Toby had a good birthday on tuesday - unlimited Green & Blacks chocolate ice-cream softened in the microwave, lots of cuddles and tickles, a few cards and presents (which he's not so fussed about) and a dry afternoon for bouncing and bubbles after school - all the ingredients for happiness in Toby's book!
I'm feeling a little more positive too, thanks to a few indulgencies. When you're a little down there's nothing like treating yourself to something a little special. At least that's my thinking and my justification for buying some gorgeous new yarn for animal knitting.
It's Misti Alpaca's new and wonderfully soft 'best of nature' baby alpaca yarn hand-painted with natural dyes. I think it will make some beautiful bunnies and fabulous foxes (After I finish the batch that I'm still working on of course!)
I didn't stop there on the treats though! I've been admiring the beautiful and unique jewellery in Silverpebble's shop since she opened and when she listed her latest collection inspired by nature I fell in love with her viburnum berries necklace, so now it is mine!
I love that it's unique and naturally inspired but the thing that I love most is that it has 3 berries, because for me they'll symbolise the 3 people most precious to me; H, Amy and Toby.
