sketchbook monday

mitten. another mitten. better together.

colouring

the sun has at last got his hat on and we are all a little pink, except poor m who, toiling at the chalk face does not see the light of day monday to friday. fearing that woolens will soon be confined to the wardrobe i tried to take a photo of o-o and wee j wearing their splendidly colourful knitwear (courtesy of great auntie g), this is the result... captures them, tho' not the garments, well. wee j is clutching piece of splintery kindling, his current favourite toy.

as you know, o-o seems to favour the performing arts over the visual. however, the posh german 'ferby' pencil crayons * i bought have prompted a new enthusiasm for colouring, the test runs of the lucky print providing a  handy canvas. 

* recommended; they feel nice in the hand and  the colours are strong, i'm throwing out all of our lidless felt tips!

babywear meets world's strongest man meets gay pride

scheck out wee baby j sporting a new jumper made by (great) auntie g. where babywear meets world's strongest man meets gay pride - one hell of a venn diagram. sadly i was unable to capture his 'lifting the atlas stone' pooing face here. he's getting to be such a tough guy - i draw your attention to the cheeks, the chins and the arms. 'has he been eating raw eggs and chicken breasts for breakfast?' i hear you cry. breast milk is surely a doping scandal waiting to happen.

cosy tea time

well polyvore could prove quite addictive... 
even in june my thoughts turn to having a lovely cosy tea time. wouldn't it be lovely to cwtch up here? i'm off to a jumble sale tomorrow, hopefully i'll find some treasures. have a super weekend. x
