Just finished

Just finished this little bunny for Baby D's first birthday in August.
I hope she enjoys her as much as I liked knitting her.

P.S Not long till moving day now.  Can't wait to get back to my usual blogging

And the packing continues...

That's one small child ready to move. Just need to find a smaller box for Baby D.  

Use-it-up cake.

I couldn't resist sneaking some time away from sorting and packing to show you my baking.

Its a sandwich Battenburg!  Using up my almond essence, food colouring,  dried eggs, marzipan and silver balls. Phew! That'll save some packing space lol.

The plan is to eat it during a seaside picnic tomorrow.  I will try and pop back to tell you how it goes.

Popping in for a moment

 Sorry it's been so quiet here lately, but there is big news in the FHMH house after almost 6 years of waiting and bidding, we finally have been offered a Council Home!!!!! There has been much excitement and celebrating I can tell you.

 We are just waiting on confirmation which have been assured we will get on Friday and is just a "paperwork" thing, so it is definitely ours. We should get our first proper access on Monday and Our moving date is a week Friday! So we are having a huge dejunk and pack-a-thon here to get everything ready in time.

 I will post soon with some photo's of the new place.

Family picnic

On Sunday we headed to Victoria Country Park with all the in-laws for a big family picnic. We each brought something to eat and drink for everyone so it was quite a varied tasty feast. The weather was just perfect for sitting on the shore and chatting. Or in my case going beach-combing with my little SIL.

  

This is part of the famous Victoria Hospital which is in the centre of the site. It houses a lovely exhibition about Florence Nightingale who was quite involved with the building of the sight. If you have five minutes spare I recommend looking the park up on Wikipedia.

 I spent the afternoon beach combing with my SIL Rosie. I've blogged our finds over on my other blog - here.

 And finally a little peek at my current WIP - pink and white stripe jumper for Baby D. I'm knitting it for aged 1 year so it should do for the winter.

 And a quick project I just finished. A pair of multi color socks for DD using up a ball of interesting wool I picked up an age ago in a charity shop. They are really snugly and warn, perfect for colder weather.
