You can never have enough...

Gorgeous patterns, mica The sweater looks an easy knit and shouldn't take long to knit.

MrK is fine, it did give him a fright though and he has agreed to wear an alarm. We think he was sitting on the bed and went to shuffle up towards his pillow and missed the bed. Luckily no harm was done.

It is very frightening, especially when we realise we have to find a way to get up...

I have a yen to make one of those casual blanket jackets, with the blanket stitch edging. I keep seeing beautiful blankets that remind me of the ones we use to snuggle under, and I get all nostalgic. It couldn't be too hard surely to work out a simple pattern...

morning ladies It's wild and woolly out there. Am so grateful our two big trees have gone.

One of those blanket jackets would be lovely and snuggly, OHH. I shouted myself a pair of slippers made from that type of fabric from a well advertised slipper and bag NZ website on FB. They are super cosy and along with my merino socks, my toes are toasty. They cost a small fortune but with a good sole, they will last for years. Pink, orange and blue slippers worn with orange, red, yellow, green and blue spotty socks lol. Can see me coming a mile off

Housework for me today, it won't take long to do and then hopefully I can be outside. Might move a bit more sand into the bins. It has almost gone, less than a third to go. Then a bit more work on the seahorse maybe.

Might make a start now my coffee has finished.

Morning everyone

Shes a blustery old day out. Glad I dont have to go out in it.

I cant do slippers or socks for long.. I hate hot feet lol.., but in places like hospital I wear those horrible non slippy ones cos of their floors. and I kinda hope they help prevent bugs from the floors.

I have a couple of calls to make today. My games and then I will make myself do something. Sitting watching tv is a waste of time and I have all manner of things I could do, just very little motivation.

Yeah Im too am glad you dont have those trees Kiwimade.. Thankfully my fruit trees are all away from the house. The grapefruit are breaking the thinner limbs off the tree.

Stay safe, warm and dry everyone

I am falling to bits lost half my eye tooth last night while eating a nice piece crumbled fish goodness knows when I will get dentist appointment. Havexraken a photo and emailed for an appointment.

Enjoy your day

What a rough and tumble night, and now day out there. The trees are dancing and their last leaves losing their grip. I sometimes think that is why we get these storms at this time of year, mama nature doing her housework, and giving the dirt a nice big drink at the same time. Lots of wet, but no flooding so far on our flow paths, so the heavy stuff might still be coming. Tatty was keen to see what was what so we stood on the doormats and checked it out, but neither of us ventured much further. The garden is enjoying it though, I could hear the whispering.

I like the idea of your slippers and socks k m, you would smile at my Snags collection. I am especially proud of the yellow tights with black skulls, though the red ones with bats are great fun too. A little touch of pure silliness makes life so much more interesting, and there is a little burst of pleasure to be had from choosing the maddest combination from my excellent sock or tights collection. Winter should be a time for the brights.

I found a couple of good tutorials for the blanket jackets last night, and even one for a sleeveless version which could be a good test piece. This just might be a good project, we shall see.

Only the dishes to do when MrK has had his breakfast and the kitchen floor to mop.

lol love the sound of your tights, OHH Nothing like bright colours to cheer us up in the winter. It's probably why I'm stitching blues, teals and greens.

The wind is becoming stronger, and the rain has hit us. I heard on the radio quite a few businesses are telling staff to work from home today because of the storm. Sensible when the job can be done without the worry of driving into work. My sister finds she gets more done from home too as there are fewer interruptions. Handy when she has big reports to write.

Cold & rainy here so made a pot of Pumpkin soup after Madame le Dog & I braved the elements for the compulsory walk; we did the rainy day special as its slightly shorter.

Friday Funny posted over in General discussion, & I added a fairly oldish joke I found on FB because it made me laugh again.
