Spring into Skinner Street

Finally the revival of the Southside is complete !

This morning was a morning like I remember spending in South Grafton in the 80's, it was reminiscent of the old " Carnival Capers Wednesday"

Markets, community cheer, fun, frivolity, dancing, delicious food, delightful coffee, families, music, love love love !!

My Special Little Guy

My special little guy is growing up, today was his first day ever without a day sleep, a sign that he is turning into a big boy :)

Sunday in the Park

An afternoon at the park with the kids and Glenn = Delightful, I sat in the sun knitting for a while as they played on the equipment, then we took a stroll around the ducks pond and feed them some bread.

JD is becoming such a character, posing and pulling faces when i take photos of him; and miss Lilli was as coy as ever!

New Crafty Digs

Celebrating my new crafty digs, my kido's evicted me from my giant craft room in to the

ex-nursery!! it's not all bad, i have had a chance to go through all my things and make som semblance of order!

So a preview of the new room .....
