Busy, Busy, Busy!

No pretty new WIP photos today, apologies.

I've been busy setting up my new group on Ravelry (The Yarnival - come visit us!), and haven't had a lot of free time to pick p my needles. As a result, the impending bump's cardi is still languishing beside my chair, only 4 rows and 4 buttons short of completion. On top of the group, I have been working on getting my stash and accumulated tools, bits and bobs re-organised. My yarn stash outgrew its storage capacity, so - of course - I had to buy more storage (yarn diet?? Blasphemy!). In turn, this means that I'm going to have to pull everything out and get it in some semblance of order. The upside to this, is that it gives me a chance to properly update my stash page on Rav.

Of course, as Scottish readers will know, school returns next week - and with 2 boys in primary and a daughter entering nursery 5 afternoons a week (coupled with a very active 1 and a half year old, and a pregnancy), life has been utter madness the past few days. Shopping for school clothes with all 4 children in tow, all day spent up town equals some very tired, grumpy (but as always, in public at least, well behaved) children. And adults.

I'm still recovering...

The postman was kind enough to deliver a parcel of cheer-up goodness today though, courtesy of a lovely lady from the UKRAK board. A whole bundle of gorgeous child-oriented buttons, a skein of smooshy sock yarn, a 30% silk pashmina wrap and a box of luscious Godiva chocolates.

What more could a pregnant knitter ask for? (Well except maybe a housework fairy, but I've yet to see those on sale anywhere!)
