This is a custom order that I just finished. It goes with the last pair I showed you, and I get to dye matching shirts now

I also got the basket in the bathroom emptied last night, so now ya’ll won’t have to read about that anymore

I will be starting some baby things tonight, finally! I have decided to crochet the layette.

I emptied the laundry basket in my bedroom. It’s finished now, except for putting the wall stuff up. Yay me and I rock. I was gonna go right on to the basket in the bathroom and finish it, but *someone* who shall remain nameless, but whose initials are DH decided they needed to use the facilities. Hmmph. Someone *else* was not thinking fast enough on her feet to tell him to bring the basket out first. She shall also remain nameless, but her initials are me.

Chucks

What kind of shoe are you?

DS#2 looks much better today. But DS#3 barfed this morning. Some days are like that, I guess, even in Australia

Here is DD#4’s blanket with 3 of the 5 repeats:

And here is the second set for the Santa Train, finished. My mom made the hat.

This is a crocheted Einstein, made with Plymouth Encore Colorspun. The set took 3 balls in color 7125.

We have our living room back! And the whole bathroom vanity! And the toilet side of the master bathroom! I moved a bunch of yarn out of the living room as well! And I think I will finish the little sweater sometime tonight, too!

All that remains of the moving mess is a pile in the middle of the bathroom floor belonging to DD#1, a laundry basket plus of stuff on my dresser and a mountain to take to goodwill.

Oh yeah, and getting the camera batteries changed, so ya’ll can see what I’ve been up to

So, we’re under quarantine, imposed by me. DS#3 doesn’t just have sore eyes, but the dreaded pink eye. Last time, half the kiddos got it, and we had a miserable couple of weeks. One of the “hazards” if you will of a large family is that an illness can take us out of the loop for 6 weeks or more, as it gets passed around. I don’t take my children out to infect others when they are ill, see. That’s rude, so we stay home. And if the rest of the world shared that philosophy, I would not now have a 5yo with pink eye.

I finished the 3rd repeat on DD#4 blanket last night. I’ll get a pic for you as soon as I wake up enough to remember how to operate the camera. Actually, I have to change the batteries. Which entails finding the batteries. Which were moved in the move.

Speaking of move, that’s going well. I did get dh’s side of the bathroom vanity in usable form last night, and also got the ring out of the toilet. The girls got more stuff out of the living room. We’ll continue working on that today.

In Southport yesterday, I picked up the rest of the baby yarn, as promised. Also, the last skein of yarn for the Santa Train sweater. I picked that back up again last night. A sleeve and a half remain, so I expect to finish that up shortly. I also picked up one ball of another print in Encore Colorspun, just because I wanted to see it worked up. I’ll see what it does, and than FIND something to make with it

Weird title, eh? Well, the point is, all the furniture is now where it belongs. I have a pile of stuff on my dresser, there is a hill of stuff in the bathroom that belongs to DD#1, and a mountain of girl stuff in the living room. But it should just take a couple of days to deal with that. Then I can sanitize the bathroom. How can 2 girls be so dirty? Those little princesses are gonna be in for a real shock one day! LOL.

DS#1 was up puking last night. DS#2 woke up with sore eyes. And I am off to Southport soon for retail therapy. Well, not really. But I am going to pick up the baby’s yarn today And return that leftover foul Lopi.
