The boy skateboards...

Today was a good day.  I am feeling almost totally pain free.  I just have to get my sutures out in a few days.  Can't wait.  They are so annoying.  

So what did I do yesterday and today?  I cut out heaps of stuff for the upcoming market at Pataka (20th November from 10am-3pm).  I will have some hefty sewing to do over the next week (because I cut out 28 tops today plus 3 kids panel hoodies and 2 women's panel hoodies...).  Yesterday I cut out and made up 11 knit scarves from scraps of merino, cotton and viscose knits that have been lurking around in my fabric stash for several years now... They look fabulous, and I want to keep each and every one of them. They are reversible and each is made of two contrasting fabrics.  I am aiming to take heaps of photos since I have actually been good at taking photos of nearly EVERY event in our life over the past few months.

On the scarf, hoodie, knit note, I know it is getting into summer... but to be honest, hoodies and knits are my strong point.  Knits are my thing.  And besides, I live in Wellington.  I can wear a knit scarf almost any day of the year in this city. So there. Justified.  They are also a perfect present for (dare I say it) Christmas, whether for someone else or just something you fancy for yourself.  I will be modeling one on market day :)

Tonight was a good night.  We ate Vietnamese salad rolls with prawns (yum)!  And then the man took the boy out for his first skateboarding experience.  Skateboarding has quite a bit of history in my family, and both of my brothers were/are avid skaters.  I also used to skateboard back in my youth... low-riding baggy jeans and all.  That is what you do when both of your brothers skate.  Matt has also been skating since he was a kid, so needless to say, Teo was destined to the board at some point.  

He is a total natural.  His stance is amazing and his grin is huge.  He and his dad will be heading off to the skate park this weekend if the weather is nice.  Should be awesome.

Awesome!!

And I feel ya on the stitches hatred. I cut mine out myself. ARGHHH. But I didn't realise the internal stitches weren't meant to be protruding from the incision so that got infected. YUCK. Still waiting for that to sort itself out. It's a bit lumpy. I'm just hoping it'll be alright.

Yay for the skateboarding!!

Yea, the sutures sure are not comfortable. Still a few days yet, but I will be taking them out over the weekend. Can't wait another week! By they way, it was 19 degrees + in Wellywood today, no wind, no clouds. Boo yah! Tomorrow is supposed to be another cracker of a day, and guess who happens to have the day off? xoxoxo

Goodness, just look at your little man, Charlie called him a 'cool skateboard kid'. xx

He was rather pleased with himself, and his Dad was so stoked. We took him to the skatepark and after a bit of going back and forth while standing up, he sat down on the board and started sliding up and down the little ramps. It was SO funny. I must admit that it looked like heaps of fun...
