A Couple of Things I Missed!

After Munchie had been home for a few days.....
.... and he was back to school, his assignment in art class was to draw a picture of what he did during March break...here it is!  The top row is Munchie, myself and Poppa.  The bottom row is Munchie and Mommy when they went to the mall while Curtie was here. If you click on the picture it will enlarge so you can see it better.  He looks happy to be with Nanna and Poppa!

One of our neighbours asked for a very small favour which we were happy to do.  A couple of days later........
........ these beautiful spring tulips were delivered to our front door by her daughter.  Taffy admired them for a much longer time than I had anticipated they would last.  Such a pretty colour and it was still cold out so they brightened our days!
In fact, it was chilly enough that the bears still had their warm jammies on.  Taffy almost fell - but Charlee caught her just in time!

More Projects

I have finished a couple of more projects...
.... one of which required another long length of lace border to be attached....
.... but Taffy gave me a hand with the sewing and the end result was quite nice.  That picture doesn't really show the colors too well though - too bright!
And - this one is too dark - but those are the best pictures I could get that day - the lighting just wasn't favorable!  Anyway - as you can see, this blanket was quite girlie... so ...
...... I took a break from my knitting needles while Curtis came for a couple of days during the school March break.  He was only here for a couple of days because.....
............ Munchie had to have a turn too.  He was happy to see Squeegie, but bored with my household chores, so he was actually watching TV while Poppa was having a coffee with Uncle David.  He was only here for a short time too, and then....
... I got my knitting needles back out again and made a girlie outfit to send to the hospital with the blanket.

Catch Up

Here I am - trying to get caught up again.  It should get easier - since the golf season has started and Poppa is busy doing that, which gives me more time to work on the blog!

So....
........ after spending about 3/4 of an hour stitching on the lace border for this blanket......
... here is the finished product.  It is amazing how different it looks taken in natural light as opposed to the energy-saving light emitted by our light fixtures!  Anyway - it has since gone to the hospital tuck shop and disappeared rather quickly!  That is good!

Of course, I am so far behind in my posts that it was still chilly then and you can see the bears are wearing their warm fleece pyjamas!  And....
......... they had to put their winter coats on to go out for breakfast on Saturday mornings!

In the meantime.....
......... Poppa took some leisure time and did jigsaw puzzles on his computer.... nice to see him relaxing for a change!
