Busy, Busy!

We've had a busy start to the Easter Holidays and have done lots of spring cleaning and clearing out so I'm still looking forward to a break! Still it's nice not to have to get up and dressed at break neck speed every morning.

We had a family day out yesterday to the Coventry Transport Museum which is currently home to the Dr Who Exhibition. We came face to face with Daleks,

Cybermen,

K9

and lots of other Dr Who characters.

On our way round the museum itself DS1 found lots of cars to add to the list of things he is going to buy when he is a grown up. He's going to need a really good job!


We also saw Thrust and Thrust 2 which has a simulator bit that W and I went on. DH stayed with the kids, who chickened out, as he's been on it before.


After the museum we found a lovely little garden just outside the entrance and had a picnic there before coming home via friends.

Today DD had an arts session at the local high school before going to a friends for the rest of the day. DS1 had a football day and DH and I bought a carpet for the stairs. Somehow I think the kids got the best deal there!

Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday are already booked up so I think it'll be next week before my break starts ;)

Twisted Knitting and More

Well I have finished my Twisted Olivia's and I am really pleased with them.

and in detail

the pattern is Cable Twist Socks by Adrian Bizilia, the yarn is by Babylonglegs and is the Olivia colourway. It's a great pattern to knit and will definatly stay in my queue.

Since finished them I have been working on my Spot Check Socks. They are my first venture into colourwork of any kind so I am taking my time with them and having fun.

I'm aiming to finished them for the end of May
