Nearly a year to the day but its done.

Well its been a busy couple of weeks. My eldest turned 4 last week and we had a bit of a party for him on the weekend with family staying,. But I have still managed to get quite a bit of crafting in as well with my favourite finished thing this week being the blanket I started mid to late November last year.

So its taken pretty much a year to the day to actually get myself in gear and finish it but the spooky blanket is finished and my eldest loves it and it now has pride of place in his bedroom.

Upon request I made a dinosaur theme cake for the party

And I finished spinning up some bright coloured merino and plyed it with black welsh and tussah silk to make a very fireworks inspired yarn. A little over spun in places and I could have done with plying it a little tighter but not bad overall I think, I'm planning on making a scarf I think out of it otherwise not sure what I'm going to do with it.

I have also finished something for my secret santa gift but as its a secret I can't post pics of the finished object sorry.

For more finished objects please visit tamis blog and see what everyone else has been up to this week.

Oh dear we've chicken pox

Well chicken pox has struck our household. So we are on house arrest for a few days till the spots decide they want to go away. So my eldest wanted to make pancakes as they are his favourite apparently (well today they are anyway) so we had fun cooking

and managed to make some that looked like bear prints somehow which of course the boys though was fab.

I also sorted out some of the garden for them to play out and set up my uber bargain of the week. (This pic was before I tidied it looks much better now honest)

My youngest's play group was tidying out and selling off unused equipment and I got a lovely wooden activity play frame for the garden for £20 (they're about £500 new). So we had fun playing outside till it decided to rain.
