Mind you, have nearly finished the Blighter's cardi - just the button bands and sewing up to do and it's done; and only 3 months before she grows out of it probably. Oh well, such is kniting for children.
Her skirt was going really well too, except I left it out for her to try on and she managed to twang a bit of elastic in the waistband and the whole lot collapsed. Which just goes to show how amateurish my dressmaking is :-)
Working on that too. In fact, will be working on that toot sweet, as the Russians say, so will go and get on with it now.
Fwooooom! That was me rushing off to the sewing machine........

Clothing the family
Turns out that although I cannot knit much, and have been sadly neglecting the Blighter's cardigan (and only half a sleeve and finishing to go), I have still been crafty. She is the proud owner of a new skirt. Made entirely off the top of my head - and I dont mean it's all hairy and skull-like - but she picked the colours from my slowly growing fabric stash and I finished it tonight. Picture tomorrow, I hope.
I say 'proud owner' but knowing my luck, she'll take one look and say ' I don't like it' in a whiny voice, then huff and stamp off through the house, which is the latest protest.
4 going on 14, oh yes.
Still, reminds me what I used to be like, and is mostly funny :-)
PS saw this on www.b3ta.com and couldnt resist:

Being Rubbish
Well, it turns out that I am rubbish at keeping a blog. That is no surprise to me, given that I have the attention span of an amnesiac goldfish, so the fact that I am typing just now is amazing. The corrections, typos and spelling mistakes are not surprising.
I suppose life would be a bit less strenuous if I wasnt trying to keep a house and family afloat with little help from my poor soul of a hubby, who has been battling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or whatever evil equivalent is draining all his energy and sap, and didnt have a stroppy head cold myself to contend with.
Hey ho. Not much we can do about it really except soldier on.
Note to self - Try to remember that the little annoying things will gang up on you and try to make your life a screaming frustrating misery, so step aside once in a while and take a detatched look - it really aint that bad. Himself is feeling far worse than you right now, but still manages to get a bit of work done. The Blighter is a gorgeous wee girl, with good manners, sense and a clever head on her shoulders.
Movement. Later. x
