Tonka Toy Joy ~

Our front yard has become a place for Tonka Toy fun, except these are bigger than the ones I remember from my childhood. Trucks and a backhoe, lots of dirt and gravel everywhere.

Every guy in the neighborhood drawn like a magnet to the smell of diesel and sound of these engines.

Boys and their toys...


I'm going back to my knitting...

(Sorry to answer here, but the email bounced.) My red hat is such a nice color that my hubby likes it. (He's an 80's neon sort of bloke, normally!) I got my drop spindle at the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Festival last year, and then spent some tax return on an Ashford Traditional off ebay. Had to figure out how to use it, and then my belly/son got in the way for a while. So I'm not too practiced, but I do like having a go. I like the navajo plying, though I'm not good enough to spin in thinly yet, so three plies is pretty thick. Nice quick hat, though! hehe.


Your yard is looking like halfway through Backyard Blitz ;) My nearly-3yo, Byron, would LOVE a "real little Tonka Truck" like that, and I think he'd be pretty happy to come live at your place right now. Wouldn't miss me at all! His one Tonka dump truck gets a lot of use.

HI- I discovered that too- the email I`ve written to you bounces back:-(
What is going on in you front yard? Must be something since all the machinery and men kicking wheels.
