oops......

well, no more 'pop-ins' were managed I'm afraid......

I was busy having WAY too much fun with the fam......

and shopping at some of my favourite places......

{had to boost the fabric stash you know.......}

we lazed, we shopped, we had a party......

we swam {well certain people swam..... I, however, observed,

dabbled my feet in the water and enjoyed the sunshine......},

we hung out, we drank coffee {and I realised that I do, infact, 

like iced coffee when the temperature hits the mid 80's.....}

many games of pool were played, trampolining was enjoyed....

{though there was a bit of an accident involving evie and her elbow....

needless to say she is NEVER getting on a trampoline again.....}

lots of photographs were taken and a little knitting was accomplished.....

 

a friend {who now lives in southern california} asked if

I could make a few extra clothes for a little rabbit I had knitted

and gifted to her daughter a few years ago.....

actually, this is lucy when she was first made.....

so I decided to use some of our 'driving time' to knit up some extra 'little bits'......

{we completed around 3,000 miles of driving on our road trip for this 

holiday.......and I got to sit back and relax for every single one of them......}

Lucy ended up with a new top {knitted the same as the dress but with the white

band omitted to make it shorter} and a pair of capri pants to match......

she also got a new jumper and skirt set {ooooo my......}

and I knitted a tiny little rabbit a few weeks ago

 for her to have as her own soft toy.....

 

I have come home with a little list of 'extras' which mathilda would

like to add to lucy's trousseau, so my needles will continue to 

clickety-clack for a while longer.....

{and I also cast on for a little manly vest......

because people are having babies in this part of the world you know.....}
