I love school holidays.  Once we’ve sorted out the issue of child care for the two days I work, it’s such a lovely change of routine.  Sleeping in (the kids anyway – I’ve been getting up early and going for a walk or to the gym) and not having the constant rush, rush, rush to get to the next appointment.  It does slow down my crafting potential though – I am doing things with the kids instead!  So there’s not much to show you.  Other than some Wollmeise that arrived in the mail this week.

This is going to become a Birch Vest (Ravelry link) – for me, of course! Clare and I went to the movies this morning then wandered around the shopping centre a little. I couldn’t believe it – there was so much crochet around! Loads of vests, tops, crocheted bodices, crocheted trim, lots of crochet combined with fabric in garments. I’d better keep at it with the hook and then my girls will be right with the trends!

And a HUGE thank you to all the lovely people that commented on Clare’s Patchie toy.  She is so thrilled by your comments and proud of her own efforts.  She may make one for Stella for Christmas.
