Snippets: Spring Holidays

The blog has been somewhat neglected this week due to it being the school holidays (I owe you a Sewing Bee post, which hasn't been forgotten) so I thought I'd show you a few of the things that have been keeping us busy between spending time with different friends.

New life is popping up everywhere, and the longer days mean that we are getting a chance to enjoy it a lot more. D had some time off and enjoyed playing silly games like 'hoodies in the woodies' with the kids ...

... but cleaning up afterwards is never as much fun!

Spring. Blossom.

I managed to take some snaps of the new design I've been working on -  it's called 'Seafoam' and is a one-skein convertible shawl/shrug. It was freshly off the needles when it got shoved into my bag so it's not blocked or properly finished, but here's a peek...

Little Miss has been crafting too - with my mum's help, she's made her first garment - a skirt. She's wearing it in the picture below and is very pleased with it.

I can't promise next week will be much better as school is off until 23rd April, but we are enjoying plenty of fresh air and fun - I hope you are too!

  1. Gorgeous pics of the outdoors and your lovely family. Congratulations to Little Miss making her first skirt. What a talented family you are. Have another lovely week with your little ones, time flies and blogging will wait, growing up doesn't. I will wait patiently for your sewing bee post. Have a lovely weekend.

  2. I like that pic of the ohana boots! That would be a cute picture for your foyer or if it was done in wood or something with your last name underneath.
