Late June around the house...

These last few weeks have been an emotional roller-coaster. Life has presented both sadness and joy. June 2012 you were full of surprises.

Crochet kitty

Remembering

• Sweet Reuben.  A little boy who made my Friday mornings fun. Your funeral was tough. You will be so dearly missed. I will remember how much you loved to sing, "What does the whale say? Whale says MMMMmmmmmm' and how lucky we were to have sunshine just about every single Friday.
• When I first started dating Mr Fox, so much reminiscing going on as we celebrated 10 years of happiness together. 
• To try and enjoy the winter coldness.

Loving

• Wearing all my winter woollies. Hats, gloves, scarves, cardigans....the whole kit and caboodle. Gotta love winter fashion. 
• Making progress on my crochet blanket and seeing my wool stash shrinking rather satisfyingly.
• Working on secret squirrel projects. Love making things for others.
• Lilly the cat snuggles; the best lap warmer.
• Hot water bottles and really cute hot water bottle covers.
• Showers, nothing better for cold bones than a long hot shower. Mmm.
• Hearing about Ma and Pa's home improvements. Can't wait to see them for myself.
• That Dad's operation was a success and that he is on his way back to feeling 100%

Shrinking stash

Granny hexagon blanket...(colours off in photo sorry)

Only 2 more big hexagons to go and then on to the littlies

Looking forward to

• Moving in August but enjoying soaking up all the wonderfulness that is our home right now. 
• Getting a tattoo this afternoon. Exciting.
• Little baby Arleigha turning one, how can that be?!! 
• Going out tonight with friends. Yay for the weekend.
• Hopefully getting tickets to see Die Die Die at the Winchester.
• All the birthdays in July.

Flowers and a cat who claims all crochet to be her own

Like a little hobbit valley at night
