We’re in the grip of half term break and all things considered it’s going jolly well really. The best news of the week is that my Mum is now home from hospital. She’s still got a long recovery ahead and will have to wear the halo brace for sometime yet but at least she can now gather her strength and mend those bones in comfort!
The children have both been content to potter and although we’ve been to local parks we’re having a lazy week. My fingers have been busy though. As well as finishing off lots of toys I’ve made myself a simple moss stitch scarf. I just couldn’t resist this wool – it was love at first sight! It’s been fun to knit something on 10mm needles instead of 3mm and now I’ve switched back to toy knitting the needles feel tiny!
I’ve also been having a play with some pictures over on flickr and ordered myself a batch of moo’s new postcards.
All in all a pretty relaxing time being had by all here! Hope your week is a goodun too!

I’m glad your mom is on her way to recovery. Cute, cute, cute postcards! I’ve ordered some too. You should actually print these and sell them.

Thank you so much for your sweet mail. I was surprised that you had the energy, but very happy to hear from you…
It is nice to hear that your mother has come home. To be at home is a lot better and more relaxing ( no people running in and out! )
I still wish you both the best. Good for you that you know how to knit (so well!!) – it is helpful in many situations to keep your mind away from things for a while..
Kind regards

Great to hear the better news about your Ma. Hope the road to recovery is short and sweet. I have some of that wool too (left over from last year but have yet to make anything with it. I’m wondering if I am brave enough to try a big grown up jumper……. What do you think?

Ohhhhhh that yarn color makes me hungry for Red Velvet Cake! I’m not sure if it is a favorite here in the UK, but back home…it is glorious.
So so soooo glad to hear your Mum is back at home. Being surrounded by the comforts and smells of home sweet home will lift anyone’s mood and lend to a swift recovery.
