It's with a lot of sadness that I've decided to say Au Revoir to my little blog. Thank you for the four years we've spent together and an even bigger thank you to everyone who has been there with me through all my witterings. My head and heart just aren't in it any more.<br />
There is a little side project which I might update from time to time so you might see me again.<br />

</div> So this morning I slept in, only by ten minutes but it was enough to knock me out of whack so to speak. I got myself all stressed out and flew around the house like a maniac, not that I had any need to but my routine was out of the window and I like my routines..... sometimes too much I think.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipP5rg9sz4NJPrm8l3Ei3gEQBpMAOLKx1uwDK33nuPdnYKOKYjWEEAX7bFkJ1fCer9Rk6T27uzjtmvCiLN4eZkKM9IkJ3w_9L-ovcHpCmdlTNKnOhEaws5yVP9lszBG_IXAAuFhp_1sgnf/s1600/P1020083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipP5rg9sz4NJPrm8l3Ei3gEQBpMAOLKx1uwDK33nuPdnYKOKYjWEEAX7bFkJ1fCer9Rk6T27uzjtmvCiLN4eZkKM9IkJ3w_9L-ovcHpCmdlTNKnOhEaws5yVP9lszBG_IXAAuFhp_1sgnf/s400/P1020083.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> I got the boys to school in plenty of time, there wasn't any need to rush at all and then I headed off to Asda to get a few bits of bits and bobs for tea. On the way there I had the most horrible feeling in my stomach, you know when it's like dozens of butterflies are going mad inside and are trying to burst out?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6pdyi8BlHAuzby8GlyKJTB4BHIQ6FO_KYpJ_0F9THRCGJXKYf05g3f1eB-o1iWG9suFoLEo53Xl7yA7bO71ToRDMHl0Sw1g5HCm_JYPZ1czlpe9_aHpUlPFriZLGiVJBBPx3G3naAvSEd/s1600/P1020084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6pdyi8BlHAuzby8GlyKJTB4BHIQ6FO_KYpJ_0F9THRCGJXKYf05g3f1eB-o1iWG9suFoLEo53Xl7yA7bO71ToRDMHl0Sw1g5HCm_JYPZ1czlpe9_aHpUlPFriZLGiVJBBPx3G3naAvSEd/s400/P1020084.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Then for some unknown reason I started to cry , floods and floods of tears just running down my face and the strange thing is that I have no idea as to why I was crying. There is nothing wrong and nothing upsetting me but the tears just kept on coming. So I just sat in the car in the supermarket car park until they stopped.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdDO8qlQ6klvFIUsINkITdigTinFi0Xio70Ol0QNmndzFLZtfSTgQyrvlJ4tk72Tvn0U5DxwB_Ps9xrNiA_DifG1XtDHdjRpHyd2vPX5bhgXJFE56W2NUwejMO4KRg3wFhPWqfdve6zH1/s1600/P1020085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdDO8qlQ6klvFIUsINkITdigTinFi0Xio70Ol0QNmndzFLZtfSTgQyrvlJ4tk72Tvn0U5DxwB_Ps9xrNiA_DifG1XtDHdjRpHyd2vPX5bhgXJFE56W2NUwejMO4KRg3wFhPWqfdve6zH1/s400/P1020085.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> I got my shopping and a bunch of daffodils as a treat and then set off home. On the way back I realised just what a glorious day it was the sun was shining and the sky was a cloudless brilliant blue and at that very moment I thought ' stuff it' everything I had planned to do today can wait,<br />
<br />

</div> Who is going to really care if the dust sits there a bit longer or the washing stays another day in the basket, what does it matter if the breakfast dishes are still there at tea time or the ironing doesn't get until another day. What does it really matter??<br />
<br />

</div> So I unpacked the shopping, made a quick toilet stop grabbed some poop bags and threw the dogs into the car, well not literally threw but you know what I mean, and went for a walk in the park. The birds were tweeting and singing, it was warm enough to wander around in my short sleeves and we took a slow amble around the full park.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIN5B0KlhWOa8X7c1ay1VWYb_g9xVC5fqd5IzNtcfGb6D0dN-_z9WsRhvzo8LXSwE0N9_c28kTpVXVzMm2grA4cVtw4WVtgseM5cwsSiex1x9dlvJJU9Nyyrwd0x_BKM-ctH1xToyZPE1D/s1600/P1020088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIN5B0KlhWOa8X7c1ay1VWYb_g9xVC5fqd5IzNtcfGb6D0dN-_z9WsRhvzo8LXSwE0N9_c28kTpVXVzMm2grA4cVtw4WVtgseM5cwsSiex1x9dlvJJU9Nyyrwd0x_BKM-ctH1xToyZPE1D/s400/P1020088.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> The dogs didn't care how far they walked they would have gone on for much longer. I found a quiet spot at the top of a little hill and sat down just taking in my surroundings and thinking how beautiful it all is and how miraculous Mother Nature is and that sometimes all we need is just to take some time out, to take some deep breaths and relax.<br />
<br />

