Long time no post

Hi all.

No blog from me since November. 4 Months! That's crazy!

Work has been frantic. The school I work in has just had an Ofsted. We don't officially hear for a couple more weeks on the result but fingers crossed it'll be OK.

I've been crocheting steadily but not getting very far. I still haven't completed the Realta or the yarn eater blankets. In fact, I haven't even picked them up. Instead I've been making photo props for a photographer friend of mine. I've made a mermaids outfit, sailors hats, nappy (diaper) covers and hairbands with exchangeable flowers. 

I started another blanket made from granny squares in 3 different sizes. It also has 2 x 2 squares as well. It's probably a little over baby blanket size at the moment so I may give it away to a colleague who's 5 months pregnant at the moment

Over the Christmas holidays I finally got round to sorting out my craft room. A trip to Ikea later and it was complete. I hasten to say it doesn't look quite as neat as this now....

I was very excited today as my Mothers day present arrived today. I know I shouldn't have opened it but N. got it delivered to the school and I couldn't resist. She told me to place an order on Wool Warehouse. It's free delivery on orders over £25 so I got some more stylecraft (2 more balls coming in a different package) and a pack of Clover hooks. They are plastic and have nicely coloured handles. I'll let you know how I get on with them later as I'm not actually allowed to use them until Sunday.

Will I be strong enough to resist?
