Wet Tuesday

It's a wet Tuesday here :-( . I generally don't mind rain, which is good think living in Wales, but I hate this extremely fine, extremely wet stuff coming from the heavens today. I am glad to be cwtched inside with my baby boy while someone else does the school run on my behalf!

My Baby Boy turned 1 last week - where did the time go? I am overwhelmed somewhat by just how fast he's grown from that tiny little bundle to the busy little man he now is. We had a gathering over the weekend of a few close friends, who are also our neighbours, to celebrate. Everyone brought a curry and we enjoyed a 'Noah's Ark' birthday cake:


I also managed to complete a knitting project the other day - a baby blanket for baby Lydia - my friend Hannah's little girl. Lydia, like myself, is a red-head so the blanket is a lovely green colour - fabulous colour for our kind. It's a Debbie Bliss pattern from her book 'Special Knits' made in the lovely baby cashmerino yarn. I omitted the triangular border described in the pattern, choosing instead to finish it with a simple crochet edge:


The baby boom amongst my friends is keeping me very busy, as is a wedding cake for the 3rd of March! My winter quilt, blogged about recently, is cut out and ready to go - just as soon as I find a free afternoon or evening!
