Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over and over and over...

Here is an actual jackjumper in our backyard - don't be fooled by the photo: he's as long as the end of my little finger, and bounces around really fast!

Breastfeeding is Not a Gentle Art

Pinching, pulling, grabbing, pushing, scratching, stretching back while still vacuum-sealed onto the nipple - Babies Are Not Gentle Creatures when it comes to nourishment.

Tangent: gazing out the window while pondering the wording, I noticed that the windy day is having some fun with the greenery - the wind is swooping up under the glorytree, the tree ferns and the leafed-up wisteria, as if it is choreographing everyting:
"And - lift! hold, shiver back down.. tremble, quiver, still....shiver and LIFT! wave, wave.. alright, FRENZY!!!

I'm easily amused :)

As we sign our past, present and future $$$ away..

house
my favourite room

I can't figure out how to insert the images themselves, so the links will have to do (hope they worked!)

Little vinyl-clad1960s which has had big rumpus added on, then big b/room and ensuite/laundry behind that; secure fenced yard (dogs will be v happy), sandpit, vege patch and fruit trees (fenced off from yard), some sheddage for hubby, 2 blocks from shops, 6 blocks from school, parks everywhere, flat part of the suburb - miraculous in Hobart!!
Happy Happy Joy Joy

I *see* a stash cupboard in the rumpus room - the doors are open - neatly labelled moth-prof plastic tubs hold jewel-rich colours - a hand-made needle-organiser peeks out from behind one door - knitting journals and pattern print-outs fill the folders shelved on the right, above drawers holding notions and accessories..... And the 3 yr old "resting" on the lounge in the room behind me squawks "Mu-u-um - Mu-ummy - Mu-um!" and the *vision* evaporates :)

Sunday Style Is...

a plastic bag on your head ~ J has nits, so I've spent the past hour applying green gel, wrapping in a plastic bag, unwrapping and washing with the shower hose, and combing through his hair, picking out eggs. I deserve some of that chocolate now, so I'm going to have it. so ner.
PS we're taking the plunge into deep debt woo hoo! & oh boy... :) Top

Still striping along

Yesterday, 5.30pm-ish - 2nd heel flap!








Last night, having turned the heel twice because I dropped 3 stitches off the end of the needle on the second-last row...
