Day 86: Even Under the Mud...
The Imp got to play in the mud at nursery today, and I guess she was rolling in it. There is mud in her hair and spattered all over her face, but she's had a fantastic time. She's still gorgeous, even under all of that mud.

Day 84: My Quickest Project
Today I fancied finding a project for some of my favourite aran wool, and found a quick and easy pattern for some Mary Jane slippers from OhMyGoodKnits. I was rather shocked at how easy they were, and that they took me only about three hours to complete.

Day 81: Once a Babywearer, Always a Babywearer
The Imp hasn't spent any real time in a sling for about a year and a half now, but today we had to improvise one. Little Miss is completely partied out, after a party yesterday afternoon and another one this morning. An unplanned journey to Newark did her in, so after a bit of thought, the cure for her grizzles was for us to buy three metres of velour and tie it like a wrap sling to give her a bit of a break from it all. I directed this photo to be taken by her Grumpy on my phone.

Day 77: Springtime on the Waterside
Since the weather has been mild over the past few days, I stopped on my stomp to college this morning to observe the difference that the beginning of spring has had on the Lindum hill bridge that crosses near the Waterside in comparison with the snow that I previously photographed.

Day 76: First Bolognaisse
It is the ultimate trail of destruction. Jim, Petra, and Baby Alex came to visit for lunch today, and they do baby led weaning to introduce him to food. Today, he was introduced to Auntie Mel's pasta bolognaisse. After The Imp repeatedly put his pasta back into his bowl, he actually ate every last bite.

Day 75: Making birthday gifts
The Imp is all of a sudden a social butterfly, and starting with next weekend has three birthday parties for four little girls to attend. Because I'm on my crochet kick, I've decided to make them each a little bag, and I'm experimenting with Hello Kitty and some new-to-me techniques. Hmm...I reckon I've made this one just a touch too big, and I must have one for myself because it's turned out so pretty :P

Day 71: Bunny Bag!
I'm quite pleased to announce that I've managed to finish a project, even if I did have to improvise (a lot). The Imp spotted me looking at the pattern for a Peeps-a-Boo bag from Caron Yarns. I couldn't quite suss out how they did their granny squares, so I went for the basic ones that I know how to do. The Imp chose the pastel wool for something else, she wanted it to be a messenger-style bag like what I carry, and I don't yet own a tapestry needle, so the eyes and nose are buttons. I'm actually quite pleased with how it's turned out...she'll love to see it done in the morning.

Day 67: Tender Loving Care
The Imp has woken up with an ear ache this morning, and after curling up in bed with me, I looked over to see that Loki was trying to help make her feel better by wrapping himself around her head and purring as loudly as possible. He's never done this for either of us, so it was a rather lovely surprise.

Day 66: One of my hiding places
(Friday photo, day late)
It was a bit of a low day for me, so at lunch break I went to one of my favourite places in the college to relax. This is in the library, in a corner that I've not seen many people in. It's by a window, so I get good mobile reception the the wifi hotspot to connect my netbook.

Day 62: Big Eyes
It's been another slow day for us, as I have a cold and am supposed to be revising for a GCSE exam tomorrow. So I thought today's photo would be another attempt at photographing one of the cats without the day-glo gleam in the eyes. So far, just hoping that there's enough light in the room to take it without the flash seems to be the only option, and then adjusting the contrast.

Day 61: Concentration
Today was Grumpy Saturday, and we've spent the day shopping, and having a late lunch. Whilst waiting for her food, the Imp happily got stuck in with colouring the mat. I love the level of concentration that it requires for her to work on the precision of colouring, and it's a good thing that I keep a box of Crayola's in my handbag, because the four colours of the free crayons just aren't enough for her liking.
