Picnics and Mohair

It was a lovely day for a picnic. And a lovely spot, too. The survey tape stakes out our house's footprint and Edie and I are plunked right on top of the dining room table.

We had a quick meal together as a family then, this was too idyllic, I gaily tiptoed across the field to a momma-only blessingway and Edie and Craig held hands and serendipitously skipped down the driveway, across the road to our neighbour's birthday party.

It's exciting to be spending time on our property. Though it's only three kilometres from where we're residing right now, our original intent reemerges and those tingly Horniman feelings resurface. We're at the same time feeling overwhelmed and super stoked about the journey ahead.

Until then, trying to get in lots of picnics and tingles. This is crafting blog so I best share my latest craftiness. Yesterday, I freaked because of lack of childcare again. Luckily, someone amazing pulled through (as always seems to be the case, thank you Universe) just in the nick of time too because I really have to adhere to this soap production schedule and I also had a commitment to join in on another dye day at the Threads Guild. Got some mohair and only had time for a little piece to colour. Behold:

Totally not what I had in mind but still it's so much fun this learning curve. I was aiming more for an Mini Egg kind of feel. But who knows how this will spin then knit up? I'm thinking of a hat like this. Cute!

You guys should seriously be in some type of "happy family" ad.
Great haircut it really suits you!

Edie looks like such a little grown up in this pictures, the "oh dad you're so silly pic" is definitely my fav.
