Progress... kind of...

Thanks for all of your encouraging words re: the crochet. Unfortunately I got to nearly the halfway point of joining my granny squares when I realised the first three rows I put together were done in the wrong order! Arghh! (It looked great, though!)
I've yet to pull it apart - too much to do, so little time!!
I've tucked in over half the ends for the ripple blanket, and know I will get the rest done on Tuesday when I'm baby-sitting (the boys sleep for about 2 hours after lunch!).

Miss J is off to Paris and London for a couple of weeks on Thursday, so I've sewn her a draw-string dirty laundry bag for the trip. I need to make her another for her shoes, and probably one to house the ripple blanket (which is to be posted off this Wednesday!!). Ollie needs a couple for his toys, which I guess isn't urgent....
I'm off to a friend's 40th on Saturday night, so nave to make her a gift, and I was also hoping to embellish a skirt I made from this book to wear on the night.

That's not too ambitious for just under a week, is it?

For yours and the ripple blanket's sake, I really hope you haven't jinxed a two hour sleep after lunch. As soon as I say stuff like that: Voila! No more nap! Ever!

Those granny squares look gorgeous - wrongly put together or not.
