I have wine. I have crochet on my knee:-
I have been for a walk in my rainbow wellies with the toddler twinnage:-
We saw sheep whose wool was just begging to be shorn (in this unseasonably mild weather), spun, dyed, and knitted. The twinnage sweetly observed that someone had been drawing on the sheep, so I had to explain about marking them so everyone knows who owns them.
We came home and baked my deceptively-easy-chocolate-cake:-
…But I’m feeling bad. The twinnage, though adorable, have been, um, a tad challenging. I am not a shouty mummy, but I shouted. Sorry, twinnage.

January 23, 2014 at 2:25 pmTrue, I know. I just fear I’m turning into Shouty-Mother sometimes…

January 22, 2014 at 1:34 amWow, it seems to be growing very fast. The colours are so stricking against the black too, very stained glass window like, it works well. We all loose it sometimes with our children, don’t beat yourself up, it is only natural. Bet they loved the cake too. Would love to have the recipe please, seems to have risen amazingly well x

January 22, 2014 at 3:00 amYour project is so beautiful. I genuinely love your updates. I literally can’t wait to see the finished product!! I try really hard not to yell as well. But I did today, and I feel bad too. How old are your twins? My little gal is 26 months and she was so… moody. As was I.
The Twisted Yarn says
January 23, 2014 at 2:24 pmAwww, thank you. I’m trying to get it finished as quickly as possible (which is why I haven’t updated my blog for a couple of days)!
My twins are three. 26 months is a difficult age – just old enough to know what they want (sort of) and be able to do some things for themselves, but not yet old enough to manage their own emotions. I hope you and she are having a good day today.

January 23, 2014 at 2:19 pmThank you! The following day was easier, as following days generally are.
And thank you for complimenting the afghan, too. It’s grown even further, since.

January 23, 2014 at 4:39 pmI, too, look forward to your cake recipe. 🙂 You have your hands full with twins of that age — and we all shout from time to time. Doesn’t mean we’re bad people. You seem like a very good person to me. 🙂
