It was all about gender stereotyping at the Wool Palace this weekend.
While Josie and I made fairy cakes
Sam and Toby made an Airfix model.
We were all united by our loud singing along to The Kaiser Chiefs while we worked and we did get together to admire our handiwork at the end.
Thank you for all your lovely comments on the mittens. I will do a more in depth post on them tomorrow. For now, Toby has an urgent need to arrange an ice climbing trip and needs to send emails and so on so I must leave it at that for tonight.
Off to do some project planning I think.
Very glitzy cakes! I used to love doing airfix models as a child, I didn't know that you could still buy them!

What are fairy cakes??

Wow- those cakes look so yummy!! Nothing wrong either, with a little gender specific activity!
I know what you mean about looking forward to a new project. After the finishathon, I am happy to take my time with the retro ribs and pearl buck. Do you know anyone else who is knitting that sweater? I am loving it!

Sam's making chocolate ones with maltesers on top in DT at school today! I'm really looking forward to one with a large cup of tea later....

Now those are what I call proper colour fairy cakes! It's my DHs birthday next week, I bet he'd love some.
Congratulations on the mittens. They sure do look like a lot of effort went into them!
