Still here!

Mostly been finishing off an order for a shop I supply- big one with a time constraint - but sent it off this morning so back to...
 bluesy crochet blanket- 25x 5inch standard granny squares, then I decided to make it bigger by adding little quad squares between- 80 squares later my main colours were running out so I found the "dotty" white one with blue and green flecks...then decided I wanted to edge it and came across...
 this fab find- all the right colours and 300g for £5! I have no problem using acrylic- suits my budget( err what budget??) and my lifestyle ( ie machine washable!lol) so ner ner ner to anyone who wants to hate acrylic !
Anyway I have gone round edging( in granny stripes as I partly want to edge and mostly want to make it bigger without any more squares!
 OOOh played lego with the boys- l-r  my car( the doors even open!), umm a fab vehicle thing and a plane "with a camera"- ah yes, son, one of those camera planes??!!
 Ok I opened some birthday pressies early but it wasn't my fault they weren't gift wrapped!crobots on amazon
 fab book with such a fun way of explaining the construction "blueprint" fab! Cant wait to get going
 Other stuff included a St. George's day fun day at a local park- "we" made a shield and got a balloon sword, then watched the display dogs, had a ride on a fair train, ate ice cream and played on the swings etc- great day with my little man( big man at a party and big girl out with friends)ps, yes I am still sulking about my fab dress(in the background) that should be wonderful and looks like a 1970's nightie!
 I realy didnt notice the finger marks on the mini eggs till I uploaded the pics- anyway I had some help making these and even more help eating them!
