While he sleeps...

Tamsyn and I get busy.  In one way or another...


  • We have a lovely sheltered deck area in our backyard that is roofed with tinted laserlite, which is a must in our part of the world what with its depleted ozone layer right above us.  So today seemed like a good day for a paddle.  Tamsyn loves the water, which isn't really surprising considering both her parents are water mad and reminded me of myself when I was young, you know, staying in the water until you start shivering...... 

  • I've been feeling the need to knit socks for myself lately, despite being on the first sleeve of another Tiny Tea Leaves for Tamsyn.  I try to be a monogamous knitter but I think it's just not natural in some ways, although more than two is stretching myself too much.  I've had this sock yarn for a while and it kept calling me every time I walked past it, so I gave in and dug out the double pointed needles.  This is the first sock, so here's hoping I won't end up suffering from 'second sock syndrome' (like I have in the past).

  • And what of Angus?  Well he's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up against any piece of furniture, or leg, or sister.....

  2. It looks like you and Tamsyn have fun while Angus naps. I love the water too as do my girls. The pool looks like fun. Does Angus like the water?
    Enjoy your warm weather and knitting and of course your beautiful family.

  3. Ah summer! What a sweet photo and smile.

    I used to be serially monogamous but it seems I have lost all control and now count 3 projects on the needles, a queue of about 4 more before Christmas, some weaving and a quilt waiting to be quilted.

    Those bright socks look like a great picker upper!
