Better late than never!

 Just a few photos from the last ten days.
Christmas morning with OH,daughter inlaw and our three Cambridge grandchildren.Two hours after returning from spending Xmas in Cambridge our daughter,son in law and our two Northwich grandchildren arrived for the weekend.
 There is nothing to beat an Emily cuddle watching the TV!
 Not a very glamourous photo but waking up on our anniversary morning to cuddle with Emily and Ruby was great.OH was making a cup of tea.

So,we had a really lovely Xmas and anniversary,saw lots of the family and enjoyed quiet New Year in.
My first make of 2015.Second sock to follow.I have also started a 2ply lace scarf and ordered some wool to make myself a sweater.I have started the year with good intentions.Long may it last.

We have moved house.

Five weeks ago we moved house.Normally people of our age downsize and move to a bungalow.Not us!!!We have gone from a bungalow to a bigger house.Two reaons fo rmoving really.We wanted toget nearer to town.Now we are just a five minute walk(on the flat) from the shops and we have four bedrooms.The move totally exhausted us but we are thrilled with the house and it's position.Above is a photo of the garden.Not your usual patch of lawn but little paths wandering across the lawn.Very little crafting has been done since the move but now most of the xmas shopping is done and energy levels restored I shall be off again.Watch this space!!!

My latest blanket.......almost finished!

 This is my latest banket.You all know I am addicted to making blankets.This is not quite finished in that I have the edging to do.Quite a daunting task but I wanted to show you how it looked so far.The granny square pattern is from Jane Brocket's The Gentle Art of Knitting(I know it is crocheted but there is a crochet section!)It gobbles up the wool but makes for a thicker blanket.I used Stylecraft Special D.K.which is quite cheap but very soft and comes in 54 shades.I must say I am thrilled with how the colours have gone together and as the nights get colder working on a blanket is lovely and cosy and warm.
