    Thanks guys. I am having a mare at work this week, really hate it today and want to go home.

    I had a great idea for my sock pigs to make others last night so am going to have a go at that this weekend, just need to buy some socks. I'll post pics when I've done it.

    I'm going to go for a run shortly, hoping to get rid of some aggression from this place on the treadmill lol.

    It's the weekend then and I think we are painting Dd1's room so perhaps a good clearout of her crap is in order.

    Can't wait to see the pigs, they sound really cool.

    Sounds like you are doing good with your running as well. Have a great weekend.

    Am hoping to make some pigs tonight. We're in the middle of decorating today, and the house looks like a bomb has hit it!

    My house still looks like a tip, but a "shoved into corners" tip so will start again tomorrow. We do have a freshly painted room for dd1 and the bin outside is overflowing so it must all be going in the right direction lol.

    I've made two sock piggies tonight and will post pics tomorrow. They're too cute and a bit addictive, already have ideas on how to transform the pattern into one that is customised by me.

    I've been expanding my designs. The sock pigs are from a pattern I found in a book, but the cat, owl and lamb are my own customisations.
