I have three quarters sewn a patchy type throw for daughter never done anything like it before and I am not sure how it is going to evolve as making it up as I go along {rofwl} I have some little baskets as well BM and going to make some eye masks for my neighbours older girls and make up little pamper baskets. for them. Still mulling over ideas for other people, the dogs are getting fleecy blankets with there names embroidered on them and home made dog biscuits.

Thanks ladies, I'll have even more time to do stuff now as i lost my job last week. I'm totally fine about it, the place is going downhill and I was really unhappy there, its just a bit of a nightmare. Ive applied for a couple of things so far, but will apply for more when we pay the internet bill tomorrow. We've had a ridiculously hard up month its been grim with a lot of stress and tears. But were grand, we get paid tomorrow and can see light at the end of the tunnel x
