Well I promised myself that I would be more dedicated to the blog and commit to a post a week but it just hasn't happened. Friday was the end of the financial year down under and work again just got in the way. Each year its been getting increasingly busy and this year was pretty bad. Even with my extra hours I ended up doing more hours on top of it and we didn't start the process of getting a new person on either.
This afternoon I should be able to finish attaching the last square the Maestro's blanket and will start working on the border. It's been good to be able to snuggle under 4 squares as I do the final 2 and it should be better now that there are 6 to snuggle under as the weather has been cold and wet.
I've been purchasing more crochet patterns and a couple of skeins of wool from a poll merino sheep farm which is the softest and luxurious wool I've ever felt. I plan to make a blanket out of it I already have a scarf started in a previous skein I purchased and I just love the feel and way it makes up I had to have more.
I have purchased a couple of amigurumi patterns, I'm hoping they are simple. Will see but I like the idea of maybe making something small with crochet that are quick and hopefully easy. Fingers crossed the experiments works and I have something to show in a couple of weeks.
Mo is on uni break at the moment but is still going in once a week for the Grad Show Committee, she has managed to pick up a dreadful bug last week which had her spending a couple of days in bed but she is almost over it now.
Mo did pottery as an elective at uni this semester and I will leave you with her finished works. The final project was to create a set of 6 matching cups and there are also some of her other pieces. We love the cups they are a perfect size and shape and wonderful to use.

Hopefully the worst of the end of the finicial year stuff is done and your hours will be more normal for a while. Mo's cups look really great, our favorite coffee cups are porcelain, they hold the heat really well. Hope you get in more crafting time this month. You are cold and wet while we are hot and humid. I'm not sure which one I tolerate better, neither are fun. Have a great week.
