at our place

This week has been, impossible angles, dancing lessons (for me, faith is the teacher, she sure doesn't get her grace and balance from me!), lying down on the floor to take photos of tiny mushrooms in really public places, I get used to strange looks, speaking of which, Roghans been trying out a few strange looks of his own! Loving that rainbow that appeared on the carpet from the glass in the front door.

moth

This amazing moth flew into the house last night. Luckily I was just standing right there holding my camra!

The flash on my camra made it look really yellow in the 2nd picture but its true colour is closer to the 1st picture. This is probably something a technically savvy person could sort out in photoshop...

I am trying to find out what this moth is called but can't seem to so far. Does anyone know? I'll update when I find out.

Update: I emailed someone who knows about moths and am informed it is called 'the drinker' as the caterpillars drink drops of dew. This one is a female ( the males are smaller and browner ), and they usually fly in july and august.

Thankyou Liz for getting back to me so fast. Please go visit her site to see many many beautiful moth and butterfly photos as well as hundreds of other animals. My photo is going to be in the moth section now as they didn't have this species yet.

I've been having long days recently while Roghan is teething, up before the sun and to bed long after. Its all worth it for these glorious views though...

Good 'ole cornwall keeping us on our toes!

unravelling

I have really good intentions to only knit one thing at a time. To cast on, knit and cast off and really focus on that one item before even thinking of anything else. Of course this doesn't happen... ever. There's always that something that needs starting because its for a birthday or some other deadline, there's the projects that take for ever which need those little projects in between to keep your sanity, there's that stash of beautiful yarn in the corner of the room chanting - cast on, cast on, cast on, in a voice which it seems the rest of my family can't hear, then there's the oh so enticing 'to do' ravelry queue. This is all a long way of saying that I usually have loads 1 or 2 projects on the needles at any one time.

Sometimes though its time to face the truth. I will never ever finish some of those projects, some of them have been in the WIP pile for years. I made the decision to unravel, I thought it would be horrible (all those hours of work), but actually it was wonderfully liberating. I hadn't realise how much they had been hanging over me while they were sitting there. Now that yarn is all free again to become something new...

...andc now I have space in my basket.....

In the future I may want to do this where little helpers can't see me and get ideas.

gorgeous colours

I took so many photos of these gorgeous leaves, here are a few. I love the time of year when the leaves just start to turn but the grass is still green and the flowers are still blooming. It is all so beautiful.



at our place

This week has been, playing with sunbeams, snuggling on sheepskins, playing, exploring, wandering, building swimming pools for fairies, sitting out the rain, eagerly waiting (more on the chrysalisses (chrysalli?) in another post, and dogge loving x
