So who forgot to put the post on , on Sunday ? Paul. . . . okay it was me ! I did get as far as putting up the starting photo and I sort of remember thinking about it late Sunday, then realised I'd forgotten yesterday and meant to do it then but was in the middle of doing something so it slipped away again!
Then one of my readers sent a message asking if I was okay since I'd not help her fall asleep with my usual Sunday post ! Cheek!
I've become fixed on making up granny squares and turning them into blankets !!
When I placed out the squares after making the sofa back blanket, I had enough to almost make another one ! That's what comes of just making them nightly without stopping to check just how many I'd made.
I did think about just putting them together and making a second one and started sewing them together until I got half way across and then re arranged them into a different patten and made this one above which is a nice size for a lap blanket.
So that left me with roughly a third of the original squares, which I then arranged on the table, working out I needed another four squares to make the pattern up, I had two and two more that were not right for the pattern, so I set about making two more of each, so I could decide which way to go.
So another lap sized/ sharing blanket. this meant I had four squares left over, Which would only have been two if I could have made me mind up or spotted what I did in the end , before I made them, which was put a complete line all round of the ones edged in dark blue around the outer edge.
Now I really need to be knitting but it's so easy just to pick up the hook and make a few granny squares I now have another dozen sitting in my basket ! So another blanket may be on the make!! Do I need all these blankets? no ! But I do so love colour lol and they are nice and bright ! Maybe I'll put one up for my followers. So watch this space. . . . . well not this actual space . . . but you know what I mean.
So the beautiful Belle ( Belinda ) is todays headliner, who I should never have sold , but it was in my less is more stage , which if you saw just how much I have , you'd be amazed I can have those stages !
Since there never seems to be any less before they gather again.
I'd like to say that on the doll front I have not bought anything but that would not be true! I have got a second issue gotz doll on layaway. Now years ago I am sure I bought this doll because I liked her but I cannot remember what happened to her ! Did she arrive and almost straight away turn round and leave? Is she still in her tube somewhere in the loft ? attic? If I was to send Paul to search would she appear like one of those poor dolls that have spent years in the boxes never to see the light of day for more than the time it took an owner to make sure she was okay then put away to keep her nice !!!
I am a release the dolls! person ! get them out of the tubes, stand them in a cabinet if you must but let the poor things at least be able to watch the world go by, even if you don't let them out of the cabinet to enjoy some play ! Remember Toy Story !!!
I wonder where Belle is now? I hope she is getting lots of attention. I should have kept that Petrana outfit too . . . . . . story of my life ! Thank goodness it was frowned upon to sell your children. . . . who knows what could have happened, if I'd seen another I wanted more . . . . . . ( just kidding )
So have a great happy healthy fun filled week ahead,
Dee
Where's that snoring coming from?. . . . . . Icy is that you ? . . . . . . Icy icy !!!!
