Full moon, family time and STEAM

Hello out there.......roughly 11 days ago I saw this rising over our neighbors house and you know I love a full moon 😃😃

On Friday 12th my sis Julie and Carl came for the night......hello Jule lol xoxo 😈😈

TOOT TOOT goodbye......and my sis and hubby headed back home after having a fun time with me....Paul was back at home as he is a bit over steam lol

I am going to FINISH IT........

Hello again. Look at what I made this week lol. Got to love this skull, the pattern is from kristinskrazyknits blog or via ravelry as Day of the dead skull. It is quite easy and of course I love it.

And a lovely lady in the Ravelry group who I sometimes meet in person gave me this wonderful bat!!! Think I might try and put it on one of my tops or perhaps dress. Love him to bits, thank you Maree xoxo ☺

More of those fingerless mittens from the clever laughing purple challenge-mitts on ravelry or via her website for free. I have made heaps of these ☺

Also at the beginning of making something also from the wonderful Sharon, with my little doll Miss Hap helping me lol

 Right, now this is what I am going to FINISH.....this pile of  12 inch squares, 25 in total have been in the making since the beginning of 2010 for that years square a month challenge. Well, finally have completed all the squares I want and now to put them all together.

Laid them all out on our bed except for 2 that I had in the lounge getting ready to join.

Okay I have now joined them with single crochet across wise (horizontal) and now to continue with the gaps you can see vertically. Wish me luck as now I have said it here I have to finish lol.

Isn't this one cute, it has a little elephants face ☺☺

The colours of this blanket are cheap acrylic purple, black, grey and cream.

Hopefully when I post again this will be completed with a plain border around.

Thank you for all the lovely comments and to so many visitors here.

Take care my friends xoxo ♥
