It's Friday so time to join up with Susanne and other like minded bloggers here as we look back on the good things in the past week.
1) A family party last Saturday - one of our nieces turned 40 in January and organised a party to celebrate. It was lovely to see lots of family members. 4 of Hubby's siblings were there and lots of the next generation.
The cousins do love getting together.

3) The carpenter making the units for our living room contacted us to make arrangements to come next week to fit them. This is a lot sooner than we expected so it means I'll be able to get the house back to normal before our visitors arrive next month.
4) Quiet days meant I could work on my blanket. It still needs the border to be attached (and about a million ends to be woven in) but it's finally assembled.
I managed to snap this lovely pic of Ella

Have a good weekend all - it's warmed up here in the last day or so but we've had rain. My walking/steps stats are suffering lol.
Nice family pictures!!!! My grandson doesn't like to take pictures either. The oldest nephew in our family will be 46! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family! I always loved growing up near my cousins.
Your blanket is beautiful! I'm still educating myself on recognizing stitches but this looks like crochet: I've tried crochet but I have such a problem with tension.
Have a lovely weekend.
I love that your family loves to get together and that you live close enough that you can do that.
ReplyDeleteLove that blanket! Did you use a pattern for all the blocks? That would be a fun one to knit.
I hope your weather stays mild so you can be out walking. Have a good week!
I love your blanket. :-)
ReplyDeleteElla is a cutie.
I do love how your family gets together, very special.

It's a much welcome quiet week, here, too, after a couple of busy ones. Yay for some nice family gatherings! I love that blanket. That's so neat that your living room units will be ready sooner than expected.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who grew up only meeting her cousins once in her life seeing your big family gathering to celebrate a birthday warms my heart. Love your blanket. Your grands are cuties whether they want their pics taken or not.
