Animal-tastic Part I

Boncie had one of his little friend's parties today which was held at an animal farm. Here is Boncie holding a GuiniePig (and Dadda next to him with a baby chook). Here's Boncie again holding his fave. the bunny.
And again with bunny.
Feeding the sheep with Dadda.
The boys walking hand in hand back to the tractor ride.

Animal-tastic Part II

Playing on the toys. Boncie decided he wanted to play on the toys more than he wanted to ride the pony!!!! Think he also was not fond of riding the pony as he would have HAD to of worn a crash hat.....which would have messed up his hair!!!!!Practising how to hold your hands to feed the ducks

Gone Fishing!!

This was a little gift we gave Boncie about 6 months ago, however he was not really that interested in it. One of our Neighbours G, goes fishing a lot so now Boncie is really into telling us all about G and how he goes fishing. We thought this was the ideal time to produce this game. BINGO, he loves it and as you can see the concentration when fishing is so serious!!!!

GG Pups is so Generous

GG Pups is very generous to his little GGSon Boncie. We Visited him on the weekend and he knew Boncie LOVES to clean up around the house with Mumma and Dadda so he gave him his own little people's indoor brush, outdoor brush, mop and brush and shovel!!!! Naturally Boncie LOVES to sweep up all the time now and it's so much more easier with a broom that's his size. GG Pups got Boncie a pair of the new Mammoth Crocs to keep his tootsies nice and warm this winter.
He also got Boncie his first pair of wellies - modelled her by the two and only B1 and B2 - these are Boncie's security blanket equivalent and GGNan knitted them many year's ago - so special that Boncie loves them as she would have loved him!!
Finally GGPups gave Boncie a special drink bottle - this one glows in the dark!!

Projects of the Wollen Variety

I've been getting jiggy with the needles, here's some of the projects: This bundle of bits will become a topsey turby doll
The smaller brown and yellow striped item will be a bumble bee, the large yellow piece will be a banana in pjs
This will be a penguin for Boncie

This will be an octopuss
I also started to make a mohair scarf however Boncie pulled the needles out of what I had already knitted and presented me with the needles and said 'Look what I have done Mumma, I'm knitting for you'!!!! So the mohair scarf is on the back burners at this stage!

Let Them Eat Cake

Today Boncie wanted to make cake - so we did. He wanted to make chocolate cake. Hmmmm, what to do with the left over batter
Ah ha! Boncie's found a use for it.

The finished result

Off to Work

Boncie off to work on Scoop.

Who Needs a Pony!!

Boncie has no need for a pony, he has Dog Dog!! Dog Dog has Great Dane in him so he's HUGE. He's big enough, strong enough and willing to let Boncie ride him around!!

Are Coming Down the Stairs

Here are the bananas slips - they are coming along - still need to knit and attach the stem and also sew on eyes, nose and a mouth.

Take my Photo Dadda!!!!

Boncie asked Dadda to take his photo today - he even got the camera and handed it to Dadda to take his photo - so camera shy - NOT!!!! Here is him having his pic taken that he requested!!

Happy 1st Birthday Immy

Boncie went to Immy's first Birthday party today and they had a ball. Boncie said 'Mumma, Immy is my Cousin and I love her' - so cute. Immy is our God Daughter so I guess that kinda makes 'em Bro and Sis????

My Own Babushka Dolly just like Mumma's

Boncie LOVES my Babushka doll that Poodle got from me from Russia (pinkie in the below pic). He plays with pinkie from time to time under supervision as she's handmade and hand painted so she's very fragile. Poodle and I came home with Boncie's very own Babushka dolly the other day (bluey) - he loves her and says 'I have a big dolly like Mumma's little dolly - same!!!!

Walking the Dog....Dog

Ah Ha, an alteria motive.....toys to play on


Let's Get Knitting

It's freezing outside, the central heating is turned all the way up - the perfect conditions for knitting. Got out my knitting bag today and started knitting Boncie some Bananas in PJ's slippers. Ms Mobble Gobble's lovely Mum passed on the hand written pattern to me, so honoured. So have nearly completed the first slipper. My lovely Parents-In-Laws sent me this cute card as they know I love to knit
Dusted off knitting needles and wool - the handwritten patterns from Maurene
The first slipper, still WIP but nearly done. Watch this space for the completed project shortly. The second pattern that Maurene gave me is for bananas in PJ's coat hanger covers. Jelly's Mumma gave us two of Maurene's hand made coat hangers when Boncie was born. He LOVES these coat hangers and won't allow anything to be hung on them as he cannot see their body if they are used to hang up clothes! They are sitting up on his toy shelf, pride of place!!

Dogs go Wacko for Smackos

Boncie loves to feed Dog Dog and most mornings we feed Dog Dog his tin of food, followed by a whole bag of Smackos.

Escarogt!!

Boncie loves to collect snails and runs into his house most mornings to see if a snail has snuck in over night. BINGO! Boncie collects the snails and puts them in what he calls 'their house' which is over in the corner of the garden by a tree!!
