Whizzing Weeks

What a week - so many exciting things happening inspite of mega sleep deprivation courtesy of a poor little teething Edie Rose - dear little duckling...


3 Happy Things...

The boy is 3 whole years old today! Woop Woop! We managed to get this far and he is awesome! Truly! We will be eating lots of cake this weekend in honour of this momentous occasion. Cake is always a happy thing...especially when you let your 3 year old decorate it himself - lots of sprinkles involved - as well as a lot of eating mini-marshmallows as part of the decorating process).

Lumi boot cuffs and clutches are now featured on Via-Cornwall - big smiles!

And I've had some really MEGA exciting news...which can't be revealed just yet, but for the time being this will do for a happy thing... Lumi Slate Grey boot cuffs made it to the US frontpage on Etsy.com yesterday thanks to this fab treasury created by Kristy from SAStudio

Happy days indeed x

Boot Cuff PDF Crochet Pattern

So, finally got round to creating a PDF pattern for my boot cuffs. Now in the shop. I've got a few more crochet patterns that I've been doing, so just a little bit more tweaking to do on them and they'll be there too.

Super Sunday - ball pools, photos and more boot cuffs!

1. Boot Cuffs - the shop has been stocked today, more boot cuffs in a rather lovely shade of sage green and some perfect PJ pants for little ones.

2. Photo fun - lovely afternoon spend in the garden taking pics of the items while Charlie wandered around playing with snails and stones - just as little boys do :)

3. Ball Pools - lots of running around and chasing chuckling children at a big play zone place today - they loved it - and actually so did Ross and I - it's not often you get to slide down bumpy slides as grown ups!!

Happy Funtime Friday - Front pages, playmates and wonderful winter weather!

1. What a wonderful start to the weekend - my Mustard Crochet Wristwarmers were featured on the front page of Etsy.com - I am so excited and can't believe how my shop views have rocketed. SO happy!

2. Lovely fun playdate had this morning, a very happy little chappy really enjoyed a nice couple of hours of play with his dear little friend and lovely for me to see mine :)

3. Wintry weather - its so beautifully chilly and sunny..there is lots of frost in the garden and as they weather was nice and dry I thought it the perfect opportunity to plant the bulbs I bought ages ago (another thing to tick of my To-do..). Unfortunately...the ground was frozen solid! Only managed to poke a couple of tulips in a couple of shady places!!

Happy Days...

Crochet, Pinterest & Sleeping Children!

1. Crochet - The shop is being loaded up with more items daily, my boot cuffs were even mentioned on the Crochet Confections Daily over the weekend - yey!

2. Pinterest - the British Sellser on Etsy Pinterest Boards have some lovely things on them, as well as a couple of my items, yippee.

3. Mega sleep had by all - at last, proper rest, its quite remarkable how one good night's sleep can utterly change the way you feel - ahhhh :)

Boot cuffs, baking and boredom...

Well, a lovely productive weekend is being had so far.

1. Friday spent baking lots of delicious things with the boy for a lovely afternoon tea with my lovely grandparents (who brought beautiful daffodils and they really made me smile!) ... Booster bars and Banana cake, as well as a big batch of freezer meals - I'm going to love coming home from work knowing that that's another thing not to worry about next week!

2. Boot Cuffs - headbands, ear warmers, fingerless mittens and pyjamas, all things aded to the Etsy and Folksy shops this weekend :)

3. Boredom - an odd one, but definitely made Ross and I smile at 3.30 am when Charlie wandered into our room and told us he was bored... sleeping at night not exciting enough then Charlie? My word!
