52 things i made {6/52}

This cross stitch. 
I had to step away from the knitting for a while, but I wanted something methodical that didn't require too much brain power, that I could pick up and put down around kiddo stuff/study/life.  This wee stitchery fit the bill perfectly.

better late than never

I did try to take a Wardrobe Wednesday photo yesterday, but it just wasn't a happening thing.  The best shot of the lot was this out take.

Anyway, you've seen this outfit before, here.  But it has been my favourite outfit this summer, so I thought it suited the love to love you theme for February.  You can read an interview with me, and see inside my wardrobe, over at Nin's!

Things are busy round here, but in a good, full kinda way.  Here's a few notes...

I spent a lovely lunch out at Kathleen's for her birthday.  Seriously, the food was awesome.  Who needs restaurants, we put the restaurant's to shame!!!  If you look closely here on Jess's post you'll see the plum tart I'm working on perfecting.  And you'll see Jess's AH-MAY-ZING to die for (vegan!) chocolate cake.  Seriously.  I had to hold myself back from stealing the whole plate and running away to hide in the garden and scoff the lot.  She generously shares the recipe here.

On another note have you seen these amazing wedding photos!  Whoa.  Gorgeous.  

Speaking of weddings its our 5th anniversary very soon!  Where did that time go!?

 Just enrolled for next semester...I'm on a roll!

And I've stopped knitting milos (temporarily) and I'll show you my latest project if I can get it finished tonight, after my weekly walk with my BFF.  I hope to watch Miranda while I get it finished.  Do you watch Miranda?   SO funny....

52 things i made {5/52}

I made this wee stitchery.  Is that the word?  I like to call it a stitchery anyway!  You may have seen it here!
I had a lot of fun creating it, and I can imagine a grouping of hoops would look very sweet in my daughter's room...putting it on the list.  The list is loooooong.
All I can seem to do at the moment is knit milos.  I'm still in the midst of studying, and just life, and all my brain really seems to want to do when I get some time out in the evenings (if I can get the toddler to stay. in. her. bed.) is to knit and watch telly.  Looking forward to this starting soon! 
A long weekend this weekend, YAY!
Have a good one.

ride

On the weekend we took a family bike ride (ah, I felt so wholesome.  heh.) to a park about 20min from our house.  We were the only ones there.  It was really nice.

I know I should be posting a wardrobe wednesday shot today, but the inspiration is just not flowing (translate:  I am wearing leggings and an old dress and am too lazy to get changed)  HOWEVER, you should enter!  Because I am judging this month, oooh fancy!  And you can see the prize I've donated here!  Now, go put your glad rags on while I make myself a coffee!
