I've decided to make a temperature blanket

I've decided to make a blanket to represent the temperature each day for the whole of 2017. I've picked out my colour palettes and chosen my temperature range. I hope I can keep it going all year

Quickest blanket ever

I finished a blanket today that I only started a fortnight ago

The blanket is made up of 60 separate granny squares, which have then been joined together in 6 rows of 10.  Each square consists 9 rounds , using double knit yarn and a 2:5mm hook.

Working to a deadline was a challenge, it had to be ready before NYE, but I enjoyed it, even if it did cause my dermatitis to flare up 

Wow such a long time since I've blogged

I suddenly thought of my blog today and decided to resurrect it once again

Well it's nearly Christmas- Zac and Reuben broke up from school yesterday- Paul should be finished with work early next week- I've virtually finished my Christmas shopping

Currently working on a single bed sized crochet blanket in different shades of purple - that needs to finished before New Year's Eve - only my 5th paid commission for a friend from school - I'm half way done with the squares so I'm on track

I think this blog goes back about 7 years but I've never consistently blogged - hopefully in the new year this is going to change -as I've got back into keeping a journal as well and blogs normally get kept when I'm journaling too

Loving church life - loving being part of the Sound team - tomorrow night I'm on sound for the Candlelit service - we have another in on Christmas Eve also - it's such a privilege to serve my church in this way and really hope in some small way that I'm a part of people hearing God's word ✝️

Busy busy

Life is continuously busy,Drs appts,Hosp appts,school appts
And now I'm a school governor at Z and R comp,I must be mental
Health wise I'm feeling better ish, just got heart appt at the end of the month
R epilepsy hasn't been great recently,including an abensce whilst underwater this week,during swimming,school have been brilliant,and he will now have a TA in the pool with his,every lesson.
Cwtch crochet is doing ok, got 2/3 commissions I need to finish this side of Christmas,plus one lot of family crochet to finish as a present 

Ouch

I managed to cut a slice out of my thumb yesterday with a very sharp ceramic knife,so no crochet for me for a few days as I have a comedy bandage on it

First post in ages

Since my last post,Reuben has started year 7 and Zac has started year 9, I feel old having both children in comp,but also a little lonely being at home from 7-4:30 , but it does mean that me and Paul can sometimes go out for lunch together,or for a a bike/skate ride and not have to rush back.
The joys of comp age children and owning your own business

Reuben's epilepsy is as yet uncontrolled
Also started Cwtch Crochet,a page on Facebook,to show off and possibly sell my crochet blankets

Phew

Been a busy few days,with trips to the Gps and hospital,for myself, for test,query early menopause, there I've said it outloud
The. Yesterday I had a day out at the local Lido with reuben,including some outdoor crocheting.this was all a distraction technique as I have a family member who is quite poorly at the moment,who lives away,so getting updates via text etc.
Next week we have a neuro appt for Reuben, that will hopefully see him put back on epilepsy meds,which will mean he will have a few weeks of them in his system before starting comp in september
