It has been 2 weeks since I last was able to write a coherent sentence. I have been given a new medication by the doctor which whilst helping me sleep, which I hadn't been able to do for a couple of months, is also responsible for my brain being about 10 paces behind my body or the other way about, I can't decide which. I am so wobbly it must be quite funny to watch me try to walk. I have been crafting though, and have made quite a bit of progress on some of my current projects.
Firstly here is my Mum's Magic blanket
I have completed parts 3 and 4 and joined them together. The blanket is growing and changing shape with every new part that comes along. It is such a fun project you are never sure what will be coming next so are always keen to keep moving along.
In knitting, I finished my wurm hat.
It is so cosy and soft and was such an easy knit. I already have another two on the needles for gifts.
Speaking of gifts, preparations are well underway for "the day which shall not be named". This year I wanted to do something a wee bit different and after scouring the internet for ideas I found these beauties on Etsy.
They were exactly what I was looking for. Each bag comes with 24 little bags and stickers for you to fill up with whatever goodies you want to put in them. I am looking forward to finding some interesting bits and bobs and hope the recipients enjoy their Advent surprises.
Speaking of surprises, I have had three lovely surprises myself. All have come in the shape of mystery boxes from Rosie's Moments.
First is the August accessories box which I forgot to share last month,
This "Back to School" themed box came stuffed with useful goodies perfect for any knitter and had a fabulous pattern for fingerless mitts.
The September box has lots of pampering treats which I am really looking forward to using and a pattern for a gorgeous shawl.
And finally, I decided to try the September mystery sock box. I was stunned and delighted with what came in this "Russia" themed box.
That's about all I can manage to write, for now, I can feel myself slipping into sleep mode again. I will leave you with this image of our two littles cuddled up and take myself off for a nap.
Take care and happy crafting,
Mary
