& Monkey Makes Two

Thought I would sneak in an entry to this months challenge over at Sarah's Cards.  

Made using the New Amy Tangerine collection Ready Set Go.  You can find the sketch here.

I Scrapped!!!

I know I can't quite believe it either.  Here is the one and only LO I have made in what seems like ages.  In at least a month to be honest.

Would like to sit down and start organizing my Christmas Album but a) my kit has not arrived yet and b) I don't have time; too much to do and kids under my feet.  No ME time on the horizon until at least next Friday but that's not a certainty as I have some big plans to get going for next year after I had some good news this week.  

The big decision I have been waiting for, the one thing that has kept my whole life in limbo for the last 3 months has finally been made.  Just hate it when plans rely on others and they go out of their way to make things difficult.  Well now its happening and should all be done and completed by Mid January and then the new life can begin!!!  Just so excited but can't exactly say what until I have something in my hand early next year when I know it has all happened. Its then the Big Birthday Bucket List can be made public. 

2013 WILL be good to us.

I really don't know where the past few weeks have gone.  I've hardly done any crafting yet I can't tell you what I have been doing.  Life I guess!  I have been busy on a couple of projects.  

I've knitting a hat, just need to sew it up and add the decoration which I am hoping to get done this week.  

Knitted 1 wrist warmer which only took me one day.

Worked on my Springtime Throw.

Worked on Rowan Cashmerino DK Granny Square blanket - now completed 30 squares.

And started a new blanket after I went away on holiday and ended up with no crochet but bags of new yarn.  I have completed 8 colours on this blanket.

Google Eyes

This week at the Child's Play Challenge site the inspiration is carft based; google eyes.  The minute I heard this I knew the exact photos I wanted to use.  Some photos of Freya pulling funny faces.  This is my LO:

LO made using Basic Grey's PB & J papers.  This takes my LOs made to 65, just another 35 to go then I can subscribe to a monthly kit.  To be honest I really haven't noticed much of a dent being made to my stash even though I have made 65 LOs.

Tuesday Tallies (16 October 2012)

This week I have again concentrated on my Rowan Cashmerino blanket. I crocheted the cream around the 9 squares I made last week.

 

I then made a further 6 squares.

 

 

This makes total squares made to 20.

I have spread these squares out on the bed and I need to make the blanket 8 x 12 squares to fit a single bed; 20 down, another 76 to go. Do you think I can manage to make 10 each week and have this blanket finished by the end of the year?  I should have enough to complete the blanket as I can't find any of the Rowan yarn; I did buy it over 2 1/2 years ago so I am not surprised really.  Will teach me to not hoard yarn and make one project before I get yarn for another or at least buy enough for the intended project!
