Catch up

We went to Eden for the Shaun the Sheep event and they had great fun pretending to be sheep, wellie throwing and cabbage kicking!

Edan thoughtfully considering the plight of the wellies being thrown at the farmers head.....maybe!



OK we're done just take the picture and get on with it.














I did the unthinkable and made a Barbie dress for a friends birthday gift! Fiddly fiddly things!
Busted with a liberated Hot X Bun!











The first asparagus of the season, never eaten it much before but loved it in dippy eggs and in risotto.










Boys and bluebells in the local woods












Our Beltane Beech Goddess
Aprils Full Moon is a little purplefied
Some lovely squishy fibre to spin and try some nuno felting with.
Small boy happiest in water preferably painted.


Other not so small boy happiest on a horse or riding his bike. We thought the pony was a bit on the fat side.........................
turns out she was carrying a mule, he is so very cute.


Playground shirt (pattern free on Ravelry) for K, knitted in a cotton yarn.

I have ben lovely and busy enjoying sewing scrumptious clothes, almost ready to take the leap and leave the other job.

EDIT - then there's the tale of the car, leaking fuel as much as we were burning, very grateful no one tossed a cigarette butt under the car as apparently we would have gone BANG! then the MOT took ages now at last we have it back with an MOT (but 2 tyres that need replacing asap). Oh how I missed the car, round here as soon as you are without one you are pretty much a social pariah, we couldn't get to swimming, home ed groups, couldn't go and see anyone (the boys requested we walk to St Agnes and the swimming pool lol) , the usual small stuff suddenly becomes big!
