had a fab afternoon

the boys school was closed this afternoon due to a power cut
i was meeting my cousin in town for coffee
so the boys came with me-and my other cousin and her toddler came too
we had lunch at mcd's and a mooch around town
it was lovely spending time with my 2 cousins-and reuben seemed to love my cousin's little boy
we havent seen each other in about 2yrs
we are definitely going to meet up again

half a stone lighter

ive lost another half a stone
which makes 1st 2lb in just under 2mths now
i feel so much better in myself-my asthma is better
my clothes are getting so big-ive had to buy a belt

hooray

we are so pleased
we found out yesterday taht reuben's heart murmur-is definitely an innocent one
which means it is just a noise-and noting to worry about
it is such a relief-as he already is on meds twice a day for his epilepsy

3rd doggie blanket

im now on my 3rd blanket for the local dogs home
im really enjoying making them
and just hope the dogs home like them too
ive probally got enough wool to make another 2 possibly 3 blankets -and i will then take them all down at the same time
i will put pics up when ive finished all of them

so for the long absense

ive been so busy with college-work placement and various children's illnesses
ive made a rather large patchwork blanket over the christmas holidays-which im now edging
but have stopped for a bit to concentrate on making some blankets for a local dogs home
so far ive made one and almost finsihed a 2nd-i will wait until ive made a few before i take tem down
