Birthday, Easter & Visitors.....

I celebrated my 25Th birthday on Eater Sunday with my little princess,
GH(gorgeous husband) and my husbands family.

This was Natalie's first time at blowing out a birthday candle she was very excited!!

I had a really great day, I spent the day getting extra cuddles off my princess! Having Natalie share my birthday this year made it a birthday I will never forget!!

AS it was my little princess first Easter we brought her a Easter bunny teddy and let her play with my Easter eggs, watch out next year when she will be old enough for chocolate..... Hopefully some home made gifts will take the place of some of the chocolate.....


My Sister Jellywaresand her 2 girls, my Mum and my Sister Samantha came for a visit.
It was absolutely wonderful I enjoyed there stay so much if only we had more time. As I have been feeling abit homesick here in Bendigo. We moved to Bendigo in the start of January from Cobar and the last couple of months I have been really homesick as my GH(gorgeous husband) works in the mines on shift work. He works 7 days on followed by 7 days of followed by 7 nights on followed by 7 days off etc. The 7 days while he is at work takes for ever to finish and makes it abit lonely for me ad my princess....
We decided to hit the shops of Bendigo while the girls visited, we had a ball. I got some great bargain's for my little princess.
We also went to the Bendigo wool mills and stocked up on some of there beautiful wool. I got some purple, some pink and some navy wool. Iam thinking of making a little dress for my little princess and a couple of cardigan's and some toys....

April has been a very busy month for us here but I have had time to do abit of knitting.
I knitted up a few washcloths.

A Rose washcloth



A Easter bunny washcloth



A Butterfly washcloth


The washcloths where easy and quick to make.
I didn't like the yarn of the Easter bunny washcloth it was 'Patons washed haze'. I won't use this yarn again I found it didn't knit up very nice!!

I loved the butterfly washcoth and will make it again, I loved the yarn I used for it it would be nice knitted in a vest or even a shrug....

It will be my first mothers day this Sunday. Iam very excited s we are going to start a little tradition. I think GH will make breakfast with my little princess maybe pancakes as they are my favourite!!

What traditions do you have on mother's day??

  3. Great post Jen!!! It was soo good to come down to Bendigo for a visit last month... Don't worry it won't be long and you and your little family will be back home again, where you belong... *^_^*
    Love all of the knits too, you sure are flying through those washcloths, well done... Aren't they a great way to learn new things?? Next you'll have to try a nice lacy one or even one with cables would be fun!!! If you like we can start a couple at mum's this week...

    Take Care

  4. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme
    of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s
    very difficult to get that “perfect balance”
    between user friendliness and appearance.
    I must say you have done a awesome job with
    this.
    Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Firefox.
    Superb Blog!
