation of William, as he is coming along to the gym with me.

William
The poor little fella is sufferring from wind. It seems to be in his bowels and gives him bad pain and gas. I have to keep burping him and rubbing him to try and get some of that out. He loves his milk, so I am sure that he is getting close to 4kgs, I will find out on the 18th how heavy he is. It is going to be fun to see him grow. Miles really loves him a lot, and wants to hold him and touch him. Jumpei is still over the moon that he has another son. Nothing seems to be able to wipe the smile off his face about his 2 sons.

Crochet/knitting
I havent really had time to do any of them, as William seems to keep me busy with feeding and changing and cuddling him. Today, I have him in a baby carrier and so far he seems to like it. But I have a bit of work to do before I can go and pick up either a hook or a pair of needles to make something. I do hope to be able to start soon and make a few items.

No time to crochet or knit

Since having William at home, i just havent had time to crochet nor knit. Not because William wants attention or feeding all day long, but because he sleeps all day long and I take this time to clean and do housework, and then at night, he wakes up and wants more feeding and more time. Sometimes I get so grumpy if I dont get any sleep during the day or at night. So poor Jumpei has to put up with me being a grumpy-bum. Poor Miles, just wants to hold William all the time, and it is just hard telling him he cant do it when he wants. We have a routine now, that whenever Miles sees me sitting with William, he will ask me if he can hold him, but only if he moves further into the couch. He gets to hold him for a few minutes. I think that William likes it too, as he looks at Miles and likes it when Miles touches him.
Tonight, Jumpei has taken Miles to bed early, so he gave William a kiss goodnight and gave me one too before running off to bed. I am sure that by 9pm, he should be asleep, snoring away and even talking in his sleep. It is very funny sometimes the things that Miles will say in sleep. I think most of it relates to his day at kindy, as there is sometimes a mention of a sandpit, a ball, and other things that he plays with at kindy. It is very funny sometimes, if you are awake, he sometimes sits up in his sleep and then says something, then lays down and starts snoring.
Well, I am thinking about staying up tonight to watch NCIS, but I think the better choice would be to head to bed and grab a few winks of sleep before getting up for William. It is still 50/50, but I really should be smart about it and head off to bed.
I will want to do a bit of crocheting too. I want to make the magic potholder. But I might do that later on in the week, after a bit of sleep.
Today, I spent most of the day cleaning out my room and destashing some of my clothes. I have got to destash some of my books, especially if I am not going to read them (again or ever). I did remove a lot of books a few months ago, but I still have a lot of books. I am trying to work out what to do with the books I brought at university. Should I keep them or sell them or give them away? I really have no idea what to do with them. I might end up putting them in my storage room until I can finally work out what to do with them. I really do love those books. The other books that I have are novels. I am keeping my Harry Potter series, Sherlock Holmes series, Mrs Marple series, but the others I think that I can live without.
Also heard today in the news that there is going to be a Sherlock Holmes movie in the "talk" stages. The funny thing is, that the other day (yesterday perhaps or was it Sunday?) but I was thinking that with all the remakes of the superhero movies and other movies, that Sherlock Holmes wasnt being touched. I have a few of the old movies with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, so it is interesting that they choose Robert Downey Jr. to play the part, but the thing is I can see him in the role of Holmes. He has that look about him, although different from Rathbone, but still a look of Holmes all the same. I am going to have to say that I am going to have to go to the cinema's to watch the movie. Although, Alan Rickman in the role of Sherlock Holmes wouldnt be too bad either. Another dimension of sexiness indeed, Watson.
A quick movie list of movies that I want to see in the cinema:
* Bottle Shock
* Sherlock Holmes
* Harry Potter

