One week at a time

The time seems to be just flying by.....I do seem to get a few things done, but not as fast as I would like.....I guess there are no magic wands around to help out.

I am working on another crochet rug that my MIL was doing before she died. I have finished two of them and decided to finish another square she had started for my FIL as he said that my MIL was going to make him one to replace his old one which has just about fallen to pieces. I will get this done and give it to him for Christmas.

I did finish the cotton top I was doing it came up pretty nice, probably a bit big in the armhole area, but seeing as it is a summer top will let a lot of cool in.

I have all my Christmas shopping done....well all done in my head, I just need to make the time to go and physically do the shopping. I will have to look at some recipes and sought out what to have on Christmas Day and get that shopping done too....I would love to be all done except for the food items you can't get until the last minute before December arrives, so I can sit back and knit and relax....oh yeah....and work. I am just having the days off which work will be closed over the Christmas and New Year break, 11 days off will be great.

I have had a very nice day so far, I walked to the supermarket (Woolworths) with my grand-daughter and on the way back we stopped off at the park and played on the equipment. I even had a go on the swing, she reckons she swung higher than me....not sure that was correct, but she was going high for a 4 year old.

Below is the crochet rug my MIL started for my grand-daughter and I have finished. My FIL will give it to her for Christmas and the cotton top I made.

Now off to sit and crochet some more.
