chalky_75

Hello one and all. No help needed yet as we are still in Hemel Hempstead as we are leaving car with friend and she is dropping us off at Heathrow tomorrow ready for the night flight.

I am trying very hard to keep calm! I promise to behave myself to save you racing to the rescue xxx

Well I will try and pop in when I can. But I look forward to special baby news. I remember William being born and it was the best ever and I know we all feel like that. Please add me to the virtual Auntie list X

Take care everyone and enjoy all the Easter treats xxx

Have a fantastic time away and please give William lots of cuddles from his virtual aunties

I can just see Chalky now - a bundle of excitement, joy and nervousness all at once. Not grabbing her little man at the airport and kissing him silly must be awful. Have a wonderful time my dear friend.

I now have a greenhouse (plastic) thats just a bundle of bits on the floor on top of plantpots full of lavender plants that I have nurtured from teeny weeny plug plants is there a weeping smiley? Could be worse, or thats what I tell myself when something minor but upsetting happens.

mrs-moneypenny

Ginny so sorry to hear about your plants, the wind has been horrendous it's really disappointing when you've nurtured something like that and it gets battered. Are there any you can save?

Im going to have a proper look in daylight tomorrow and there will probably be some that are just hiding under the compost that spilled. There were 30 lavender plants that I wanted to make a little hedge with for Dgs's fairy garden but I had 4 others near the house and they are ok. My punnet of pansy's took flight down the garden but landed right side up :T In the bigger scheme of things its not too bad x

Ginny sorry about your plants I hope you manage to salvage most of them.

Took me two days to frog one cardigan but am almost to the armhole shaping on the back with my re-knitting. mattress stitch may be the best way to sew up because it is invisible but it has meant I have cut quite a few stitches. Going to have a lot of joins. I still have another ball of this yarn if I end up using more because of all the joins.

I am knitting it on smaller needles and two sizes smaller. With less stitches I ought to use less. I had hoped not to have to frog the sleeves as they fit much better but had to frog them because of cutting stitches where I had woven the yarn in from joins.

Seem to have saved the greenhouse enough to bring plants on in it

Busy with all things crafty, just painted a canvas midnight blue then will stick letters on saying' Love you to the moon and back' paint stars and Moon on it and make holes for battery lights to poke through. Its for Dgs's bedroom will post pics when its done.

Hope everyone is well warm and dry in this horrible weather xx

ginnyknit - hope you have managed to sort your greenhouse and save some of your plants. Your canvas project sounds interesting looking forward to seeing the pics
mrs-moneypenny - hows things on the grand baby front any sign yet?
nursemaggie - sounds like the cardi's are working out ok this time, you must have so much patience...me it would have been relegated to the UFO bag to have been finished eventually;)
chalky - love your pics of little scrumptious and Dubaii looks lovely have a wonderful time xx
jean - have you decided which pack to order yet?

The circle in a square is finished and passed on to the nurse at the home where Mom is, and she loved it ...I always worry when doing work for someone else that they wont like it...are we all like that?

I have been on fb a lot over the last few days still not too sure about it though...but I do like playing Pearls Peril :rotfl:

See you all in a few days
Love to all Annie xx
