heading out

Some of the freesia bulbs in our garden have flowered and are basking in the sun by the geranium plant. Is there a nicer scent than these? Perhaps daphne, but they're a close second. Inspired by all the new flowers popping up in the garden, i made a small set of baby shoes to go in my shop today.

And yesterday, my mum dropped around a gift for Arlo- this beautiful jacket she knitted. I love it and he was rather pleased to wear it all day, too....

The pattern is from Debbie Bliss' Celtic Collection book. I love the little pockets, and shawl collar.

Tom and I are heading out of town tomorrow for a friend's 30th birthday party. Without children. Hope you have a great weekend too...

Great jacket made by your mum. I love the latest batch of baby shoes, esp the ones with the blue birds on them.

any acceleration in my previous schedule of childbearing will be directly attributable to you, my friend, these really cute little shoes, and your sweet pics of a+k :) i love, love that embroidered linen! and arlo looks great in his beautiful new jacket. your mother is such a great knitter! i have always wanted to try that sort of snowflake colorwork but have been too afraid!