</div> I read somewhere the other day that the average working mam has just 26 minutes a day to herself, 26 minutes,,,,,, it's not a lot is it? So I think I need to make the most of those few minutes and do something for me ... I need me time. Time where I can choose to do nothing or maybe something just depending on how I feel. I need to not get so stressed out and worked up about things.<br />
<br />

</div>I have a few more orders for bunnies then I'm not doing any more,( orders that is) once again I've got myself into a hole where I've got three to do before Easter. I could have done them quite easily but sometimes I just don't feel in the mood for knitting, sometimes I just want to play on Farmville or read Blogs or maybe just have a look about on Pinterest. I wanted to do Easter stuff for the boys but it's not going to happen as I've put other people before them and for that I feel really guilty, the boys probably won't even mind but I mind and that messes me up inside.<br />

</div>Now if you've been following my blog for a while you might remember that a friend of mine died whilst filming for Sports Relief so I always like to try and do a little something in his memory.<br />
<br />
So after reading Emma's post I quickly got in touch with Scarlett from <a href="http://teenagegranny.blogspot.com/">Teen Granny</a> who master minded the whole thing and offered her a bunny.<br />
<br />
Now this bunny isn't just any bunny it will be made to your specifications, you will choose what colour it will be and what colour jumper it will be wearing. So please please please pop across to<a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=knitrelief&rt=nc"> knit relief </a>and bid ,even if it's not for my bunny you might see something else you like.periwinklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141517094194659148.post-1439385274487571052012-03-12T17:30:00.001+00:002012-03-12T19:05:45.693+00:00* 22 / 2012 *<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3w_pV64weB3XagAY443cgExIIUblAn0tQ47ativWio4bstPtJeBVZa_dO7YqAvpPQuRM_tVnv1MTkaOBLZ-qpGPOLHcZuAFaUs9O36oj7lI5NK1tsufOnZOAxdTlgHAAD8ps97PTxRuq/s1600/P1020038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3w_pV64weB3XagAY443cgExIIUblAn0tQ47ativWio4bstPtJeBVZa_dO7YqAvpPQuRM_tVnv1MTkaOBLZ-qpGPOLHcZuAFaUs9O36oj7lI5NK1tsufOnZOAxdTlgHAAD8ps97PTxRuq/s400/P1020038.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Another tree I saw yesterday was this Cherry tree or as I just nearly mis-spelled Cheery tree. It was so beautiful I thought it deserved a post all of its own.<br />
<br />
I could have stood underneath it for hours and even saw a bee flying from flower to flower, I just wasn't quick enough to get a photo.<br />

</div> WOW, so was today a gorgeous day or what? A perfect Spring day in my opinion although Spring doesn't officially start for another 9 days yet but who's counting. The birds were singing their little hearts out and flowers are popping out and blooming all over the place.<br />

I have to say that once again I didn't wake up in the best of moods, haven't been sleeping very well lately and Gabe has got into the habit of waking up real early, about 6am ish, and yelling for me at the top of his voice . Of course I'm the only one who hears him so have to dive out of bed, onto my poorly foot which I always forget about so I nearly fall over, before he wakes the whole house up. Then 9 times out of 10 I can't get back to sleep so get up before the banging headache starts.<br />

Anyway enough of my moans and groans, the sun today was glorious and boy did it make me feel better. Just a slow walk around the park, for me anyway whilst the boys and pups just ran hell for leather here there and everywhere. We'd missed the main bank of crocus's but there were still plenty around and they were just soooo pretty. Nearly all in shades of purple or white or a mixture of both, no yellow ones maybe they were amongst the ones we missed.<br />

</div> This is my favourite tree in the park and I think it's probably the biggest too. It's a huge Beech tree, I wanted to try and give you something to go on just so you could see just how big it is. Look closely and you will see two tiny figures at the base of the tree, that's the boys. Does that give you an idea of it's size?<br />
It was really warm today too and my arms actually got their first airing of the year. It would be nice to think that we will get some decent sunny days this year and then there would be no need to be wishing that you were leaving on a jet plane for a sunnier climate.<br />

