Aquadraw

We went to our friends' son's 2nd birthday party, where one of the presents was an Aquadraw. Fabulous invention, the Aquadraw. Anyway, I looked down and Zac was carefully writing out the names of himself and other family members. He couldn't write until very recently, so I'm proud.

Self portrait

I can see why it's a good idea to do these regularly throughout the 365 project. What I don't like, though, is the fact that I seem to look more tired in each one I do.

Cupcakes

It's my friend Liz's birthday on Saturday, but she's going to a wedding so I'll only see her tomorrow. What with it being the year of the home-made present, I made her these cupcakes this evening. I bought a special box and everything!

Snack time

This week, I am mostly snacking on apples and oranges. The apples are gorgeous this week. When the organic box scheme lady called to do a customer satisfaction survey yesterday, I was particularly careful to mention the yummy apples.

Winter sun

And Tabby, hiding from me behind a post-it note. She likes me to draw on them while we wait in the car for the older children to finish at school. Mainly she asks me to draw babies, and highchairs, and then draw babies in highchairs.

Coaster

Leah gave this to me because she found it in a gift shop and felt it accurately sums up our lives. It does! She has a matching one...

More creating

I knitted this hot-water-bottle cover for my friend Amelia's birthday and finished it this morning. I was supposed to be handing it over in person tonight on her birthday night out, but alas Yasmine's not very well and Tabitha was already under the weather, so I'm staying home to assist husband in coping with them. I've packaged up the gift to post on Monday, so hopefully it'll be a cheering if belated surprise.
