Over the rainbow…of gnomes

Well it looks like I’m not the only one in my family who loves gnomes!

The finally finished rainbow of gnomies has been a huge hit with both Master D… (sorry about the pic – he was so quick!)

And Little Miss Q…

They even went on an outing today, to our Maternal and Child Health Centre, because Master D thought they would help Little Miss Q with her shots. My poor bubba hasn’t been so happy this afternoon though, Master D tried to cheer her up by sharing his blocks… She is sleeping now thankfully.

Somehow this past week, as well as finishing the gnomes, I also finished reading A Game of Thrones! What a book!! We went straight to the shops to buy the next one (the wait for a copy at my local library is 27 people long and I just can’t wait that long!).

And I’m still reading Beyond the Rainbow Bridge… slowly digesting the wonderful ideas.

Sorry no pic of the book, it is in the room that Little Miss Q is sleeping in!

What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining in with Ginny’s Yarn Along.

On the ‘go slow’

Since Christmas my crafting, knitting and baking pursuits have all been on the go slow.

My rainbow of gnomes is still slowly emerging. I’m knitting the violet gnome at the moment, and starting to sew them up.

Master D found red and orange, so they’ve already had rides in his truck and been nibbled by Little Miss Q. I hope reading about their slow emergence isn’t too painful for you all! (And yes I did knit one more bunny to make it a family of three for Little Miss Q).

One thing I have been enjoying over the past two weeks is reading. I’m loving A Game of Thrones. It has a fantastic Machiavellian plot 😉 And I luckily found some time at the beach to enjoy it’s twists and turns. And I’m also enjoying Beyond the Rainbow Bridge which I received at Christmas (thank you Husband of Mine).

Oh, and I have two bubs to knit for – I just found out an old school friend of mine is expecting and also a friend from work is, so I have to find a blanket or toy to knit for each of them. I might do a sampler style baby blanket like I made for Little Miss Q… but not sure yet…

Joining in with the Yarn Along 🙂

Warmly, Kelly
