Easter Break!

Hello everyone, how are you all.  I have been busy lately but nothing too stressful, just rushing around doing things here and there, with some work thrown in for good measure.  I babysat my twin nephew and niece which was wonderful.  They are nearly 4 months old now and are growing up so fast.  I just went through my knitting stash and put together some easter presents for them since they cant eat chocolate.  I also put some together for my 2 yr old twin nephews and their little brother who is nearly 8 months old.  They are moving down here in a few weeks permanently so I will get to see lots of them, and babysit them 1 day a week.

Isabelle finishes school tomorrow.  She has been tired this term with playing 3 netball games a week which 1 game is like an intense training session.  Next term (in about 2 weeks time) she will be playing another game as well, and her dancing on a Friday night so she will be super tired.  I am hoping she adjusts much better next term as she gets a little cranky and worn down with it all.

Tomorrow afternoon my niece is coming to have a sleepover for 2 nights and on Good Friday we will be doing an easter egg hunt in a local park.  I am hoping it doesnt rain too much on that day or otherwise I wont be taking them.

Knitting - up above are my Mabel socks designed by Yarnivore who is on ravelry.  I really love this pattern as it is quite easy, but the color of the yarn makes it harder for me to knit on at night unless I sit directly under the light.  I have noticed that my eyesight is not as good as it was a year ago now.  I have to hold something out at arm's length to read the super tiny writing, otherwise I have to put glasses on to read it.  Must be an age thing I guess since the kids keep telling me in 5.5 years I will be 50!!!  So the yarn is Soft Like Kittens in a beautiful red color.  Annette dyes up beautiful yarns and her prices are very reasonable.  She is in NZ, and hosts the podcast Gentle Ribbing which I really enjoy.  I am hoping over the easter break to get 1 sock finished but we will see how we go.

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it and I will pop back after the holidays.
