Finally finished

Well its taken several months but I have finally finished the baby blanket and wash mitts for my next door neighbor. I am very proud of myself I am a very basic knitter and this is the largest piece I have ever made I usually stick with wash mitts, scarfs, and headbands. Here it is in all its glory

Its is around half the length of a single duvet and just as wide

And here it is with the wash mitts

It is all in the wash now and will be soaked over night in baby pure fabric conditioner, air dried, and wrapped ready to give her when baby puts in her appearance. So that's 2 gifts made just another 2 to do oh and 3 cards to make. I will probably do the cards tonight and if I feel up to it DGD toiletry set. The coffee cake I am making for them both will be made on Sunday to give them when they come to visit on Monday. I also have to make a coffee cake for mum's visit on Saturday and I think I may attempt my first ever lemon drizzle cake to. Once all this lot is finished I have a few months off of present making as the next birthday is not until June. So I will probably make a start on some xmas prezzies yes I know i'm very early but hey best to get ahead. The plan is to make scarfs for everyone this year and a homemade treat basket each with xmas cookies, mince pies, and xmas chocolates. I think this will be more than enough for the family. For the boys I am hoping to make them a scarf each, a bed topper each, a teddy each, a book from the charity shop, a DVD of their choice, and a few small bits and pieces I will buy throughout the year.

I have my specialist appointment tomorrow and I am really hoping they can do something to help me with my MD. I know I will be looking at more surgery something I had hoped to avoid but if its going to improve my quality of life then its worth the aggro.

Much Love
