Odd Socks!

It seems ages since I posted but really it's only a week, things have been a little crazy around here just lately but first I must show you the boot socks I have finished I can't really believe I have actually managed to make two I have a bag of odd socks that I have started but I never seem to get around to making the second one.

I know that they are odd and by no means perfect BUT they are socks and they are wearable.  I think that the uneven distribution of colours add to their charm don't you?  

I would love to wear these socks they are lovely thick and warm but they were made for a 4-6 year old and even though they have turned out much bigger they are still not adult size, I'm thinking they would maybe fit a 10-12 year old and thats fine because the beauty about charity knitting is you can always find a home for all your makes, these will be going into the box for Operation Orphan.

I am enjoying the DPNS and I never thought I would say that but I think it's because of the new needles I bought they are Knit pro Trendz...

and are really lovely to use and so I'm branching out into knitting or trying to knit a hat in the round I know so simple for most of you knitters but new for me so watch this space. :)

I'm still trying to clear out the small bedroom so that I can paint it next week but where do you put all the stuff, and more to the point where did it all come from? there will be some serious "do you really need this"!! thinking going on I can tell you. I still daren't show you a picture of the clutter much too embarrassing haha

It was my birthday last Thursday and I was thoroughly spoilt by both family and friends I just want to thank them for making my Birthday so special it started with a meal with friends on the Tuesday, than lunch with my daughter on my birthday, on the Saturday evening another meal out with my family and at the end of the meal the lights went out and the waiters carried a cake lit by candles and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me I was so touched and a bit embarrassed I have to say.....

Meal out with family

and then to end the week off perfectly my lovely daughter announced that she had booked us both into a Spa and afternoon tea here  on Sunday. the Spa was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, afternoon tea was yummy too.

Oh yes! 

 I even managed to make the Christmas cake :) 

Hope you are all having a great week!
