Shaz Sorry it's so painful for you. Massive hugs xxxxx

Shezmit I shall parcel up and send you what I've done so far so it can get on it's merry way to the hospitals. I shall concentrate on cardies & vent bonnets for now.

My sister in law is coming soon and we're going to have lunch then go for a mooch into town as I want of the 3 for £10 meat from M&S. I usually get whole chickens, bacon and the ever favourite mince on this offer :rotfl: so may try something different for a change!

Then home to the knitting and crochet :T

Edited to add: Chalky I have several 6" knitted squares that I did for the memory blanket before I decided to crochet them instead. Are they any use to you if I put a crochet border on to make them up to 8"? I didn't want to start without checking first.

Unexpected snow falling first thing this morning......

.......and what it looked like by late morning ..........
......and what it looks like now. The sun is blazing away in a beautiful blue sky and it's really warm; in fact warmer outside than in! I don't think it will last but it's been a day for looking out of the window and gazing at the view. Sadly, it's melting too fast to make a snowman.

I have been asked to mend a blanket for a colleagues 3 year old son, who is devastated because it has such a huge hole in it. There is a pic on my blog, I'm hoping to repair it this evening.
I'm still adding to the pile of squares, probably a couple of dozen done now.
Hugs to those in need.

Hester - that's a bit of a challenge but worth it as it means so much to a little boy. Hope your DH is feeling less sore now!

Anyone for Tea!!!
Just thought I would show you the final tea time collection. More pictures on my blog if you fancy ( no pun intended!) a look!
I have decided to make a drawstring bag to put them in add a purse and some pretend money and give them to my dear little Great Nephew so that he can have a pretend cake shop to play with. His mummy used to love playing shopping whenb she was at my Mums!!
If you look carefully at some of the fancy cakes the icing is made with a little Christmas special ruffle pattern !!




SunnyGirl Yes please . I am sure they will be lovely. Thank you to everyone else who has been busy with the squares. Its funny how life turns out as they have filled a lovely little space whilst we have been waiting for the next Challenge on Loving Hands.I wonder what is going to be there to tempt us all !!!

Kathy -- I think the first picture would make a lovely Christmas Card scene for you cards next year.
Shaz and anyone else spitting feathers hope things calm down soon!!!
Well just doing the outside border of the next Lapacuddlyghan and then onto puppies!!!

They look fantastic, Chalky, a real feast - I want ALL the chocolate ones!

shaz - how cheeky - i know its easy for someone else to say but dont let it upset you so much as last week - I stayed angry with my ex from 15 years ago - it helped - in fact im still angry with him to this day for what he did but i had the last laugh - im happy(ish - tee hee) i have a lovely hubby & son - big hugs & hang on in there xxx

chalky - they are fantastic & so neat - wish my attempt looked like that (they look crocheted though am I right?) - my attempts were knitted - what a great idea to put them in a bag with toy money - how do you think of all these lovely things you are very creative - my Mum is like you - her ideas always work out xxxx
kathy - oh picture postcard - good idea for it to be your xmas card for this year - not long now and then you will be in the same country as us all and be able to see your family - you said its warmer there - it is freezing here so pack your thermal knickers otherwise you might be knitting an extra set !!!!! xxxx
LC - hoping there has been improvement with your brother xxx

whoever said yesterday they were spring cleaning sent the spring fairy my way - ive been under my bed and in the bathroom cupboard (who puts empty bottles back in the cupboard!!!!) so far today - bathrooms cleaned and DS's surface damage in his bedroom tidied - I have a plan to get all the cupboards / drawers sorted - we had piles breading on most surfaces and in corners - we have lived here a year and all ready we are over flowing - problem ive got is this house has only one built in cupboard so its crammed inside and under our furniture iykwim ....... aaggghhhh

so tonight im having a knit and a read (treated myself to simply knitting magnot MS i know sorrrrrrryyyyyy)
Hope you all have a lovely evening - big hugs and gentle thoughts to all xxx
