Boys!!!

After constantly changing his mind about colours, patterns etc Jake has decided to wait until he gets back to school to see what the other boys in his room have for their 'blankets'. So there is material cut and ready and waiting to go.

 This week is always a hard week for me as all my sewing is getting Jake ready to go back to school and after nearly 8 weeks of having him at home I will miss him lots. We have one week left together before travelling up a week on Saturday to the out-laws ready to go to school on Sunday.

I always make a list of craft things I would like to do when Jake goes back to school, some I know I will never do or have the money to do, but, it's nice to have that wish list/dream sheet to look at.

My crocheted granny squares are multiplying, they are quick to do and require no brain space. Other things apart from Jake's quilt to be made are;

 2 new aprons for me,

 to back and quilt my quilt

 to knit 2 pairs of socks one for a friend who is moving into a huge old house (heating costs astronomical, and, I suspect draughty!!) and another pair for Father in law.....part of his present for that festival at the end of the year that is not to be mentioned yet,( though it dosen't hurt to be prepared!!)

I think the weather for the weekend is supposed to be ok so, I think there could be a walk in Wales, a trip to Slimbridge and, possibly a trip to Bath and, maybe we might even get to Stonehenge!!!!

Have a super Bank Holiday weekend if I don't post before. xx
