Wow, where has October gone! My baby is nearly 6 weeks old, I now live with a 3 year old and there has been much thinking about projects (and reading crafty-type books whilst breastfeeding) - if only I didn't waste so much time waiting for the baby to wake up!!
Some photos from our October...

| The first Irish Dancing competition! |
I've also managed to squeeze in some sewing. Another pencil roll for a birthday gift. Some
toy sacks to tidy the lego and baby toys (and one for another birthday gift).
I also made some pirate pants for Kelvin's pirate party (as well as a pirate sash). I used the
Sewing for Boys Kickin' Back Sweats pattern. It's a fabulous pattern since it only has two pieces!! I must admit, that I wasn't that enamoured with this book when it arrived but I have changed my mind since and have cut out several more pairs of pants to sew for Kelvin!
I have been knitting too and once I've finished my
Common Ground Cardi I have grand plans to knit myself a
Coastal Hoodie using this...

It's going to be a hard slog swapping from 12 ply knitting to 5 ply!

You are a machine, Ange! How you've managed to accomplish all this with a newborn and two littlies is astounding. Full credit to you, my friend! J x
Look at those great piccys - you even made that cake!!!

Happy knitting. I plan to do a cardi this summer. Lets hope I actually finish it by autumn!
If only it was possible to knit while holding a sleeping baby!
That coastal hoodie looks cool, and what an amazing pirate ship cake.
WOW. You sure have been keeping busy. Looks like all is going really well for you all. I am so glad. I suppose it is that family pirate attitude ;)
