What You Doing Wednesday Week 22

I hope you are all having a good Week!
Sorry I got mixed up with my days and posted a day early.
Better early than late :-)

This week I haven't done as much crocheting.

A lovely chest infection

& a relaxing week with the family instead.

My hubby is off this week so we are trying to have some

fun family time.

Little Red choose a Nerf Gun the other day when he was at the shops.

   

Little Red's has 3 whistling bullets

& a night site so you can see where you are shooting.

Hubby went to the shops a couple of days later and decided to get one.

   

Of course Daddy's had to be bigger and better.

His is a rapid fire with 6 bullets.

All I can hear at the moment is screams and laughter

as they chase each other round the house shooting each other.

I must admit it's good to hear Little Red laughing so much!

Now onto what I am making at the moment.

My hat is coming along nicely.

I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished.

I am also making a Mallet for Little Red from the following free pattern:

I've still got one white hat left to make up.

I've got the idea in my head so it's just a case of getting it made up now.

 I've started using my yarn bag.

I made it the other month but didn't start using it.

I was going to use it on the school run whilst waiting for Little Red

to come out but the weather was always awful.

I'm now using it for my hat project. It's fantastic as my yarn, hook

pencil & pattern fit in with space to spare.

I can just grab it and run and it doesn't take up much space.

It's small enough so I can crochet whilst standing

and just have it hooked over my wrist.

My free pattern for the bag is:

I've found a crochet along that I really fancy joining in:

I don't know whether or not any of you would be

interested in joining?

I am currently reading:

   

I have only read up to chapter 3 so I am only just getting started.

So far so good but it's just intriguing at the moment.

If you would like an invite to Pinterest just email me
susand1408 at gmail dot com

P.S. If your pins don't appear for you to add them
to Pinterest
make sure they are large on your blog first.
I couldn't understand why I couldn't add my pictures anymore.
I didn't get any luck from their help
but managed to figure it out myself.

I am a huge fan of Pinterest!

Now what are you doing this week?

It doesn't have to be crochet 

link up anything that you are making.

I've Made Friday Week 12

Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all having a good week!

Little Red is off school this week

so it's been raining!

It hasn't stopped us having some fun :-)

We painted it using poster paint.

We then used twisted pipe cleaners

as the trees.

Then we added some tissue paper leaves.

All in all I don't think it turned out bad.

Little Red loved painting it.

Now this week I read

1st to Die

James Patterson

Book:

   

Kindle:

   

This is the first book in a crime series

involving the Women's Murder Club.

The main character is Lindsay a homicide cop.

The murder story follows a serial killer

who is killing newly married couples.

You are given the clues throughout the story

and the clues give many twists and turns

to keep you guessing.

If you love a good murder series I would

recommend reading this one.

I give it 4 out of 5

Now here is what I have been making this week:

My yarn bag is finished.

I am typing up the pattern at the moment

so I'll hopefully have the pattern for you soon!

 I finished off the shorts for the preemie set.

I used the Dandelion Daydreamers

pattern by Patti Gonsalves

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dandelion-daydreamers

The pattern is for a set of trousers but I just made less rounds

& made them into shorts.

I finished my blanket :-)

I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Little Red has been curled up on the couch with it since it was finished.

I used the Smoky Mountain Ripple Pattern

by Lion Brand

http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/90417AD.html?noImages=

Now it's your turn to show off what you have been making:

Thank you to all the suppliers of the prizes.

This week has been a bit strange.

It's been beautiful and sunny.

This has meant my fatigue hasn't been quite as bad.

This has been fantastic and has meant I managed to not take medication for 2 nights.

I thought it would mean my cfs would be more under control

but since the big crash everything isn't as expected.

The pain has been more intense which is strange but I'm managing to take my

mind off it and not take any medication.

It's all ups and downs with CFS and each day you have to learn to live

with something.

It's for a reason and I know that.

Having CFS has taught me so much about life already.

Anyway enough of that

this week I am reading 

The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

It's the last book in the series and

I'm really going to miss reading this series of books.

    

We had a really nice relaxing weekend.
We went to a local park to see my brother.
We were away when it was his birthday.
He has a really busy lifestyle so the only way we could
see him was to go and meet him where he was
a kayak instructor.
It was a beautiful day.

Now onto what I'm making:

There 12 of each set of colours made.

I'm going to add them to the blanket over the next couple of days :-)

I am nearly finished with my yarn bag:

I am not sure if this hat is finished or not.

The pattern I am following has a brim & a flower

but I am not sure if I don't like it just the way it is:

Now it's your turn.

What are you making this week?
