We're getting close to the end of the school holidays. There's just this Easter weekend left and then it's back to school and the usual weekly routines again.
We've certainly been a lot busier these school holidays and there's even been more sleepovers so we've had kids coming and going constantly.
I've finished another lovely scarf. This one is in the last of my pecan alpaca yarn that I have and is really beautiful to work with.
I did have a small amount leftover which wasn't enough to make a big project.
In the end I decided not to waste the yarn and make something in alpaca that I can wear myself this winter so I made up the lacy scarf you see below.
It's not very long because of the amount of yarn I had left but it does wrap around the neck nicely and isn't bulky so I'm really looking forward to wearing this one a few times when the weather gets a bit cooler.
We also had our usual trip to the zoo. Little Miss R loves to ride the horses and they're only there on the school holidays so we try to give her at least one ride per holiday.
There's also a 4 month old cheetah cub that the kids were so excited to see. They loved the fact that it was sleeping with it's head on a blue whale toy which was very cute.
There is usually some kind of activity on at the zoo during the school holidays. This Easter weekend it was a hunt for hidden clues.
The kids were given a small 3D thingy and had to read the clue on the card they were given at the entrance.
From there they had to find the animal enclosure in the clue and there was a board with another hidden clue on it. Around the zoo we went to different enclosures until we got to the last clue which had a special phrase on it.
Armed with the phrase we went to the information desk and they got to pick a small prize from a treasure chest which was pretty exciting. There were tiny little koala animals, fridge magnets, arm bands, stationery (zoo themed) and animal stamps to choose from.
We have movie plans (Power Rangers for the boys, Beauty and the Beast for the girls) , Easter Sunday to enjoy then hopefully a quiet day on Easter Monday before heading back to school. Then I can hopefully get a little bit more crochet done as I've sorted through and organised my yarn as well as my patterns this holidays.
Everything's much easier and nicer to find now and of course I got plenty of inspiration for more projects with some of the lovely yarn that I had forgotten I had.
I hope you are all having a lovely and safe holiday.
