Good morning everyone.

Mrs Moneypenny - hope your head is not so sore now and that your concussion has gone.

I have just started knitting a blue dinosaur (a Jean Greenhowe pattern) for the trauma toy challenge, plus I've started crocheting a bunting, so I can alternate between the two; it seems to help the tendonitis in my hands if I swap techniques over now and again and, also, crochet is so much quicker than knitting so I'm hoping I can be a bit more productive - you all seem to get so much done, it puts me to shame! Well done on the stunning totals!

Hope you all have a good day!

Morning all - hope that you are having a good day so far - Kathy, could you please add one more square - now 12! - only 28 to go until one blanket is finished!!!!

Have a lovely day

mrs-moneypenny

headaches are much less fequent now thank you Kathy. i can't believe i won yesterdays quiz:T the bang must have knocked some sense into me:rotfl: .

I've finally finished my jumper for chalky's challenge its a larger size than is needed so ive also brought a pack of 3 body suits to fit 3-6 months and added them to my parcel.

I got my sewing machine out yesterday and made 8 puffin P.E. bags well thats what my son thought i was making;) . i'd got a nice big piece of dark fabric that id had so long ive forgotten what i brought it for so its been turned into bags to give it a use.

i'm going to the post office this afternoon as i have lots of parcels to send off, shezmit there one for you, 2 for africa with squares in and the one for chalky is now wrapped up and ready to go.

Mrs Moneypenny - glad the headaches are getting better. Well done on the quiz -I'm glad you won it! You must have hated watching to see if anyone else was going to do it quicker!

It was very generous of you to buy the baby suits; I'm sure they'll be more than welcome.

I'm not so good at sewing but my Mum is doing some puffin P.E. bags (I love that name for them!)

Anyway, off for lunch, then a trip to the Post Office and then home for a couple of hours on the sofa with my knitting.

Hi everyone.

DPixie, Mrs Moneypenny, Gingernutmeg and Sylvia - thanks so much for your latest totals -you've all been so busy! I shall add them all when I update tomorrow morning.

After a busy morning, I'm enjoying a few hours on the sofa. Just stopped to make another cuppa and catch up on here. I'm putting eyes onto Shezmit's chicks, so they can find their way home to her at the weekend!

Hope you are all having a good day - I am, even though I'm freezing cold. The heating has just come on, thank goodness.

KathyXX
