Day 2

A little project I finished this morning, not bad considering I only started it last night. It is made using some handdyed that I was sent as part of a Karma Swap on Ravelry, handdyed by Ozifarmer's Market.

Miss14 was NOT a willing model this morning, so the pictures are not great, in fact not even good, but I will endevour to get better pictures when Missy is in a better mood!

Blogtober -- my annual attempt

Ok, We all know I am not going to post a new post every day in October. In fact, I will probably make it to the end of the long weekend and give up. Or IF I make it past Monday it will become boring and you all will stop reading after Monday. But hey, I am going to give it a go anyway.

I was just about to clear my camera's card so I could head out and take photos of who knows what and was checking what was on there before deleting a heap of work photos which I no longer need. Jess had used my camera last weekend to play with, and it turns out she was trying to be kinda artsy. I will not pass judgment, what do I know anyway, but I have to ask why she needed to take photos of a strawberry? But again, what do I know?

Does this happen to everyone else? You try and take a sneaky photo of your children, catching them when they are not looking, just because they are cute, concentrating on something else.

And then they notice you have the camera and suddenly your lovely child turns into this?

Kids......

And Thankyou Ellbell for the loan of your Fixed 50mm Lense. I have talked the Husbeast into getting me one. It wont turn me into a master photographer, but it might make my sad little photos look a little better ;)

The Budding Photographer

What you will need:

To clean up in the study
To find an OLD digital camera in a box you had forgotten you owned
A small boy who wants to play with said camera
And NOT to mow your lawn for ages

What you will end up with:

A little boy's new bestest friend

We had a visitor over night last night.

IMG_1209

He had a dodgey wing that looked as though someone had taken a big bite. He was hiding in the long grass (which hasnt been mowed in AGES!) in our back yard and was spotted by Mr7. Mr7 apparently had been following him for about 15mins before he was certain it was safe to come and get Mum. So Mum, armed with a broom and a towel, preceeded to chase this little guy around the back yard, trying not to hurt him, but trying to catch him under the towel without getting hurt herself. Once we had him wrapped in a towel, we called WIRES, who told us we needed to keep him over night and drop him off to the Creeklands Vet in the morning. Alex gave up a toy box, we found some wire that we had used for keeping the old cat out of the fishtank, found some little dishes and tried to keep him warm and comfy.

A phone call to the Vet this afternoon and he is ok. He will get better, no broken bones but a lot of broken skin, and more than a few missing feathers, but he will get better. He is going to stay at a carers house in Uralla for a while 'til he is feeling better, then he will be let go. But we can go and visit him on the weekend, just so Alex can say Hi ;)
