The school holidays are coming to an end this weekend, come Monday we’ll be back to the school/work routines. It’s lovely to take the time together to make some meals a special celebration of the season, the holiday and just being together.
We love a pizza in this family, and now that autumn is here and the evenings are fine but cool, it’s the perfect time for cozying up in front of the pizza oven.Ready to come out…
Maia set the table for us, including picking a bunch of autumnal leaves and flowers and making little place setting name tags…
Of course, the pizza was delicious… there are never any complaints about eating dinner on pizza night!
And as you might have noticed in the first photo, dessert was also cooked over the open flame – well the marshmallows were anyway 🙂
If you follow me on Facebook you might have seen that I recently taught Maia to knit. She picked it up really quickly – I’ve tried and tried to teach her to crochet but it just hasn’t stuck – but she’s taken to knitting like a duck to water…
Don’t you love the look of concentration?
I found this really easy pattern to make a knitted bunny, which is basically just a square which you sew up in a triangle to make the head and then along the seam to make the body… that doesn’t make much sense, but you can find a much better explanation here!
Stuffing the body…And sewing the final seam:
Love that tongue!
Here’s the finished bunny, cute huh…Pretty nifty how two of the corners make the ears! Im thinking it would work just as well with a crochet square, and even better if you had a furry yarn. She was very pleased with herself, and I am very proud of her yarny creating 🙂
For me, Im working on sock two of my second pair of socks, this pair is MUCH easier than the first was!This is taken this morning, while having breakfast. Green smoothie and blueberry and apple pancake squares… the raspberries have finally finished for the season.
Don’t you love the colors, these self striping yarns are awesome!
What’s going on at your place, what are you working on?