Sunny one day, overcast the next

Yesterday, even with all the dramas at the hospital, it was a lovely sunny day. It got me thinking that today, I would do my laundry and hang it out to dry. But alas, the weather has changed yet again, from about 8pm last night, it was windy and cold, and this morning is no difference. It is overcast, no sun even peaking out of the clouds, so the laundry can stay where it is until tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be nice tomorrow when I have to be up at the hospital again.
I just hope it is a nice day later on, but it already 11am and still no change from this morning. It still feels like 7am. The only good thing that could come out of it, would be if it started raining, so I wouldnt have to go outside to water my cherry flower tree. I got Jumpei to plant it for me where I want to make my Japanese style garden. All I have to do is get motivated and start doing my gardens. I am extremely lazy, I can work everything out and have a plan but the excution of the plan is where I come undone, I just dont do it. But this time, I am going to make my little garden for relaxation and for somewhere nice to sit down and relax. I am sure that Jumpei will help me out if I keep buying and getting plants. I am going to get the front garden done too, and might get dad to drive me out to Gatton to pick up some plants from the big nursery out there. Instant garden!
Well, I have already started dinner for tonight. Some chicken drumsticks marinated in my special sauce, and chicken marylands done in cashew nuts, cracked pepper and olive oil. They are cooking at the moment, so I will have time later to make up some vegetables and possibly a soup if this weather is still overcast and miserable. Might even make a few breadrolls later too. But it depends on how tired I get from this "relaxing" that I am supposed to be doing.

Crochet and knitting
Might end up doing a bit more crocheting and knitting today as well. I am still working on a few items, like my Seraphina's shawl. I finished off a couple of dishcloths, and a set of coasters for my exchange partners. I will end up taking some photos of them to add to my projects page on ravelry. It is great to see how many items and projects I can finish, and I must say, I do feel proud that I am able to get so much done. I really have to start using up my stash of yarn, as I am sure hubby is getting a little peeved that they are taking up the front room, and I need that front room for when my inlaws come. So I have got to get a bit done. Thankfully, I have Miles, and he is asking me for some projects like, last night he wanted me to make him another starghan. I might end up making his one later by adding some more different colours to them, as he loves his blanket and his elmo blanket that I made for him when he was little. But first I want to get a few more projects out of the way and then I will work on some more things for him and his brother when he arrives.

Seraphina's Shawl

I am working on my shawl now that I have a bit of down time. I am just about finished with the ball of yarn that I am using, and have the next on hand. I just dont know how big a shawl should really be. It fits nicely on my shoulders, but I think I might end up using the rest of ball #3 and #4 and see what size it is from there. If need be, I can then use the last ball of this yarn that I have for the shawl if needed, or I can make a little bag with it to go with the shawl. Either way, #5 is going to be used for something!

My other projects, include:

• dishcloths,
• tawashis,
• a lot of WIMs
• knitted squares.
  

Updates...on everything

Since it has been a while since I have posted anything here, I will do a quick rundown of what is happening.

Pregnancy
I am now 37 weeks along. So that means "anytime now"!! Tomorrow, I go for a check up, so that should be fun. All seems to be normal, his position is correct, he is getting bigger, as I have been able to eat a bit more! Finally, I can eat a hamburger and not rely on Jumpei to finish it off for me. Normally, I can only eat a few bites and then I am full, now I can eat the whole lot! Happy for me, sad for Jumpei.
I have the car packed, with the baby seat in place, baby clothes, and a bag for me, which is half packed. I really dont know what I am going to wear for the birthing, I cannot remember what I wore last time. Need to pack my pjs in too, but I dont know if I will stay overnight, or just the day, or even a few days. I dont think that I would stay a long time in hospital, as I dont know how Miles would take that, so the shortest possible time is what I am planning.

Crochet
I am trying to get my Seraphina's Shawl finished before the baby arrives. It would be nice to have it completed and in use for when I am breastfeeding. I have just started on my 3rd ball of yarn for this project. It is coming along nicely. I have been thinking what it would look like if I had some homespun or some bulky yarn, it would be a nice warm shawl for sure.
Also, working on the Origami Turkish Socks, as part of a CAL on crochetsocks. I am making them for Miles in red heart yarn. So far they look good and interesting. I just hope that they fit his feet when I am finished. I am sure that I did do the measurements correctly. If not, they will fit the baby when his feet grow bigger.

