Susanne kindly reminds us each week to think about the good things that have happened and things we're thankful for. Then we link up here.
1) Lots of reading time this week. I finished these three books and I've already started another.
The blanket of granny squares is now finished and that has gone to my daughter. (She made the squares, I sewed them together and then did an edging plus I wove lots of ends in!)
Now I've started on a jumper for me! This is the first of two panels that form the top of the shoulder and sleeve. It looks a bit complicated but hopefully my Knit and Natter friends will be able to help me if I get stuck.
3) A Knit and Natter session on Wednesday. We hadn't met for a month so it was good to catch up with people.
4) Spring weather! We had a few days of nice sunny and warm weather. I've even got a couple of jobs done in the garden.
5) Extra help at the Foodbank. Sally who usually helps me in the store room wasn't in this week but another volunteer came in and brought her husband with her. They were both a great help to me in particular.
Our babysitting last Saturday went ok - we managed between us to get both children asleep and this evening I managed to do that on my own. Thankfully Nathan was happy to sit in his bedroom with his iPad while I got Ella to sleep and then I sat with him until he was asleep. Neither of them like going to sleep on their own but they went to bed without any fuss. Their Mummies were glad of some grown up time and I'm glad to help out when I can.
Have a good weekend all. I'm pressing publish just before I hit midnight!
That purse for your little Ella is ADORABLE!! I would love it, too!! The blanket of squares is well done, and I look forward to seeing your jumper as your progress with it! Love the color!! Have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri
DeleteWhat an exhausting week. I don't know where you find the time to read so many books.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched much TV this week lol
DeleteThe purse is darling! Any little girl would be delighted with it. I look forward to see progress as you continue with the jumper. I’ve always admired those who can knit clothes to wear.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. The jumper will probably take me forever lol
DeleteI wonder if knitting would come easier to me than crochet. I just can't seem to get my tension right.
ReplyDeleteTension is everything in knitting although I hardly ever do the swatch test to see if mine is right.
DeleteGood job with the reading and I love that bag, it's so cute and the blanket too!
ReplyDeleteHow great to have some extra help at the foodbank.
Thanks, the extra help was definitely needed. I couldn't do all that's needed in the stock room on my own.
DeleteSome good things on this list
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteElla's bag turned out so cute! I am glad the babysitting went well. And that you had help at the Foodbank when the regular helper was gone. I am enjoying signs of spring, too.
ReplyDeleteElla's bag is so cute. My dayhome girls would love that. I like the patterns in the afghan. Glad the babysitting went well and both kids went to bed without too much trouble for you.
