Well - it's week three of the school holidays and how things have changed since week one. Dave started his new job on Monday - but not till the afternoon as his new boss broke her arm at the weekend and spent the morning in hospital. She also told him that she has resigned so they're looking for a new boss for him so that's all up in the air. He came home like a dog with three tails, he's got his first non-Renault company car for nearly 30 years - we now have a blue BMW for the next few months and they he gets to choose what he wants.
Haven't spent too much time in the Studio as it's not easy with the kids at home but I have done some hand quilting on the Brown Floating Stars quilt and it's now ready for the binding and label. The A Quilter Lives Here quilt is in progress with some of the hand quilting done and it's still in the hoop.
Picked up the new Dinosaur knitting patterns and started making the Diplodocus for Byron for Xmas, it's coming on really well. The body/neck/tail is done and stuffed (it's huge) and i've knitted three of the legs, so one leg and four feet to do.
I've also done the back of Sarahs Harry Potter jumper which is in Green with grey striping and a grey S for either Sarah or Slytherin.
Haven't done much so far this holiday but we did take the kids on the train to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to see the Staffordshire Hoard and the Egyptian exhibition, also went to Oasis and bought Sarah and I a new skirt each. Sarah met her friend in town yesterday and Mike played with Sophie in the park.
May go to the cinema tomorrow - kids want to see The Lorax so will probably go in the afternoon if its on.
Need to think of some more things to do over the hols that don't need the weather to be consistent. We will be going on holiday soon but Dave can't come as he can't get the time off work so close to starting.
Four weeks and counting.
Sally
