    Still tidying, but have found my next piece to finish. It will be a case for my tablet. I made one for my husbands kindle,  and then started this one. Half a front done, then sat there for two years, typical! This is the current state.

    I'm going to start that denim Aran waistcoat again. I can't put it off any longer 🥴. I'm going to do a tension square first in a basket weave stitch. I will then take time to adjust it to fit another pattern. It better work this time as it nearly drove me mad last year 😡

    Ive got all my colours together ready to start my temperature blanket. I have recorded the daily temperatures and I'm looking forward to trying crochet again. 
     
    Happy crafting xx
    @old_fogey - I love the stitching - it looks so pretty. 

    @plumduff55 - it sounds like you have been busy but I hope you enjoyed your visits with the little ones.
    Good luck on your attempt for the waistcoat. I can remember your adventures last year with it. Im sure I heard you swearing from here some days! 
    Cant wait to see your temperature blanket. A friend of mine who is a really good crochet-er has offered to give me a few lessons for crochet so I will be trying to tackle that at some point to use up some more of my stash
    Time to find me again

    @Sammy_Kaye18, you cross stitch very quickly. Do you find it calming? I am really enjoying watching him grow.

    @plumduff55 I am looking forward to seeing the baby quilt, and good luck with the denim arran waistcoat.

    @Soontobeoap those household jobs can wait!  great upcoming with the cards, stunning

    @Stashbuster such a shame about the top, but I am looking forward to seeing the new one.

    @sammy_kaye18 good idea to check the delivery is all there, you never know. And those Robins are starting to look very Robin like! And thanks for the reminder about valentines day. Only a card to make for hubby, but I like to do it when he is out on Friday mornings, and I soon run out of them.
