Another Blanket Takes A Belated Bow

It was my little grandsons third birthday last Monday and I was looking back at the post I did of when he was born back here, where does the time go! I realised that I hadn't followed up on the blanket I had started at that time.

I had a lot of fun making this, it was a CAL and some of the ladies from Loving Hands were making it too so we were were able to compare notes and watch each others progress.

This was a very interesting blanket to make as it's crocheted from the centre out and each section was worked in a different crochet stitch.

I think it's one of the most striking blankets I have made and I love everything about it. I have this blanket folded at the foot of my bed ready to pull up if the night is especially chilly.

It's the Arizona Blanket and you can find the pattern here and I used the red sky colourway.

It's been quite a busy week, starting with my Grandsons Birthday, not that we could really celebrate but I saw him on video chat opening his presents, my son sent this the evening before, he had lots of lovely surprises when he got up the next morning...

Then I discovered my bathroom radiator was leaking and had to call the plumber, he can't fix it until next week so I have a dish underneath it to catch the drops and that's standing on top of  a towel, luckily he managed to stem most of the flow.  I don't want a repeat of this!

My brother's phone broke, he needs a phone at all times as he has MS and was expecting a call from his consultant amongst other things. All the phone shops are closed because of covid, so we had to buy a new phone, get a new SIM and transfer the old number to the new SIM. It took days to get it sorted and you know what it's like with a new phone you have to set it up, transfer contacts, well I won't go into details but honestly I could write a book! 

My left hearing aid has been switching itself on and off while I'm wearing it, for those who don't wear hearing aids, every time it switches on a little bell rings three times, can you imagine what it's like! Anyway I was lucky to get an appointment at Audiology they gave me a new aid but that one was buzzing while I wore it, I went back the next day and they changed it but it's still buzzing.  I have to wait to the end of the month before I can get an appointment to see an Audiologist so I'm having to make do with just one hearing aid, thank goodness I'm not meeting up with many people.

On a more happy note I got my corona vaccine yesterday, my GP rang me the day before so I cancelled the appointment at the vaccine centre 10 miles away and had it at the GP surgery.  No side affects so far although I'm beginning to feel a little dizzy and light headed, could be my imagination time will tell, I'm just glad that I've had it.

I've had very little time for crafting this week but this weekend I plan to fill this bowl with fruit....

and maybe paint more stones...

Thank you all your lovely comments about my rocks, painting them is honestly keeping me sane.😊

For all you Mums that are celebrating

I hope you all have a great weekend.😘😘
