Made it Monday

 


There are 52 weeks in a year yet they can disappear so fast, I just wanted to take a few minutes each Monday to capture (in a few words) where did the week go and to share what was made/seen/baked/eaten/heard.
Come on in & join me...

Do you like my knitting bag...
it was decorated by bubba Joe & given to me for Mother's Day this year!

Recipe: The easiest Spaghetii Squash & Meatballs

Yesterday, at 3pm I suddenly realised that I had not organised anything for dinner. Hey, it's 3pm I hear you say you have plenty of time but hey, not in my house... 3pm is the start of hell in my house! The baby was due to wake up & then would need to be changed, dressed, booby fed then the toddler would need afternoon tea as well then there is play time with them both then at 4pm it's the baby's dinner time which takes alllllll of my patience (& a mop!) then it's bathtime for them both then it's the toddler's dinner time then it's 'quiet play' with them both then it's booby time for the baby then it's bedtime then it's adult dinner time...  Phew, I'm exhausted thinking about it (& I've got to do it all again this afternoon too!)

My Winter Garden

One of the things I love about where we live, is our garden. It's not a fancy garden nor an overly productive garden but the most important thing is that it is ours.

Lovely Little Woollie!

Sometimes in life, you end up with a headcold for three weeks, you fall down some stairs & no-one cares and sometimes you win some yarn (twice in a row!)
