Sheep stones

It has really started to feel like Spring is here and were coming out of Winter hibernation .
we set about planting some Sunflowers yesterday .

the poor sunflower seeds were all planted and watered when Daisy decided it would be much more fun to tip out all the soil ! sigh !

After are the incident with the sunflowers we went for a walk in the sunshine

Ive named this giant Turkey 'Monstro' he is huge ! he saw Doodles so started waddling ever so slowly towards us looking very menacing and puffing himself up even more . we quickly left before we upset him anymore , ben said he was scary and i think id have to agree :) beautiful in a ugly kind of way but scary !

here's someone else who's beautiful x

Whoops!

i stood under a tree waiting for the pixies to catch up but they were intently investigating something so i wandered over to have a look and they were busy filling there pockets with sheep dropping ! i asked did they know what they where and they said stones :) when we got home daisy had filled every pocket and her rucksack with sheep 'stones' .

sleeping beauty

I had another very wakeful night with Molly as shes still very snuffly and fed lots so i woke up feeling very very bleary eyed and grumpy but when i saw this little beauty next to me in bed i couldn't help but smile :)

pixies in the mist

On Friday we went on a very misty walk across the fields.

Then the sun started coming out and all the mist rolled away it was so pretty to watch . we didn't see another person while we were out it was so peaceful and tranquil it really lifted my spirits after a wakeful night up with a snuffly Molly.

Molly slept the whole time we were out in a mei tai I'm borrowing off Angie from the GP forum to see if i like it and so far i really do :) i was worried it would be too much like my horrid Tomy baby carrier i was given when Ben was born but it wasn't and it is so comfortable to wear and very quick and easy to put on which i LOVE LOVE LOVE !

Hetty the hat chicken

yesterday we went for a walk along the canal . we got followed all the way by two swans who kept hissing at Doodles .

This cute Chicky was made from a shop bought baby hat i got given when Molly was born .it didn't fit very well so i made it into a chicken :) one side is stripey cotton and the other side is soft fleece material.

These little mice are the perfect quick little knitting project for a busy mama with a craft addiction :)

visiting Nana and Grandad

On Sunday my mum took us all down to Staffordshire to see the pixies Nana and Grandad . I found it strangely sad going through Stoke on Trent where we used to live and seeing all the places we went .I miss our dirty old city :(

This was the first time they have seen Molly so she got los of cuddles .

on the playground with Auntie Yvonne.

soggy welly walk.

Great excitement ! the sheepys have started having little Lambs :) a very cute and fluffy sign that spring is here !

the tint dot of red is Daisy getting stuck climbing over a gate :)

Check out the muddy knees, always a sign of a good walk

The pixies couldn't resist the sight of all this water ,and wellys were soon filled with water .

and coats and trousers soaked but Ben and Daisy didn't mind and happily squelched home to a warm bath and some hot chocolate .

making

Yes i know Christmas has been and gone well for at least the next 10months but i so wanted to make this knitted Christmas tree decoration for Christmas 09 but never quite got round to it so i made it for next Christmas :) organised or what ? This photo goes under the title of 'making Molly calm' i read in some naff baby book that giving a bath in the evening can calm them and help with those evening crying sessions so we gave it a try and for the last couple of night it has really done the trick YAY! Ive taken to just filling up the kitchen sink as its nice and deep and baby sized :) and Molly doesn't seem to doest mind having a bath next to the washing up drying on the draining board .

This is a lovely mummy make from Lou from the GP forum ,its so pretty i love it :)

Knitted bunny rabbit i made for Molly as a Easter present ,did i mention how organised i am lol :)

Daisy modeling my scarf i eventually finished just as winter comes to a end :) oh well .

what a lucky Mummy i am getting two handmade valentines cards from my pixies , the red one is from Daisy and the cream coloured one is from Ben.

Ben has become a Jigsaw junkie he cant get enough of them so Ive been buying him some from charity shops and grandma found some jigsaws in her loft that were mine . He has a jigsaw session most mornings before hes even gets dressed .
