I was having a low day yesterday and decided to spend my time making James a pair of slippers. I had already bought two balls of “Fab Fur” some time ago with the intention of making some monster slippers, after seeing a pattern for Abominable Baby Slippers.

I had thought each slipper would take a ball of wool, as the Fab Fur is so thick, but I ran out half a row from the end. Fortunately Franklins still had a two balls left last night when we did our shopping. I couldn’t buy one ball and leave one lonely ball sitting there, could I? So I decided on a hat. It’s a shame James’ head is so round, because he really does look ridiculous in the hat. The wool is so thick it’s a bit like a helmet, but he’s happy!

Rachel played netball today it what must have been almost sleet. It was so cold and wet. My top half wasn’t too bad because I had a polar fleece on, but my bottom half was numb. My goodness it was cold. I would like to point out that the big tough AFL players on the oval next to us had their game cancelled!
