Just a quick one ...

Here is my completed crochet blanket...it is the first one I have ever made ! I have tried to crochet so many times before but just never quite got it. My good friend told me to try chunky wool and a bigger crochet hook. She also showed me what to do and here it is

My daughter has claimed this blnaket..she wraps it around her at night time ! I am now working on a stripey blanket which my son has already claimed as his !

2nd week of the summer holidays

So we have had my step daughter over from new Zealand so we have been having lots of fun with her and my other two children. We went out for the day to Great Yarmouth and for some reason the girls decided to wear lacy knickers over their trousers....

yes they did get lots of strange looks ! We also went into a place called Amazonia where they have lots of different reptiles as well as some furries.

We then had lunch at a chinese buffet....

We did also have a game of crazy golf but about half way round a big storm rolled in and so I didnt get a chance to take any photos of that. It was really funny thought trying to play crazy golf when it was raining really hard... the thunder and lightning then started. So we quickly ran round the course to the last hole.

On a crafty note my crochet blanket has grown lots and I am on my second ball of wool. My daughter has claimed it but she wants it big enough to cover her whole body so I think I am going to need another 2 balls of wool to get it that big. I have also been working on a heaven and earth cross stitch design which is coming along nicely.

Until next time x
