not the intended post...
but hopefully pleasing to the eye!
I've been working on Maddies little crochet hound over the weekend - well saturday night to be precise, in order to have him up for display today. All finished, stuffed and sewn. Little jumper made for him too - I've just got to sew it up around the body and then he's done. Might as well wait until he's completely finished before I show him off. (I'm completely bigging this up - hope he's not a total anticlimax !) I just didn't get round to it on Sunday what with one thing and another, mainly the fact that the weather cheered up and we decided to go for a lovely walk instead of chilling 'round the house. So glad we did, it was beautiful. Maddie stripped off down to a tee shirt half way round despite a distinct chill in the air....she is such an outdoor child, totally in her element when shoeless and grubby and free.
There is a country park near us with amazing trails to suit all abilities and desires. We chose the 'play trail' which was dotted with wonderful wooden structures, dens and secret paths for the children (and big kids ;)
my 'would you like to punch me ?' condescending smile (it was meant to be 'queenly' !)
Sounds and looks like you all had a lovely time in the woods.

I do so envy you Asti.. you live in such a beautiful part of the world and my thoughts and day dreams often wander to the Moor and the raw beauty of it all..
Love those rosy cheeks of Maddie's ... and the 'you're dismissed' smile of yours..

Hi Asti,
Looks like you girls had a great day! Your photos are making me long for green and warmer days. It has been a really cold winter here in Colorado so far!
