Pillow Time

Another party! 

Another pillow!

Grandma Lyn came to play games with the boys.  I got to whip this one up.

Exploring

One of our favourite shops re-opened this week.  It burned down 2 years ago.  They were in temporary premises until the new place was done.  Which it is now.  

So we checked out the new store!   

Starting with Alice in Wonderland's little door!  

Humpty was a hit! 














The dragon was scary!  Tall too! 

Why Stop At One?

New challenge finally...

I gave this a try today.  Two at a time socks.  It's great.  Easy as.  I don't know that I would like to try it with some fancy pattern though. 

Also stash busting left over sock yarn while I go.  I have both socks started from either end of a left over ball.  So it will be interesting to see how far up this sock this one goes. 

Stay tuned...

Lego Play

The local library put on a Lego time in the school holidays.  It was quite good.  The boys have a lot of lego themselves but it is always nice to play with some different pieces & also to play with other people. 





It can become a little competitive in that sort of environment so it was interesting to watch. 

BJ made a marble maze.  All the kids were interested in it & had a turn of it.  He liked that.

Our Rocks

A good day to spend some time colouring rocks.  DJ got into it big time.  

BJ took a little longer & put more thought into each design. 
That's him I suppose.

Admittedly, I did it too. 

Lucky for me, the boys have some learn to draw books with step by step pictures.  I used those.  I had fun. 

 They just need to be sealed now.  That will happen in a few days. 

Tas Rocks!

So the current phase in the world here is rocks.  Yep, rocks. 

Pretty decorated rocks though.  It's a new phenomenon.  The boys had some time at the park over the last couple of days & found a few fancy rocks.  It's quite fun really!  You can rehide them for others.  But the boys wanted to keep these. 

Of course they wanted to do some of their own though! 

Gift Socks

A couple of birthdays still to come before the end of the year.  This is one pair of socks off the list.

I love this yarn.  It's Opal.  I haven't used that brand before so it was nice to try a new one & the colours are pretty.  Hope the person likes them as much as I do.
