Today we had a little party for Baden, to celebrate his birthday. I made an Elmo cake and we had a barbecue. I put sparklers in the cake but when I went to light them I realised they were actually incense sticks, lol, so that will be a funny story to tell him one day.

I finally finished the jumper I was making for myself and have nearly finished a jumper I am making for Baden. Its cream...what was I thinking? but I had to buy extra wool and its a different dyelot and a different shade so the whole thing will need to be dyed anyway, just need to decide on a colour.

I want to get the painting finished this week too. I have a lot to do.
