Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Pippa.S

Hi peeps been MIA again so much going on this week
never had a birthday last almost a week before it was wonderful
I was well and truly spoilt

I popped in earlier but got yanked away to take DGS to the Zoo...o joy...but he had a lovely time and that was the main thing, and all the walking (3 hours of it:eek:) up and down hills must have done some good to my thighs and waistline surely :rotfl:He stayed over last night and I was a wicked Nanny I made him do his spellings, and read his book but he does love reading so that was no hardship for him, we delivered him back home about an hour ago now I intend to have a quiet evening on the sofa with some maltesers watching strictly, Xfactor and anything else that takes my fancy.


I see we have some newbies hello and welcome to you Donny-gal and Elizabeth we love to see new friends here
chalky - hope you are both well looks like you will be returning to Devon just before we jet off on the 9thDecember to meet some friends in Spain:cool:
jean - hope all goes well with the latest scan glad to hear he is smiling a lot. I love the bootees and the jazzy ones are just the job cheer anyone up they would, how lovely surprise visitors enjoy every minute
mrs-m - how thoughtful of your DD I am not surprised it was a happy day
psso - hope you are feeling better now
kathy - you sure have been busy but please don't worry about us lot we will be always here x I have an update but will post it tomorrow
ginny - glad the little fellow is better now, sad news about your friend Rosieben

I have been knitting tiny toys for the girls Christmas Fayre from the Jean Greenhowe christmas book, it belonged to Mom but she gave it to me a few years ago, I have used it loads...have also done some more hats for sailors with oddments of yarn I 'found' the other day when tidying up my woolly corner... oh dear it was in a blinkin mess

I send my love to you all happy,sad,in good health, poorly, playing host to Edna, just a bit under the weather or with poorly rellies

I guess everyone is getting busy making things for Christmas. Just off to take my first parcel to the Post office. It will be on its way to Saudi Arabia via DDs SIL wedding. Not safe to send direct as it will not arrive.

Hope to do some charity knitting in the next few days. Have yet to start on the aircraft carrier scarf.

Still piddling rain here, more than a week of it. Oh, I tell a lie ! We had about 15 mins of Sun on Thursday I think it was........

Been very quiet here. DD and little J only here part time and DS has new g/friend so seldom here now. Pops in for 10 mins if I'm lucky. Not used to being on my own so much.

Hope everyone is well. Keep cosy in this miserable weather or enjoy the sun if you have some.

UPDATE
4 blanket buddies
6 neckwarmers
7 hedgehogs

We tried nearly all day to get a happy smiley photo of us both - and FAILED we were giggling far too much, so here is the next best thing - SCARY SISTERS!

DH is out of the big body brace and into a smaller wrap around doo dah, he is allowed to 'try out most things' for himself - so as a nurse I am now redundant - not sure he will let me give up with the shopping, cooking, cleaning etc although I will try and convince him otherwise............slow and steady progress only to be made over the next two months prior to his next hospital visit.

Busy crafty hands here, some selling done on my page :j and elsewhere :j Off to try and find some superhero fabric cheaply to make bunting for a friends grandson.

Oh sleepy so will leave him to catch up and run to the market/cs's/ tesco. Slow cooker on with a bit of stewing steak in so an easy tea.

Jean, fab photo I see the crazyness is in the family :rotfl:glad hubby is making improvements. x

Omg Im cross eyed, been rolling through fabric land but no super hero fabric I think its because its licenced :mad: However I have picked rather a lot of fabric i would like so will save up and buy some after Christmas. I found a quilt cover in Tesco that will do and I can use up the rest of the fabric to make Christmas gifts with. Thank you xx

evening all

ginny glad you managed to find suitable fabric (even if it was a duvet)

attempting to get caught up today as DH will be starting the physio (FIZZ-Y-OH) tomorrow I have given up my job as nursie and am now having a go at the chauffeuring...... that's all the little bootees finished as they don't have any room for their own things.

UPDATE

7 pairs bootees (this is before I forget them)

Hope you all have a wonderful day - think I am doing the pickled onions and the baking this afternoon but will pop in when I can.
