Helena

A sweet little baby cardigan -Helena- knit up with some left overs from Scarlett's little butterflies.

It has been a while between blog posts! since getting my ipad for Christmas I haven't been on the laptop for ages. I have tried posting to blogger from my ipad but it just isn't working for me. It is hard to believe we are nearly in May. The year seems to be flying by. It has been an eventful year so far- mini trip to Sydney back in January, 1st term of school done and dusted, new friends made, catching up with old friends, a family Easter celebration and an enjoyable school holiday with some day trip fun.

Another Little butterflies.

We had a little mishap with the first version of Little Butterflies that I made for Scarlett when Jay did the washing and accidently felted it! oops!! I salvaged the buttons and re-made the sweet Tikki seamless pattern for her in some lush Rowan cashsoft dk from Deramores a great yarn store a friend told me about. The cashsoft is machine washable so hopefully we will be right this time, I have told him cold and gentle wash only!

Acacia

WooHoo! 2014 is here, bring on the Happiness I say! Happy New Year to everyone. We spent the day at one of our favourite spots, picnic lunch at the bay. The weather has been beautiful and I was lucky enough not to have to work today.

I thought I better catch up with some crafty posts - I made another fabulous Tikki pattern up for my 3 youngest girls - Acacia. A perfect little seamless knit made in some lush cotton fleece for the Summer months. They have been enjoying wearing them too!

The week leading up to Christmas

We have been baking and making some goodies!

My daughters love to get in the kitchen with me. We made gingerbread cookies, truffles, cupcakes and a gingerbread house. It gives them something to do each day while they try to be patient and wait for Christmas. They have all been spoilt and well gifted as have I. This very post comes from my iPad mini! 

Merry Christmas everyone! 

So blessed

To have such beautiful friends! Some people are just meant to come into your life I truly believe. I met Anne by chance, we bumped into each other getting off a train and she recognised me from my blog. I was amazed that my blog was actually read to be honest. Anyway, my dear friend Anne sent me a lovely wooly gift, some yummy purple sock wool to help me on my road to  happiness in 2014. Nothing better than happy knitting! Thanks so much Anne, I can't wait to catch up with you at the end of January!

Reverb 13 last day.

Today, I'd like you to revisit what you wrote on 1 December on the first day of Reverb13. How does that compare to where you are now?

Then, without thinking too hard about it, grab a pen and some paper and finish the following five sentences:

2014 is going to be MY YEAR because...I want it to be.

In 2014, I am going to do...what makes me happy.

In 2014, I am going to feel...Happiness!

In 2014, I am not going to...hold on to burdens that are not mine. I am not going to give up on me.

In December 2014, I am going to look back and say...I did it.

Thank you Kat for leading the reverb 13 journey and all those who have come and visited my blog, I have loved all the comments.