Knitting
Still working on my squares for my knit-ghan. So far, I have finished all the leftover yarn in Pink Camo, that I received as a RAK. I have casted on some more leftovers, so it is coming along nicely. Once I have a few more made, I will take a photo. I dont know what arrangement I will make with them, but most likely "random" will be the theme for this knit-ghan.
I also have a tawashi on another set of needles, next to my bed, but I havent had a lot of time to work on that one.

Health
Miles is getting over a case of Pink-eye! That is so horrible!!! Nothing like what they showed on South Park! But it is clearing up now, so he can go back to Kindy tomorrow. Hopefully, he wont get it again.
Jumpei has a case of the flu and Tonsilitis.
Me, just a really sore throat and stuffy head, but I really cant take anything for it, apart from lemon and honey drinks and maybe a panadol, but I think that Jumpei just had the last one.

One sick boy and a Happy Mother!!!

Miles isnt too happy. He has the flu or something, and has a tummy ache, runny nose and a watery eye. Not a pretty sight, but he is smiling and wanting lots of cuddles.
He is very pleased that I am knitting Morris, his teddy bear, a blanket. I have moved on from the green yarn to the grey. I got Miles to grab me the next ball, and he collected the grey one, and it looks good against the green. I hope to get a bit more of it finished tonight, and maybe a photo or two of what I am doing taken tomorrow.

RAKs and Secret Pal
I received a few RAKs and a Secret Pal this week.
RAKs - finally received a few stitch markers, they are so beautiful and cant wait to try them out on my next projects. I really need to learn how to make them. I also received a square, a magnet, 2 balls of sugar n cream!
My Secret Pal from CrochetX sent me a lovely gift. Tomorrow, when I am taking some photos, I am going to show you what she sent me. She has done some beautiful work and I love them very much!!!

Morris needs a blanket

I have been told by Miles that Morris needs a blanket. Who is Morris? It is Miles' teddy bear. He loves this little bear, and takes him most days to kindy and to bed as well. So yesterday as I was knitting another square for my knitted block afghan, Miles told me that Morris needs a blanket.
Miles and I went stash diving and we got a few odd balls of yarn to do his blanket. I have no idea how many stitches I have casted on, but I think it would be sufficient enough to give Morris a good covering when Miles tucks him in.
I got Miles to choose the colours from my stash of odd balls, and he is very happy with the colours he has. He choose green, grey, and a few others.
I am happy that he likes my crafts and is showing great interest in both learning and adding projects to my every growing list.
Maybe someday soon, I will be able to teach him to both knit and crochet. He did try both knitting and crocheting, but he just couldnt get the hang of it. But the interest is still there. (^_^)

New project for the long term

I have decided to start a new project, a Knitted block afghan for the lounge room. I am going to make squares and join them together. I have CO30 for the first square, and I like the size of it so far, so I think I will be keeping to that size. I have no idea how many squares I will need, but I will see as I go along. I am not sure if it will be a square afghan or a rectangle one, to suit the futon lounge, but I am sure that it will be nice and warm!
For this project, i am going to be using scrap balls of yarn and any odd balls that I have, as it is for the house and for us, it doesnt need to look uniform or fancy, just something to keep us warm in the horrible winter weather we have out here.
So I am currently on my first square, up to row 7 now!

Let it rain!!!

The sky has finally opened up and it is pouring with rain!!!! It is also a bit cool too. But I dont care, we are getting some rain!!!
I am contemplating to go and collect Miles from Kindy now, or wait until the rain eases. I will probably go in about 20 minutes to collect him, but it is very wet outside.
Hubby, still isnt home from work. I dont know if it is heavy rain at Warwick, hopefully not too heavy. If there is a flash flood, then the road that he uses to come home will be cut off and he will have to drive the long way home.

Postie delievered a RAK today to me. It was a double ended crochet hook. The first time I have seen one like it. I cant wait to start a project with it, it is so long and red and screaming to be used. But I must show some restraint before I start another project.

