Last section on the baby cardigan

Thought I might just update my blog that has been deprived of attention lately. The photo shows that I'm working on the last leg of my baby jumper. Hope to get it done soon. Until then ...

Our shortest break

Earlier this month we had a really good break in KK Sabah, it was very short as the kids got sick on the third day and have just totally recovered and back at school today! Talk about being sick for that long , I just feel sick thinking about it!! Anyway I'm glad it's over and don't wish it on anyone at all!
We went to Tanjung Aru which is just a short drive from KK airport. As you can see from the photos, the sunset is simply amazing , I don't think I've ever seen anything quite as spectacular!!! The kiddies pool are awesome fun , of course I suspect this is where the kids might have caught the bug that has been hanging around like an unwanted guest for weeks!! Ah well, least they had fun !
However it also meant that we couldn't do other fun stuff like snorkeling or going out to the islands with their friends.
Anyway, the hotel was great, of all the restaurants, I think my favorite was Coco Joe's which is by the poolside and facing the sea. I could also see Sutera Harbour resort from where we sat. Another thing I did which was very decadent, was getting pampered at Chi the Spa! That place is just awesome! They have private suites and you have to walk through beautiful landscaped gardens to get to your room.. just for having a massage! There was a lot of activities for young and old, Ash chose crafty activities and I chose Pilates. One thing I did miss was the Yoga sessions early in the morning at the spa looking towards the ocean (photo above), I was too busy sleeping ...maybe next time!

Girlie crochet headbands

These headbands are so easy to make and very comfortable to wear! So far I've made 3 different sizes and in various colours and I can say by now I'm addicted! I've only used 8 ply cotton yarns that I bought from Lincraft at $3 a ball! I'm now slowly running out and may have to start experimenting with acrylic . Will see how I go with this!
The pattern is called Granny Stripe Headband and I got it from Tangled Happy! The pattern is free and is a great stash buster. Give it a try and inject some colours in your day!

Star Afghan - the continuation

I've been meaning to make this afghan bigger but couldn't find any matching yarn for it until Jennifer kindly gave her bendigo yarn to me, thanks Jennifer ! It's coming along slowly and I already like the looks of it! This is going to be a huge blanket! All the better to cosy up with! With that enjoy your weekend!

Neon Trees - 1983

Okay I've just finished a spin class this morning - so my adrenaline is telling me that I really love this song! Just makes me wanna spin faster! When I first heard it I thought the song was called 1993!

On another note , back in 1999, I got married to my hubby! So it was my 13th wedding anniversary yesterday I cannot believe how fast the time has flown , it certainly didn't feel like 13 years!
We gave each other a pair of matching 'pegasus air' runners, with the hope that we will use it for our daily /not so daily jog/run/walk. I find what works for me is to exercise daily if you can, but I need some variation , so I mix it with swimming , RPM or pump. So here's to fitness, health and a happy marriage!
