Happy 9th Birthday Liam and another yarn

 Happy Birthday to Liam.
It's become a tradition here for the birthday child to decorate their own cake.
We get very interesting masterpieces.
No cake for mummy as I had a weigh in the next morning.
I made a sock weight yarn this time.
spun from a ply of  EL X Merino and a ply of Coopworth.
Both fleeces I bought from Jane at Moseley Park.
A pair of socks for me.
The advantage of all this spinning is it is not possible to put food
in my mouth while using my hands to spin!

I had a great Weigh In on Thursday and lost 1.2kg
Putting me in the healthy weight range with a BMI of 25!
And under 70kgs!
And a total loss of over  20kgs.
To celebrate I went clothes shopping and bought myself a gorgeous new dress.
Only 4.7kgs to go to goal.

Your yarn is fabulous! I think you've got that spinning thing down pat. Happy Birthday to Liam - from the looks of that cake, he's pretty creative like his mommy! God Bless your day and family.

Hello! Gorgeous yarn. I was wondering if you are able to email me about the ipad? I am after a list of some worthwhile applications and thought you might have some you can suggest re. dysgraphia. Are you still homeschooling?
