It seems that time has been my demon again, I'm full of good intentions, honestly, I am, I'm just not very good at time management lately. I have been busy though, with crafty things as well as the normal everyday things that seem to steal all of my time (as I'm sure they do yours too).
One of my Nieces is due to have her second baby in April and has requested a blanket like the one I knit for Jenny when she was expecting Oliver.
I've been knitting this on and off for a while, far longer than it should have taken really, but at last it's finished!

A new crochet project is on the go. I'm choosing the colours more or less at random and so far I think they look ok.
A few days ago in a quiet moment at work I was browsing the internet and admiring various granny squares and one of the lads came into reception, saw what I was doing and told me that I must stop this, It's not 'cool', (apparently)
er..... I'm 52, I think I'm old enough to not give a jot if anyone thinks I'm 'cool' or not, lol.
So here is my new un-cool hooky project, which, as it happens, I think is pretty cool :-)
I've only finished about 18 squares so far, so there will be loads more to tell on this blanket before it's finished, and I'm trying not to think of all those ends to weave in yet...eek
I have to say that I am getting immense pleasure from working all these little squares :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stitching is still sort of taking a back seat, larger projects have been abandoned in favour of smaller ornaments, which is about all I have the attention span for at the moment.
I've stitched up two freebies but only managed to get one made up into an ornament.
Free chart found here
As usual the finishing was a challenge. I swear I could have stitched it all again in the amount of time it took me to make it
up, and we won't even go into the mess I made whilst sewing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only other news to tell this time is that we are on the move. A couple of weeks before Christmas we put our house up for sale, It was something that had been talked about for a few years but never put into action, but now the time seems right and we were both ready to do it.
We were very fortunate in finding a buyer after only being on the market for about 5 weeks, and a few weeks later we found ourselves a new property. My initial reaction to selling so quickly was shock, and to be honest I was a little scared, but now that we have found somewhere to go to I'm really excited and looking forward to getting things moving. I will keep you posted on the progress