</div> For those of you who like astronomy I strongly suggest that during this month you keep your eyes peeled as there are some amazing sights to be seen. Last night we saw the planets Venus , Jupiter and Mars.<br />
<br />
The photo above shows Venus ( the bottom dot) and Jupiter ( the top dot) what you can't see is that to the left of Venus was a teensy tiny dot which was one of its moons.<br />
<br />
The photo below shows the moon and to the left of it is Mars which was actually a pinkish colour. I'm sorry that my photo's are pretty rubbish but I hope it gives you some kind of idea. For more information you can check out<a href="http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/visible-planets-tonight-mars-jupiter-venus-saturn-mercury"> this article.</a><br />
<br />
Tonight there will also be a large Solar Storm, the largest in six years which could result in a viewing of the Northern Lights for some of us , you can read about that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2111506/Solar-storm-March-2012-Largest-solar-flare-6-years-hit-Earth-today.html">here</a>.

</div> Hey, how are you all doing? It seems like ages since I last posted once again but sometimes life is just so busy busy busy. What with boys, pups, work and oh so much knitting, Easter is a very busy time for bunnies didn't you know.<br />
<br />
The little lady above, who I've named Etta, was a custom order which I finished just last night and tomorrow she will be on her way to New York very close to 5th Avenue no less. Lucky, lucky Etta, I'm also a bit sad to see her go as she is another of my favourites, there are only a handful of bunnies that I wish I'd kept and she is most definitely in there.<br />

</div> Three little Wuzzies above are still for sale in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/periwinklepark">my shop</a>, they are so cute and wee, oh jeez I just used the word ' wee' and that's one of my pet hate words - tiny I should have said tiny! I think they will be an ongoing thing as there are so many options of what I can do with them. I've even thought of what I can do with them for Christmas stocking fillers. There's nothing like thinking ahead is there cough cough ..<br />
<br />
As for Princess Dina below she is also on her way to America , Sacramento if I remember rightly and she was also a custom order. Now I've got about 4 weeks to do three bunnies and a mouse but two of the bunnies are staying in Sunderland so I don't have to worry about shipping times.<br />

<br />
So a couple of days ago my favourite hessian shopper bag got a hole in, it's a good few years old and was a freebie from good old Nescafe coffee. You know when you used to save up the labels and then send off for goodies maybe you still can I'm not sure to be honest.<br />
It was used a lot and I just had to find a replacement so I went on a shopper hunt and found these ' Good Bags'.<br />
<br />
I had to bribe the boys with a biscuit to be models!!<br />

I bought myself the knitting one, if you hadn't already guessed and what with Mothers Day not being too far away I bought the 'nana' and 'granny' as presents from the boys. You seriously should pop across and check out<a href="http://www.thegoodbagco.com/index.php"> their site </a>as the prices are also very very reasonable.<br />

</div>I also saw this little one and thought that maybe one of you guys might like it as a little pressie . It was my four years blogging anniversary back in January and lately I've been totally pants at leaving comments so it's also a sort of apology . All you have to do is leave a comment and maybe suggest some of your favourite blogs for me to read before midnight Saturday and I'll choose a winner on Sunday.<br />
<br />
I'd also just like to thank everyone for the lovely comments on my last post they meant a lot.... thank you.periwinklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141517094194659148.post-24980625406443159532012-02-06T21:48:00.000+00:002012-02-06T21:48:36.234+00:00* 13 / 2012 *<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSKqYZSGCLpyn5Q-UmDWTzLCJOY-P7JjUazton7PeDKFt8x1S7UeSbpB9bMSPHjgsmjp9UMQKXzO5FFPqUjlIoKwlyMjAKIJwQuofq_2cz8mrF6FOtqqn6TY_XCpj4hDNYPgzSsc_mPnT/s1600/DSCN0799.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSKqYZSGCLpyn5Q-UmDWTzLCJOY-P7JjUazton7PeDKFt8x1S7UeSbpB9bMSPHjgsmjp9UMQKXzO5FFPqUjlIoKwlyMjAKIJwQuofq_2cz8mrF6FOtqqn6TY_XCpj4hDNYPgzSsc_mPnT/s640/DSCN0799.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Do you ever sometimes dither about whether or not you should post about certain things and whether or not they are too personal or too upsetting? Well that's how I feel about this post. I did write about it the other day but after I clicked on the 'post' button I quickly changed my mind and went back and deleted it .<br />
So my apologies that this is a sad post .<br />
<br />
Back on December 27th 1999 a little girl was born, a gorgeous little girl with a mass of white blonde hair and she looked just like her mother. Unfortunately this little girl suffered complications at birth which the hospital accepted responsibility for and this meant that she couldn't walk or talk or dance or sing or do any of those day to day things which we may take for granted.<br />
<br />
On January 27th 2012 this little girl became ill, she was taken to her hospital and faded rapidly. Her parents made the sad decision to turn off her ventilator on Monday 30th and she died in her parents arms.<br />
<br />
Today was her funeral but instead of it being all about her death her parents made it all about her life. She arrived in a pale pink coffin that had been decorated with stickers and drawings which her two younger sisters had done. Some of her favourite songs were played and there was talk about not only how she was loved but also how when she wanted to be she could be' a big pain in the ass'. After the service her sisters released balloons, there way of saying goodbye as they are still a bit too young to understand.<br />
<br />
This 12 year old gorgeous blue eyed blonde girl was the eldest daughter of my best friend and I would now like to think that she is somewhere walking and talking and dancing and singing and doing all those things that she couldn't do while she was here on earth.<br />

