I’ve had a surprisingly busy fortnight, craft-wise, yet have very little to show for it…

Beth has been off at pre-school doing her prac, which is good for her, hectic for me, because as good as she has been at tafe, creativity is not her strong point. And I can say that completely guilt-free because I know she’d back me up.

Tonight, for instance, was spent making some last minute fossils from some rather messy clay so that the kids could go digging tomorrow. What did I learn from this? That despite my love for dinosaurs*, an archaeologist I would not make. Though, I do kinda like my triceratops skull…

*You know, I’ve always considered myself to be a pretty girly kind of person, but I’m starting to realise that a lot of my tastes are very much in line with an 8-year-old boy – space, dinosaurs and cape-wearing superheroes…

I was very happy to finish my mittens last night – they knit up so quick, which is always a plus, and I just love the colour. Just perfect now that the weather is cooling down.

What do you think?

Nice, huh. Yep, I’m pretty happy with them…

What? You want a closer look? Well okay then.

Yep. I’m stupid.

Mitten #3 on it’s way.
