At last i have time to blog, have spent the last few days knitting like mad, the pink pair are ones i started before we moved and didnt get time to finish, so now they are!! The other pair, hand dyed by me, im real pleased with the way these have turned out, so neat!! Should be on the website this weekend, am working on a new pair now, in a gorgeous colour will be revealed when they are finished, and have a few ideas to try out too!!

what a stash!

Now this is a stash junkie!!! Found some pics of someones collection of lush products, my new obsession, i should be receiving another nice parcel of the stuff this week! If i got all my wool out i think it would be more than this though, in fact ill do that tomorrow as soon as have new batteries for camera!!

At last have woken up to a day full of sunshine!! Just on way to doctors, little man has got excema come up again so off to get some cream for him.
Post man has just delivered me a lovely bar of lush soap - smells of lemons so lush i could eat it!! Started on a new pair of longies last night in gorgeous turquoise and grape hand dyed by me bfl wool, and finished off a pair of pink ones with fluffy ruffles, pic to follow!! Also arrived in the post was my i-cord mill, fromhttp://www.dragonyarns.co.uk cant wait to give that a go later! Right must go - post some pics later!!

Right thats it for one day, am now going to order some kool-aid and probably some more wool(that i dont really need!), have a quick surf of ebay to see if there are any unmissable bargains, put the kids to bed, well one of them at least, do some knitting, am finishing a shrug for me for the summer, next summer i think! and then dh will be home with a bottle of wine for an hours chilling out before bed!

A few balls of my kool aid stash!!

How totally scrumptious is this???

Noro Kureyon, a bargain buy on ebay, have had a little project in mind for this, but not sure whether to make a bag for myself instead and felt it??

Well i am a happy bunny!! The postman woke up the twins this morning to bring me this delightful box of treats!

I have Demon in the Dark soap - mint and apple

Two Timing Tart bubble slice

Snake Oil massage bar

Dream on bath ballistic!!

They all smell divine, in fact so much so that i went straight back on the site and ordered some more, how much soap do i need?? I have three daughters and they will love it all too - apart from im never going to let them use it teehee!!

Had a good day today, we went into wandsworth to the shopping centre to buzz around for a bit, got some feel good food from Holland and Barrett, have been feeling rather under the weather lately so got some "capsules" to take from there which are going to make me feel better!!

One of my daughters has a friend to stay this week, another child in the house, but hey this house is huge, they could be having a party on the fifth floor and i wouldnt hear it downstairs!!

Took some more pics of my wool stash including my collection of hand dyed by myself bfl, to share with all you other junkies out there, and im sure there are plenty of you!!

The new addiction!!! LUSH!! www.lush.com

just cant get enough!

watch this space for photos of new"stash" coming next week!!!!

Addiction is bad!!!

A few more pics of my work!! The red and green ones i kool-aided myself they look real big here but they are real tiny shorts something like 0-3 months i think, the choc and mint ones are custom dyed wool by bright dyes, i have lots of that wool, the colour is scrummy! and finally the last one is kool-aid dyed by me, the wool is beautiful blue faced leicester, since finding this wool i cant bring myself to knit with anything else i love it to bits!! This was my first attempt at making a skort, not bad for a first attempt i dont think!

OK so this is me!!

This is me and dh at the twins naming ceremony in august 05, they are so so much bigger now, its crazy how time goes.
The other piccy is a pair of shorties i made before we moved, and havnt had time to get sara to put them on the website www.seahorseslacks.co.uk must get the measurements done and emailed off!!

Am aiming to try to get some knitting done this weekend, found another stash of wool last night which immediatley made me want to knit!!
The kids are after woolys for the winter, my girls (sam sophie and lauren 17,10,14) all want wooly socks and hats, and they want me to make them cos they are more colourful than the shop ones!
Yes i am another kool-aid queen!!!!
Dh is with the babies as i type doing his bit before he gets ready for work, i have been surfing for lush products as they are the new craze in this house!!
Going to the store next week and cant wait!!!!
