what a beautiful day

The sun is shining the birds are chirping and I have just received a photo of my wee munchkins. Unfortunately none of the other school photos were any good as there was too much squinting going on amongst the kids. We are in week 5 of the term and things are flying by. Not a lot of time for crafting these days, but I am sure I will find some time somewhere. :) Anyway I will come back and finish the post later as I have a report screaming my name that needs to be written before the board meeting this arvo. Here are the babes.

Here is what I have been up to

I have entered into the delightfull world of spinning so thought that I should share a picture of my new toy.

To add to this I have taken a wee picture of the latest spinning attempt. It is getting finer every time I have a go and I am no longer spinning tow ropes like I used to......

Since joining tnn I have discovered the wonderful world of swaps. In the recent swap I did I made up some tea coasters which I thought were rather retro chick. I liked them so much that I made 2 extra, one for my sewing cabinet and one for my coffee table. I love the quirky dots that are showing. I am deep in thought at the moment trying to think of a piece of artwork that I have to come up with in relation to a professional learning group I am in as part of my principalship. My recipient is a real artist and loves the flower 'bird of paradise' so I am rather nervous about my art skills - i can draw a mean stick man, but alas do not possess any talent in the area of painting :)

Hello world LOL I have joined the life of bloging

Well as my very first post I have uploaded a pic of my wee darling in her "Jo" pinafore. It is part of the March Sisters that my good friend Kelly from the blog knit.so.quaint and also found on Ravelry as Gurnard. She is a wonderful talented designer who has such nice and easy patterns to follow and is an absolute hunny in real life! Once I figure out how to link to the pattern I thoroughly recommend that you purchase them, from a beginer knitter they are amazing! Well it is Saturday evening and it is suddenly pouring with rain outside and my washing is, yes you guessed it, rinsing in the rain Argh! I thought I would also add the piccys of my little hunters after a afternoon goat hunting with daddy.
