Spring nature fix and a yarn bombing party!

went to family music camp:

the gumboots say it all...ready for wet weather and plenty of  knitting...

my chickens made new friends and jammed in the forest.

 Taught a friend to knit!

 climbed a mountain,

and explored the rocks and caves.

and then back for my 11 year old's birthday bash complete with a lesson in granny squares and bike bombing (just a bit!)

BUNTING and a CARDI because she's TWELVE!!

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

{a week in pictures}

 someone special turned eight!

 she started the day with her 8 kisses from all! then to the birthday table with the candle lit and the "baby" photo, just to see how much she has grown!
next to presents...the bean bag was a hit!

next the gypsies arrive for the birthday party...this time, off to the Botanical Gardens for a treasure hunt to beat all treasure hunts, complete with map, clues and a bit of rolling along the way!

 ...next, to the beach for a few days rest... teal waters

 beach yoga...

 beach knitting...

 

and some addictive late night puzzle behaviour...

God's Best Joke

For chicken two's seventh birthday we ventured to the aquarium. By far my favourite creature was this fellow, who must be God's best joke ever. Thank you thank you little guy for the great big laugh we all had at your expense!
