So much for blogging!

I keep forgetting that I have a blog! Whoopsy!

Since I last blogged I have gained a family member, Freddie a psychotic tonkinese kitten.

freddie 003

He has grown a lot since these pictures were taken, but he doesn't seem to sit still long enough to get any new ones. Since he arrived at his new home, he has chewed through the cable for the Wii sensor, clawed my curtains, terrorized the kids (v. funny!), terrorized me (not so funny), broken one of my Piggin ornamants, tipped water and cups of juice over and bitten and clawed every member of the family! He has gained himself some nicknames too........Kung Foo kitty cos he loves leaping off furniture and attacking everyone, and Psycho Sid, which suits him down to the ground!

Charlotte has had her hair dyed black, looks lovely but my word do her roots grow through fast!

I'm very proud of Charlotte, she is 14 in March and she will be doing her Art GCSE's soon because she is doing so well.

Knitting wise I have been doing a lot of premature baby clothes, I haven't got any pictures yet but will get some sorted out. I have also knitted a hat and wrist warmers of my own design, but daughter chose the colours lol!

This hat was also my first attempt at knitting designs into it, think its called intarsia or something!

These wrist warmers haven't been taken off yet I don't think!

Blog again soon(ish)!

Happy New Year and thank you to Amber Moggie!

Here we are in 2009 already! I haven't made any resolutions because I always break them.......I'm just going to try and be happier, stress less, enjoy my wonderful children while they are young and KNIT something for ME!

I got a lovely squishy parcel in the post yesterday from a fellow blogger, AmberMoggie, I got a gorgeous Femme that I absolutely adore and some gorgous hand dyed yarn in yellow and orange. Thank you so much Amber Moggie, my prize is wonderful. I will post a picture as soon as I find my card reader..............it is hiding from me again!

On the knitting front I have finished the white and blue hooded jacket and a blue and white striped cardigan. I am now knitting a matinee jacket for a So Truely Real Doll that I have pinched off my Mum. It is knitted in James C Brett Harmony Brights, again pictures to follow when I can get them onto my laptop. I have bought some wool for wrist warmers for Charlotte, I have chosen bright pink and dark grey, just need to find an easy pattern now.
