What You Doing Wednesday Week 57

I hope May is turning into a good month for you!

It's been brilliant to have a bank holiday weekend

and to have some sun.

Believe me this is very rare up North.

Firstly I would like to tell you about a fun pattern

that has been released for charity.

Maria Bittner

has released:

Maraschino Monster Beanie

  

The net proceeds from the sale of this pattern will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Please join in making this hat a great success and providing assistance to an organization that does so much to help those going through difficult challenges.

Isn't it such a fun pattern!!!

I hope you'll give your support and buy this fun pattern!

Now here is what I am making this week:

I've might a little bit more of my

tunisian multi garment

from the Craftsy

Tunisian Crochet Course.

Online Tunisian Crochet Class

I'm hoping to get a little more made this week.

I like having something I can pick up and put down.

I haven't made any further progress 

on my Sampler afghan

from

Rowan's Learn to Crochet

Sampler Afghan

    

My hedgehog & scarf are finished

so you'll have to wait till Friday to see them :-).

I am reading:

The Vampire Manifesto (Vampire Manifesto Book One) by Rashaad Bell

Kindle:

   

The book is based around one girl Madison Amber Rose.

It's the story of how she dies 

and what happens afterwards.

It's not just a Vampire Story as it deals

with a lot of huge theories.

I'm enjoying the book but having to take my time

as it goes into a lot of deep theories.

I'll tell you more when I finish it.

I hope you all have a good week!

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

A quick update:

IT'S SUNNY IN ENGLAND!!!!!

If I haven't replied to any emails yet don't worry I will in the coming days.
We've actually had a sunny bank holiday weekend
and it's sunny today!!!
I'm going to spend sometime with the sunshine whilst it's here :-).
The rain and cold is back to tomorrow :-(.

It's been so nice having some sun.
Hubby has started the garden tidy up after winter.
Little Red enjoyed helping his dad and being able to play out.

Excuse the mess in the background.

There is still a lot of sorting and cleaning to do after a year and half of winter.

I had a really nice surprise this week.

I was chosen to try out the new Walkers Hoops & Crosses.

I received this fantastic parcel in the post. 

 

I received a beautiful box with a book about the crisps, packet of crisps & a monkey.
It was beautifully put together!
The Roast Beef flavour is a bit like the monster munch flavour and so is the consistency.
They were really nice and I will be buying them again.
You can't tell it's wholegrain so it's a fantastic way to get
that all important fibre into your children without them knowing.
Little Red also loved the monkey that came with the crisps
and took him to bed with him :-)

Hope you're all having a good day!
