Shorties

Shorties Knitters, Chris Haplin

Chris Haplin, above, is new to the Shorties knitter pose,

She has knitted us a whole range of really gorgeous hoodies.

I asked my 5yr old son, Jasper, to model them for me, and here are the pictures.

He posed like models do (in his head), so funny.

He seems to have invented his own- free form modeling.

I must book him again soon, his payment was 30 mins on ABC 4 Kids website playing games.

I think he earned it.

But how divine are these knits, really nice and long in the body and a hood on a jumper is genius!

Mummy's favorite picture.

Jasper's favorite picture.

Daddy's favorite picture.

He sort of looks like a break dancing pixie. The knits are in a range of sizes 2, 4 and 6 and $45 each.

Blogs We Love (Things Organized Neatly)

There's something quite therapeutic about scrolling through the endless images of things organised very neatly on this blog. Suddenly you forget about unruly piles of laundry, and tables cluttered with mail, and you find yourself in a happy, happy place where everything is neat, tidy and orderly beyond belief. Heaven.

Okay, so the name of this blog might be a mouthful (I think it translates to the Fabulous World of Paper), and unless you can read Italian, the words will be lost on you. BUT this treasure trove of vintage paper models and dolls is just a beauty to behold. Incredible paper toys from all around the world, for boys and girls and grown ups too. We are obsessed!
