Happy mummys day

I was woken this morning with lots of cuddles and kisses which was lovely. Koby gave me a sweet little bathroom bag with a wash cloth and little soap that looked like a cupcake. I must say he did very well, it is VERY me and he even picked out my favourite colour.

Charlee gave me several hand made treasures, including a painting she did at kinder and also a coaster with her hand print on it which she made at playgroup.

I have some things to show off. I finished my very first cabled beanie last night, i am really happy with how it came out. I have never made anything with a cabled pattern before because it seemed very scary, and it was LOL...a little too fiddly to be honest but i got there in the end and i'm really happy with it. I now have to make one for Koby in Blue and Luke also requested one in white (how boring huh?!)...

anyway, here is charlee modeling hers in the front yard.

and being a bit cheeky throwing leaves all over mummy...

I also wanted to show off some of the vintage knitting books i picked up at an op shop the other week

An i am also very proud to say that Koby was announced as the VIP - very important prep - at his school this week. He gets to have his photo up on the window in his class room, and also help out the teacher with various tasks during the week. he was very proud of himself. They are also going on an excursion to the zoo on Tuesday...i'll admit that i am just a wee bit nervous sending my baby all the way into the city without my constant supervision...what if he gets lost? separated from the group? hurt? eaten by a lion?! ok so maybe the last one is a little over the top but the rest are all quite reasonable fears of mine...

And finally, one more bit of news. I was contacted by Fiskars the other day to let me know that i was one of the two winners picked to be a part of the Fiskars advertising for the year. The story journal i made at the start of the year was chosen to be used in the adverts that will run in all the major scrapping mags. I was very chuffed...the other winner was Ngaire Bartlam who is a fantastic scrapper as well so congrats to her. Can't wait to see the adds up in print.

that's all from me..off to sit in front of the telly with my feet up enjoying some chocolate and a coffee. Hope all you other mummys out there are doing the same.
