Mother's Day

I've had a wonderful day on a gardening course, just popped home to get the dogs and now off to my daughter's house - she's cooking a Mother's Day meal for me and my Mum. Alison, wearing DollyDoodles finery, is showing you the pretty flower basket that is part of my present to my Mum.

Lá Fhéile Phádraig - Happy St Patrick's Day

Suzanna is here to wish you all a very Happy St Patrick's Day. It's a little showery here in Cork today, but mostly bright and sunny, so should be a good day for all the parades.

This afternoon I have lots to do in the polytunnel and Suzanna is going to be my helper. She can't believe how quickly the beans are growing!

Kina Cardi Finished

It didn't really get daylight here today! So here is Sadie, in the gloom, to show you the Kina Cardi finished.

Knitting and Stitching Goodies

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this blog. Had a stressful week since returning home. Anyway, here's my bag of goodies from the show.



With Cody's help I was working on this Kina Cardigan pattern (in two sizes for Sasha and baby) that is free on Ravelry. It's the first time I've tried knitting from the neck down. There's very little making up to do, just a tiny seam under each arm, so I'll ask for a volunteer to model it tomorrow.

Away for the Weekend

No more posts until next week as I'm off to Dublin for the weekend for the Knitting and Stitching Show and Cody has been chosen to come with me.

"Bye Mum and Cody, bring us back something nice"

Pink Spotted Sadie

Now the last of my shopping spree at Dollydoodles is this darling Sleepsuit and Hat set with hot pink spots! It is totally Sadie and you can see how delighted she is with it, as am I.

This means that Cody can claim the outfit that is rightfully his, so happy smiles all round.

A new DollyDoodles Outfit for John

John and I are both thrilled with his new outfit from the wonderful DollyDoodles. He certainly is the coolest kid on the block around here now, that's for sure.

It's just perfect for space hopping in, isn't it John.

I did some experimenting today and tried some new things with blogger. I think I like this larger format, do you?
