After a leisurely breakfast I decided it was now or never and proceeded to get the lawn mower out and yes I have managed to get the front and the back lawns done. So far no rain, just shows you how wrong you can be about a dark sky.
I have had a busy few days preparing for our holiday and can now report that we are ready to go. All the paperwork is in order and I have checked it all twice. The suitcases are out and everything laid out ready to be packed.
Fast passes and Disney dining reservations have been booked, so Mickey Mouse are you ready for two very excited little girls and a crazy Granny?
I have just wound some arran wool into manageable balls so that I can take a small project with me for the plane. I still need to sort out a couple of books for some light holiday reading and a crossword or two, but other than that we are ready. FLORIDA HERE WE COME!
I have caught up with all the house and garden jobs so now I intend to have a couple of hours sat in front of the stove. I want to finish the granny square blanket ready for our new baby grandson. I am on the last round.
I had rather hoped that the little people or fairy would come along and sew in all the ends, but alas that was not to be so I had quite the task sewing them all in. A lesson learnt I think, sew the ends in as you go along. Do you leave them to the end or do you sew as you go?
See you soon.
Have a great time. Sounds like a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteVisiting from Connie's blog! I mostly just knit dishcloths. I don't weave those ends until I am done knitting. Not my favorite job! Your baby blanket is lovely! Nancy
Wow, you have been busy, as I see from scrolling through this and a few previous posts (I am woefully behind in my blog visiting!). I hope you have a wonderful holiday. It sounds as though you are all organized, even for the return home, with meals awaiting you. That's a beautiful blanket.
ReplyDeleteYour afghan looks so cozy and I'm sure grandbaby will like it for a long time. I hope your holiday goes well to America. Long plane flight but it will be good with you and granddaughters! Hubby going too? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'll come over and sew the ends if you will teach me how to join the squares with that lovely ridge!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful granny square blanket -love the colours you have used in the centres.
