Not a FO Friday

All best laid plans :-)

Well I had my sons assembly this morning and then was I was going to come home and do some finishing off.

Instead I got to bring home a sick son.

Oh well, we've enjoyed being curled up on the couch watching t.v.

I think it will be a long night because he has a lot of pain

in his stomach.

I don't mind, it isn't good for my CFS but it's good for my heart.

As a mum I don't feel right if I don't look after him when he's ill.

I have got some beautiful things I've won.

I'm going to take some pictures this weekend (hopefully) to show you.

I did finish a book this week:

Cage of Bones by Tania Carver

I enjoyed the book but I found it difficult to get into at first.

I would say if you are going to read it then bear with it.

I sometimes felt that some of the characters weren't acting right for what they were going through 

but as you got further into the book the characters got better as did the story.

Overall a good read.

As I haven't got anything finished this week I thought I'd show you one of the sets I've made:

I have made a matching set of

Hat, scarf (with mitten ends)

A bag

a bib

& a pantangle :-)

Why don't you go over and see some fantastic FO's 

& I'm also joining in some blog hops

Happy Monday

Good Morning everyone

Hope you are having a good day!

I dosed up on pain meds yesterday evening so managed

to get some sleep and feel better for it.

I am so excited about the house and what I have planned :-)

Hubby was questioning who was going to do all the work

Him of course :-)

Our new bed is coming on Wednesday so I am really excited.

About 5 years ago we spent a fortune and bought

one of the really expensive matresses that

molds to you.  It had springs under the foam as well

so it was meant to be the best of the best.

As you can guess from what I am saying it wasn't.

The foam decided it didn't like moulding to us

it decided it was better at the side of the bed.

As I am having a few issues with balance and judging where things are

we decided to get a whole new bed.

The one we have at the moment is low and has a wooden surround.

My legs are full of bruises from walking into it.

We are getting a divan and this time we have made sure we got a guarantee.

On Saturday I picked up a wonderful package:

it was my winning from:

I think I am going to make a tote bag as my first sewing project - wish me luck!

Blog Hopping and funny story

Little Red came to me (whilst I wasn't looking)

and said look mum I'm flashing.

I got ready to tell him off till

I realized that he 

had put his flashing lights from his police car

down his pants and he was making it flash.

Serves mummy right for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

The again it does look rude

He thought he was being funny.

Today I'm joining in a blog hop.

I hope you'll join in too:
