I WAS HOPING…..

 … to get into the garden today.However it is POURING with rain , so,, that is NOT happening! I have been in the garage and into the UFO pile…. I would like to say it is only a small pile. ….   but that is only in my dreams ! lol x

ANYWAY I found a pile of crochet squares, and I have begun the process of stitching them together….

.. there are some left…

Mmm not enough to make a full blanket… I did not keep a record SO I do not know which pattern I was using , or what size hook … need I say more!! 

I am going to find a small hook … it is all 4 ply. Wool , and begin working around the edges… and work it out as I go. lol Who needs a plan!

With the rising price of energy we all need blankets, I will be warm as I work and everyone else will be warm when I am finished … win win all round

AND my UFO pile will be very slightly smaller!

Stay safe

MY YOUNGEST GRADSON….

 … like many children has a towel with a hood that he LOVES, however it is getting far to small for him. His mum had “a chat “ with him and Father Christmas is going to bring a new one … green with a frog hat!! 

So  I did a little research and found a pattern to make a friend to go along with it..

I have to say the toes were a challenge. X lol BUT I love it x And hopefully so will he! (The towel is fun too x)

WE WOKE TO…

 …this view today…It is beautiful, however telling myself it is mist  (NO it is fog !) does not disguise the fact that Autumn is here x

I must finish off telling you how  we are developing the garden… remind me  lol .. while I was doing my morning walkabout I spotted these lovelies….

We brought a lot of ferns from my dads garden and some “friends” hitched a ride x It is lovely to see reminders of my parents coming to life in our new garden.

Stay safe

I AM ….

 … not normally a TV watcher, however, after the news of the death of The Queen I knew there was going to be some going on x

SO, it was off to the stash to find SOMETHING to keep my hands busy……… NOW I have a new blanket for my granddaughter…

J

It kept my hands occupied, used up (a very small amount ) of the stash… and gave me a diversion when it all got overwhelmingly x

There was some of this sparkly yarn left..

… so she has a bunny for her Christmas box too

Stay safe
