A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.  






I emptied the rain water out of the clam shell.  Made a really pig puddly in the dip in the lawn.  Told them there was a really good puddle to jump in.  
They did!

A Mystery

I have been sitting around doing a little bit of stuff still in my weeks.  

I decided some time back to join this Mystery Afghan crochet along.  I prefer "Blanket" to afghan so I am doing a mystery blanket!  

Every couple of weeks on Ravelry the people doing this one get emailed an update for the next clues.  They are nearly finished I think but I was late getting round to starting.  So it's a bunch of clues telling us what to make for the pattern & that's it.  We don't know how it will end up yet.  

I used 4 colours that I had sitting in the cupboard that I wanted to use up.  Mind you, of course I am running out & need to get another ball of some colours!  

So here it is...

Clue 1A  (the centre part in mauve)
& Clue 4B (Adding the grey & the mauve points)
(had to skip a few clues as the grey is still attached waiting for the next clue for that one so moved on to some that I could do)


Clue 4C


Top Clue 2A
Bottom Clue 1C


Clue 1B


So there you go.  It will be interesting to see what happens next!

A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.  





BJ - out with mum for a milkshake.  

DJ - rugged up in pjs & dressing gown quite early after playing outside & getting so icy cold, had to try to warm him up!  Not that it bothered him!  Nothing bothers him much  - just food, just not getting the food he wants is all that bothers him!

A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.





BJ - playing & building with DJ today but taking some time to work on the puzzle blocks that I made him when he was small.  It's been ages since he has done them & was concentrating on them so hard & getting annoyed.  But got there in the end.  

DJ - despite being full of a cold (again), he had a little bit of time in the fresh air, though maybe not so fresh when unloading a load of mushroom compost with Dad!  It's been so cold & rough here all week & today was crazy so needed rugging up for sure!  

Linking up with the 52 project.

A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.  





BJ - watching something interesting I guess!   My serious one

DJ - this face just says so much about this boy.   Such cheek, such mischief, everything is a joke!

More Holiday Crochet

I don't even know what to call these boring posts right now!  lol  

Some more squares. 

Love it.  Was not as difficult as it seemed.  


Really enjoyed this one too!  Not difficult & quite intriguing to work.  


I have put this one off for ages, but started it & finished in no time.  So easy & really cool!  


We had a painting time today...  well DJ did any way.  I'm not sure why he included his face.
