Loosing a dear friend
The other week my dear friend my washing machine, I see her everyday even a couple of times , she died she gave up the ghost "NO MORE WASHING".
I reluntantly went and brought a new front loader and sorry old friend but I love my new friend. She heats up the water if I need it hot, she spins the clothes so lovely and does a super quick wash.
So farewell old maid and welcome new spunky gal to the family.
Busy week and it is only wed
This week has been so busy and i am not sure how to slow it down without shutting us all away from the world. The washing still piles up the dishes still need doing, cooking , cleaning etc.
Monday - worked daytime, volunteer training night time, one child sick
Tuesday - Drove 80km round trip for Flynn swimming for 1/2hour ( he loves it), baked all afternoon so Morgan could go on camp to day with homemade food instead of camp food cause she is Failsafe. Picked up a friends DS so had two boys home and a sick DD all afternoon , so break up fights and cooking YEAH.
Wednesday - Drove 80km again to go to dentist. Nanna looked after sick child. 1.5hour appoitment took 2.5hours in the chair and I ache now. Had to have a sleep this afternoon briefly cause I felt yuk. Morgan packed and sent on camp
Thurday - Supposed to be at work but sick child so having the day off, Very greatful that I might get some cleaning up done .
Friday - Work all day and then volunteer all night till 6am but no needed to go out unless ambo is called. Would be nice to get a job but that means someone is sick so maybe not.
Saturday - No plans just cleaning again and sorting out stuff for the following week. DH and DD off to hockey all day so just me and two younger kids.
Sunday - Hopefully rest day.
Think I should take a week off work just to slow down but that won't happen

Two posts in a month it must be a record.
Well I have no idea where the weeks go . I just don't seem to have time for alot of the things I want to do or need to do.
Since my last post I have finished as of last night the Kai-Mei and thoughly enjoyed the challenge. It appears that the left sock has one less repeat of the pattern but who cares , seriously no one is gonna be that close to my feet. I do love them but they did seem to take me along time like just over 2 weeks . The reason for this is because I have wasted a lot of knitting time I am told by a friend. I seem to have patterns that require 1. Me to think 2. Following a pattern in a book so not just on paper and all this means they are too hard to be portable.
Missed knitting opportunities in the last two weeks.
1. Flynn swimming lesson x 2 = 1hours
2. Girls swimming lesson x 2 = 1 hours
3. Numerous coffee shop visits with friends = (embarrsingly too many hours LOL)
4. Small snippets of time at home when i could pick up the needles
So you see this project would've been finished long ago but I choose hard patterns. Decision is made I now need to become a multiply project knitter.
I must confess I am a one project girl. I find i loose enthusiasum if I have more than one on the go LOL. I have no come out of the closest and will always have one plain boring project and one harder one mmore challenging one.
No photos as of yet but there will be soon.

Cookie A
I brought the Cookie A sock book Sock innovation after I finally made the Monkey socks and love love love them.
I decided I loved the look of Kai-Mei. I had purchased some new wool from Whimsical wool a new yarn store .
I love how they have turned out stripy and the pattern is just great. It did confuse me a little and I realised I had to let go of all how I have learnt about sock contruction when it came to the foot. Clear your mind and follow instructions.
Now just have to finish the second sock. Don't think SSS will set in just yet
Central Park hoodie
Morgan asked if i could make her one for her birthday so I siad Yes.
I knitted , knitted , knitted and knitted for a month only for her to say "its itchy" and not even get it past her wrist. So deflated.
Neve who never wants anything I make said "i'll have it" You could've knocked me down with a feather it was a shock.
I finished it a brought a zip and she wore it with straight hair on Saturday night.
She loves it so all good.
Waves and blows a kiss
Well the last month has flown by but been busy busy busy. I seem to be saying that a lot lately but it is so true.
My baby turned 4 on the 11/7 and he is just a treasure. He makes me laugh all the time and his interperations of things is so funny sometimes.
We didn't do anything special , we went to Adelaide to see family and wait impatiently for my new nephew to arrive but he didn't.
We also had Morgan 11th birthday on the 24/7 and my new nephew Cooper arrived on the 21/7 so a very busy birthday month.
