May Days

 Sunny, shiny May Days. The sunshine was oh so glorious this month. The clearest blue skies, the chill in the air, the colours all around and the falling leaves. We had many wonderful moments throwing handfuls of colour in the air and giggling as leaves landed on our heads... 'more pease mum'

                                                                        but no crochet........

 Returning to the kitchen. The smells of baking, warm cinnamon and sweet appley goodness wafting through the house. Mmm, we return to cake; Sicilian Apple Cake. I've learned to make cake with one child on hip and one hand doing the rest! The result? An afternoon of delightful kitchen happiness, lots of sticky fingers and a beautiful afternoon tea

but no crochet.............

Crocheted yarn bombing in the local park ......... not my crochet

'FUN' watching long autumn shadows swinging in the park.....

 but still no crochet

My cumquat tree has broken it's 15 year drought and I have.....

EDITED TO ADD......

Here it 'tis! 100% pure wool, 2 strands, size 4 hook, 3hrs and lots of excitement later and we have a beanie. After much procrastination as I am prone to, I finally took a deep breath and just started. It was actually really easy and fits so snuggly on Little R's head, down over his ears and covers his neck........ oh so cozy for these cold winter days.
