With Ian away these past two days (running an off-road 42km in Melbourne - he came 4th) I've worked hard to plan some activities away and at home. Between watching a mountain bike race in Bright, a lovely nature walk to collect items for painting with, painting some familiar words and playing with our guinea pigs, I also managed to sew two pairs of pyjama pants (matching of course!) and finish Bethany's Plum Pie vest (another Milo, this time in Sublime baby cashmere merino silk dk).
After these two wonderful days Rosie tells me, during our nightly "What's the best thing that happened today?" (known to us as just 'favourite thing of the day') at dinnertime, that creating artwork from natural materials was her favourite. And it was a real joy for me to see her happiness and engagement as we chose leaves and discussed native and introduced species. My 'favourite thing of the day' was seeing little Bethany in her new vest playing happily alongside her big sister.
It was a special time for all of us.
