The day didn't start off too bad, a bit better than the past few days with none fighting boys and less manic hounds . School run went okay, quite calmly surprisingly enough, missed the bus into town but hey it was only a few minutes until the next one.
No wait in the Post Office and no queue to get my hot chocolate with spiced gingerbread so I arrived at work with twenty minutes to spare.
I'd been in about five minutes or so when the boss came across and totally out of the blue said ' Lisa, would you like to stay with us forever? '. Can you imagine how big my smile was and how quickly I said .. oh yes, yes please .
I quickly rang Hub to tell him the good news and what made it even better was when I told the other girls who work there. One of the girls started jumping up and down and just hugging the living daylights out of me, I don't think I've ever been hugged so many times in one day ,it made me feel like I really belong there, part of something special and boy did it feel good.

We went out for tea although the boys were disappointed there were no baby octopus in the anti-pasto!!
Then when the boys were in bed Hub and I relaxed with some wine and some classic 80's films..... it was a good day.

If I do manage to get another done then hopefully I'll be able to get some photo's done so you can let me know what you think as I've never made these before.

This year I decided that I was going to try and plan ahead with my knitted items so I had things ready in my shop for special events like Easter, Halloween, Valentines Day etc. So I feel quite proud of myself that I've actually managed to get something in there already.
This little girl is called Oona and she has a patterned heart on her jumper and is also holding a little knitted heart which she is hoping to give someone on Valentines Day.
This second little girl is called Maura and she was a bit of a test as I made her using two different yarns twisted together to see what the effect would be and I think she turned out okay. I might try doing this again but with two yarns of a similar shade rather than being completely different.
I'm thinking of making some little lambs for Easter, which I know is months away but like I said .... I'm planning ahead and I've never done a lamb before and maybe some ducks too ... oooh lots of ideas whooshing around in this little head of mine.

This morning I still felt pretty awful, queasy and had a banging headache but it has definitely eased off as the day has gone on.
Kali is going to be one at the end of the month and Freyja was 19 weeks today and you can see that there isn't that much difference in size. I think we're going to have a big lady on our hands!

Remember I was working at Lush over Christmas, a job that I was really enjoying, well my contract ended on the 29th of December and I left the shop in tears . I'd been home about an hour when the phone rang and it was the manageress asking if I'd like another shift for the day after and two for this week --- hell yeah, course I would.
