'Jesus cross buns'

 We made hot cross buns on Monday (the last day I had all the little boys before Easter)
Often when Cameron draws he draws 'Jesus crosses' and he also makes them with building blocks etc. so to him they were called Jesus cross buns:)
 They were much enjoyed by all and I look forward to making them next year and the next. Benny loved them too so he will be waiting for next Easter too.

 I love this wooden lattice and gate in our outdoor eating area. It seems almost unbelievable that the plant growing up it has been there less than a year. I planted it soon after we moved in and didn't know how it would go because its quite a shaded area but its really taken off. I look forward to it getting big bushy and unruly!


I'm a bit late to yarn along because yesterday I was too busy knitting and binding off (and entertaining small children and keeping free range chickens off the garden etc.) to take photos
I finished my grey cable hoodie! Its pretty hot today so this is the only pic I've taken. Hoping for some cooler weather over the weekend so that I can wear it. It still needs some buttons, I might make some wooden ones perhaps.
I keep forgetting to add the book I'm reading with yarn along! This week I've been reading-

Work and Play in Early Childhood - being that my town has no book shop I often order books over the net. This book was a lot shorter than I expected but was a nice little read all the same

What is in a Waldorf  Kindergarten- Ive only just started this but its nice so far and has beautiful and inspiring photos (I couldn't resist looking at all the pictures before beginning it)

Ive also been getting some audio books on my IPhone. This is a fabulous new find for me as I have always loved being read to and I can do all sorts of things while I listen. It makes cleaning up the kitchen much more fun:) Ive listened to Jane Eyre which I found fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the language used and found it quite funny that I started thinking in sentences with large words quite naturally by the time I got a few hours into the story.

  3. Can you believe as old as I am I have never made 'Jesus buns'? I've never even made hot cross buns... What's with that. I see photos like yours and am convinced I'd better do it this year!

    Your sweater is amazing and looks fabulous on you. Let us see another picture when you've commited to buttons.

    My daughter recently listened to Gone with the Wind with her phone ap. You young 'uns! Pretty crazy what those phones can do.

    Blessings, Debbie

  6. Audio books are great! we have loads at our library - and I get them for the boys for those longer car trips - makes all the difference!!
    Your hot cross buns look yummy and your cardigan is divine - you are such a clever girl!