I did a bit of cleaning out today and threw out a lot of old clothes that I had and was not wearing that much. So hopefully that should make hubby happy that there is a little more space in the closet now. I am really wanting to declutter my stuff down, so I feel that every bit removed will be greatly appreciated by my hubby.

With all the crocheting and now knitting that I am doing, I am sure that I will be filling up my place with handmade items, made by me. I really want to get into making some of my own clothes. I don't care about fashion, but just what feels good on me. I am currently looking at Simply Knitting magazine, May Issue 41, and I am really loving the look of the Fifties Glamour top ,"Cool & Classic" on pages 40-43. I dont know if I like the off the shoulder look, but I do love the design of the top. I could make the neckline shorter...but now I am just getting a little carried away with myself at this point. I will have to do a few more knitting projects before jumping head first into clothing for myself.

Well I better go and collect Miles from Kindy.

Secret Mission - Starghan

I have decided to make Miles a Starghan. He loves bright colours and a particular orange that I have. So I have started on the orange yarn for the inside of the starghan. I will work out what other colours to add to it, when I get there. So far this morning, I have completed 5.5 rounds! It is lookin good so far. If I have time tonight, I will work on it too, and Hopefully have it all finished for him by tomorrow, when I collect him from Kindy.

I am hoping to make a few more of these ones once I have finished, as I want to make one of Almaaz (my cousin's son) and one for the new baby (William). I might end up making a few smaller ones for Miles to play with his teddies and other stuffed animals, and maybe a couple for the car. This all depends on how many and how long it takes me to loose interest in making them, and how much time I have to do them.

I cannot help but to keep adding to my list of projects that I want to do. The month of June has been a busy month for me, craftwise, as I have learnt to knit, and completed a few knit projects and crochet projects. I have to get blocking soon, but I hate it so much. I will go and do the blocking on the weekend, as I have a very large box that would be suitable for blocking the lace wrap I have finished, and I will get Jumpei to help me if I need to get it cut or anything like that.

Wow the town emergency siren is sounding!!!! There must be another accident somewhere around here, so I am sure that the police, ambulance and the local firebrigade will be heading out somewhere. Boy oh boy it has been a busy 2 weeks for emergency services around here.

A sick little boy

This morning was very interesting. I got Miles ready to go to kindy, as he wanted to go, and I just wasnt too sure that he would be able to do a whole day there, as he has a nasty cough. But he was insistant that he wanted to go. So off we go to kindy...the all 2 minute walk there. He went straight to the toys after putting his bag and hat away. I stayed for a while, about a good 30 minutes, helping him and the other children, before Miles said I could go home.
So I am at home, enjoying the quiet time, and looking at the yarn that I just got in the mail from DoodleDuck at Ravelry, and thinking what to make with it, when I hear my mobile phone going off. By the time I remember which button to press, since it has been so long since my mobile has rang, and the fact that one button is red and the other is green, I was too late to answer it. But thankfully I have caller ID so I knew it was the kindy. I called them and was told that Miles is very upset and getting upset by the minute and breathing funny. They had tired everything, but he just wasnt a happy boy.
So I went and collected him from there, and boy was he upset. He didnt want to look at the other children or the teachers. He just wanted to go home. We walked back home, and he climbed onto the futon and laid down and went off to sleep for about an hour. I didnt like the way he was breathing and knew it was time to go and get the Nebulizer. So I had to wait until he woke up and mum arrived, as she had called just before Kindy to tell me she was coming over.
When we got home, I placed him on the machine, and it made a dramatic difference in him.
Now he is just sitting down watching television, watching Big Brother, he is being very quiet. He hasnt touched his dinner, but he has been eating during the day, and quite a bit, too. I know it wont last to much longer, as he needs to be cuddled, and cuddled a lot, poor little fella.

Crocheting and knitting
I am working on 2 things at the moment, the lace wrap and now a colourful scarf/muffler for Miles with one ball of the yarn that was gifted to me. Miles really loves the colours and is so happy that this is for him. (^_^)
I have a few other projects that I want to get started soon too. I want to make a little turtle or two and a few other items that I have as WIMs.