</div> So yesterday morning I was all excited as the weatherman had predicted snow, lots and lots of snow. Around about dinner time the sky went dark and it started, just a few flakes but they kept coming and I kept jumping up and looking out of the window with a daft smile on my face. Yeah finally snow, but then it turned to sleet.<br />
<br />

</div>It sleeted for a good few hours and then the rain turned to ice , really really hard hurtful ice and it just kept coming but the weatherman still said snow. So this morning when I opened the curtains I was really hoping that there would have been snow during the night but nope, nada, zilch nothing.... it looks like the closest I'm getting to snow is going to be these beautiful snowdrops.<br />

So I'm going to try and do a quick catch up of what's been happening over the last couple of weeks. I feel like it's been non stop work either at Lush or at home, not that I'm complaining but by the time the boys have gone to bed I'm just totally pooped out and trying to get into a decent routine is a nightmare but it will get there eventually... I hope.<br />

I finished Ben Bunny as a custom order for a lady who still hasn't claimed him so he might be available in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/periwinklepark">Etsy shop</a> very soon if she doesn't get her act into gear! Speaking of my Etsy shop on February 1st it was three years since I sold my first finished toy and since then I've sold a total of 86 knitted items so I've set myself a little goal of selling 40 items this year and I've already sold two so that makes just 38 to go. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen but hey I can but try.<br />

</div> Gabe had an eye test at school and he got referred to the opticians... I thought that he might have to wear glasses at some point as both me and Hub wear them but was hoping it would be later rather than sooner, but then again maybe because he's got them at such a young age his eyesight will be corrected and he might not need them when he's older. He has a short sighted stigmatism in his left eye which is exactly the same as Hub and now they look totally alike too don't you think? I had Milo's tested too whilst we there but he's got 20/20 vision.<br />

This is her Love Bunny Ball but I've also used her patterns when I made Dobbie and the Mandrake if you can remember that far back. You should go check her out.<br />

</div> We've been on a few walks some under bright blue clear skies and some under rather grey and dismal skies but all have been extremely cold. The weather forecasters have been predicting snow for the past few days but so far there have only been a few odd flakes where if you blinked you would miss them. Apparently the snow will definitely be here starting tomorrow and carrying on into next week. I do hope so.<br />

The pooches are settling in well together having completely mental times where they go totally mad and chase each other from one end of the house to the other and back again. Can you believe Kali was one year old on January 28th, she's getting a big girl now and is always putting Freyja in her place whenever she's naughty... which is quite often I might add.<br />

</div>You know when something happens and it makes you feel all smiley happy inside and you start to think that maybe things will be okay after all. Well today was one of those days.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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 .<br />
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.periwinklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141517094194659148.post-62623569040289647942012-01-09T22:14:00.000+00:002012-01-09T22:14:52.007+00:00* 8 / 2012 *<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeVUhDHImserwieiSWz-Ml4znDJUYfMKEo57_fgCwFclFrJb01BgvzeKyDm7rTCRVwFd2tAKuBmm3peJ_Z_7_bBwEjhnDYqlI-R05F-cn0Gf7eaS_PTcjJ_oQw_BxUP0vulWq0_lai79R/s1600/P1010559.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeVUhDHImserwieiSWz-Ml4znDJUYfMKEo57_fgCwFclFrJb01BgvzeKyDm7rTCRVwFd2tAKuBmm3peJ_Z_7_bBwEjhnDYqlI-R05F-cn0Gf7eaS_PTcjJ_oQw_BxUP0vulWq0_lai79R/s400/P1010559.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

