All done! The girls have had their birthdays, and their birthday parties, so that's that for another year. Ivy's party was lovely in the event - she had hoped to have a picnic in the park but it's been a wet week (month) and the weather is still unsettled, so we had to move it into the house. Instead we had an indoor floor picnic, decorated biscuits, and the girls did lots of running around and giggling. There were about 10 children in all, a few of Ivy's best friends, Hazel's best friends, and the girls' two cousins who were visiting. I made a few bits of fun, fresh, colourful food, and had some nice coffees and chats with the parents. I'm slowly shedding my self-consciousness and enjoyed throwing Ivy's little party.
Will's sister and her family went home yesterday afternoon after visiting the weekend, but there's only a brief window of quiet as my Mum is arriving this evening - her first chance to visit in months - and staying for the week, and then Will's other sister is arriving on Friday and staying until Monday, so we'll have a full house all week.
I've begun work on the girls' scrappy cardigans. I'm doing them both at the same time - one back, then the other, one front, then the other - which I know bores me to tears, but is both the fairest and most efficient way of doing it. I'll be working on these for some weeks, there's no rush really. It would be nice if they're finished ready for the new term but that's being optimistic as I'm not a fast knitter.
That's all for now, I have sheets to wash and still a bit of party debris to tidy up before my mum arrives. I still have the tail end of this cough and am worn out with it but hopefully will improve soon.
