Granny Squares

Thought I would show you what I have been doing over the past few days. Still resting at home on Doctors orders but I am one of these people who can't just sit and do nothing so I have been busy making Granny squares. This is how I have got on so far:

Picture is a little pale as the colours as so rich.  Not sure what colour to edge it with, think cream will be too pale in comparison to the rich colours and the teal I was going to use looks now like it clashes!  Will have to think about this while I complete the estimated 84 squares - 10 down another 74 to go.  Come to a halt now as I have used all of the 3 balls of wool I purchased.  This yarn is by Rowan and is extra fine Merino DK.  The wool is so amazing to use but I think this blanket will work out quite expensive as the wool is £4.95 a ball and I estimate I will need about 28 balls!  But just think how warm and snuggly it will be on a cold winters night all wrapped up in front of the fire!

Getting To Know You

Came across this blog a few days ago and thought I would join in.  What happens is every Sunday they list some questions, you copy and paste them in your post and give your answers.  Then you link your post on their blog.  Well here goes with this weeks questions:

1. Do you have a fetish?

     Does an obession with high heels count? lol

2. Do you sing in the shower?

     Nope

3. Who was your first crush?

     mmm, his name was Jason, having seen him recently I do wonder what on earth I was thinking of.  When it comes to men this is the story of my life really, enough said!

4. What do you think is the best manly trait a guy could have?

     Someone who makes me feel safe, protects me without overpowering and confining me.

5. Do you sleep naked?

     No

6. What do you do when (you think) no one is looking?

    

     Daydream

7. What's the first thing you do when you go online?

     If my Son has been on the laptop I reset the home page instead of some kids games site

8. Summer is.....?

     Too stuffy, don't mind the heat its just the 'close' feeling I don't like, oh & sunburn.  Like the sun just don't want to sit in it.  Lobster is so not my colour.

Hope that has given you a little insight to me!

Sunny Sunny Sunny

Oh wow, such great weather we are having.  Hope everyone is enjoying it.  We are having a lovely relaxing day.  Getting some crocheting done & looking on line to see about booking some Bank Holiday fun for next weekend. 

Come back later in the week to see if I have managed to bring all the plans together!

Mini Book Progress

Forgot to show you these pages of the kids mini books yesterday as i had not taken photos.  Here are the February pages for Freya's book:

Sorry about some of the glare from the photo, just couldn't get a decent picture!  Here is the cover for Liam's mini book, really boy papers - dinosaurs!

Have been working on a mini book for me.  This is one thing I have never done before.  I have never scrapped a LO about me, its always been about the kids.  Bit aprehensive about it but determined to do this book and record this part of my life.  I am doing a word book.  I have covered all of the pages and started to add a few embellishments.  Not sure what direction I am going with the book just yet but I'm sure with time I will get there.

Right off to bed now to see if I can get some must needed sleep.  Hugs x