</div>No snow for my birthday walk this year, instead the sky was blue, the sun was shining and the birds were singing......<br />
We went out for tea although the boys were disappointed there were no baby octopus in the anti-pasto!!<br />
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.periwinklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141517094194659148.post-61888347549183793032012-01-08T19:34:00.000+00:002012-01-08T19:34:25.613+00:00* 7 / 2012 *<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh25QfgI9i3wX3Q_8nvr5zSPMMuLWNmf8gRVfu3Q0StzGNkdNYKLwpKMuFzV0DkxB5m90m4PSah-bxzpztHh5RsJYt7CO8l52l2u2IUsGJ3uZyBkQO7rkDYOC3i-kbDgRDPsiNhppwjUYrI/s1600/P1010503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh25QfgI9i3wX3Q_8nvr5zSPMMuLWNmf8gRVfu3Q0StzGNkdNYKLwpKMuFzV0DkxB5m90m4PSah-bxzpztHh5RsJYt7CO8l52l2u2IUsGJ3uZyBkQO7rkDYOC3i-kbDgRDPsiNhppwjUYrI/s400/P1010503.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div> The boys are going over their Grans today so we pack up her Christmas presents, which have been sitting in a bag on the landing since before Christmas and toddle off into town to meet her. Lots of hugs and kisses before they go and then I wander around the town for about half an hour and actually buy myself some new trousers and a top.<br />

</div> Hub and I took the dogs for a walk down the park, still windy but not as bad as it has been the past few days. We did see another dog running around with a rabbit in its mouth, the owner got the rabbit out but then left it in the middle of the path and the poor thing was still alive..... just. There was no way I could leave it there so I picked it up and hid it right at the back of the bushes . I know it's all nature and everything but it was still upsetting and it wouldn't have been a nice thing for any little children to see.<br />

</div> The boys didn't come back until after 6pm and then they were tucked up in bed just before 8pm. I couldn't be bothered to cook so it was takeaway fish and chip with mushy peas for tea while watching three episodes of American Horror Story. A programme which is seriously messed up but seriously addictive..... does anyone else watch it?<br />

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.<br />

</div> 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.<br />

</div> So much for my posting every day in January huh......... I had full intentions of doing a post yesterday but after I got home from work it was like someone flicked the off switch and the yuck set in. I was tucked up in bed just after 9pm.<br />
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.<br />

</div> I think the rather chilly and windy walk around the park with Hub and the pooches might have helped a little bit. Don't let the blue skies fool you as it was very cold and blowing a gale just like it has been for the last few days.<br />

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!<br />

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.<br />

</div> So today she asked if I'd like to work another two weeks ......... yes please, big smile on my face. I think to start with there were ten temps but only eight started then another four or five were taken on so there were quite a few of us altogether and as far as I know I'm the only left . I consider this to be a huge privilege and it makes me feel like I've achieved something. I don't know if I'll be kept on any longer but I'm happy with what I've got so far.<br />

It looked as though there was something right in the middle of the lens so every picture had a big blob right in the middle... oh well.<br />
So instead I'll show you the boys stocking toys which I didn't think would get finished in time. I had started making them other things but then Gabe eventually told me what he had asked Santa for. He wouldn't tell us at first as he said ' it was a secret'. He asked for three things, a polar bear, an Elf and a Santa Claus . The polar bear caused a mad rush around the town and we eventually found a little one in a cheap book shop. The Santa Claus was a chocolate one and the Elf, well as you can see I managed to make an Elf which has the original name of 'Elfie'.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had started making Milo a stripy wolf in his favourite colours but then he became hooked on playing a game called Little Big Planet so Hub suggested making him a 'Sackboy' which is the main character from the game. I hadn't been totally happy with the wolf idea so Sackboy it was and although I couldn't get the right zip he didn't come out too bad. Which reminds me I must add the wolf to my ever growing list of WIP's !!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>If you are wondering about my new header photo which I think is absolutely gorgeous, all credit goes to my dad who took it. I haven't taken any that I like recently, my photography has gone right down the pan unfortunately, so another note to self..... must try harder.periwinklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.com10
