image by Simon Howden Okay, sweetie~pies, so the photo I chose above is a slight exaggeration ~ it's not snowing, granted, but it is jolly cold nevertheless! I just can't seem to get warm today; mind you, I am feeling a touch under the weather with a little flare-up of the 'ole IBS so perhaps that's why. And, of course, it is still only mid-January so we really shouldn't be expecting anything other than cold weather should we, my loves :-) I do hope we don't get any snow this winter as taking the dogs out in it really won't be my idea of fun ~ nor their's either I suspect! I will also be worrying about slipping over ~ like I did yesterday, although that was on mud rather than ice or snow. I felt such a fool but luckily only Adrian was there to see me go down. My, but I landed heavily *sigh* It really knocked the wind out of my sails and I had to just sit there for a moment or two to catch my breath. The daft thing is that I did actually see the flippin' muddy patch and just as the thought was going through my mind that I must take care, down I went! I had stepped to the side but obviously not quite far enough and my foot just went out from under me. It sounds daft I know, my loves, but I must confess that I felt a little unwell for much of the remainder of the day, and today my leg muscles and left foot feel somewhat sore and achey. Oh well, I must just ensure that I take more care in future ;-) So apart from falling over what else have I been up to? Well, to be honest not a great deal! I am still beavering away on Beverly's birthday blanket but thankfully it is nearing completion now. Which is just as well, since the gruesome-twosome will be celebrating their 21st birthdays on the 28th January ~ and I have to get said blanket posted up to Beverly in Orkney in time! I only have about 6 or 8 rows left to crochet then it will just be the edging to do to finish it off. I have to say that I am very pleased with my efforts ~ I just hope that my little girl will like it too. I wasn't really sure about all the different colours at first but now that it is almost finished I like the way they look together. Once Beverly has received it, sweetie~pies, I will be able to show you all some photos :-) There will be plenty of yarn leftover from the project so I will probably make Beverly some little bits and pieces to go with the blanket. I would quite like to make a cover for a large cushion and have been mulling over in my mind how to approach it. And if there is still yarn left after that, then I think some crocheted clothes-hanger covers may well be on the agenda. Hey, methinks that solves some of my Monthly Make for 2012 projects ~ with Beverly's blanket being the January offering LOL |
