Lovely looking blanket DJ 

[Mama Fergie]

I was cold last night too Suzanne  

I have been cooking, washing and folding clothes. Going to Margaret River early tomorrow so need to be all packed up and ready to go as DH has a business meeting in Bussleton in the morning.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
I had to teach myself to join it from the net. Not done crochet before. Knitting the squares was easy!
Don't know if g or b AB.

Will go back to Internet and look at stitches, first will run all the ends in! That's today's job after lunch time visitors gone home.

Next time I do a blanket will join as I go or do strips that sew together. However I feel this is almost art as well as a snugly blanket.

Well it's snowing here again today and I am utterly fed up with it.   Yesterday the pipe on our outside tap burst and water was gushing out and forming an ice rink.   Luckily our builder was nearby and he came to the rescue fairly quickly.

[Cornish Cream]

Oh Nooo Katya Glad to hear that you got it sorted very quickly.I hate anything that involves water/plumbing

[droverjess]

Poor you Katya. Glad it was sorted.
It's horrid weather and forecast is for a cold April. I've just been looking at long range forecast. Really grim for the farmers.
Roll on summer.

We've enjoyed any TV programme recently filmed in summer, made us feel warmer!

Lovely blanket DJ. So much work involved. What a lovely gift it will be. Maybe a satin ribbon type edge sewn on to finish off?

Another hot day here. Think it reached 35c. Serious grass fire about 80kms to the south west with 3 firefighters in hospital. Hoping for wind and rain change soon. Hoping Maddy's DH is not out fighting yet another fire, but presume he is. Hurry up winter.

On a better nite, made hot cross buns with kindergarten class today. They turned out quite well. Definitely some budding young 4 yo cooks there.

CC, DJ and Katya I do hope things improve for you. It is hard to imagine cold so severe that it forms icicles and causes taps to burst as the water freezes.

He was Kimmy...left before lunch, and got home at 11 PM, before a relief crew took over.
It was pretty big.  Hubby said a couple of the tankers had to go into survival mode  .  Wind is certainly the enemy!
Just hope there was no one in the houses that were destroyed.

On a search today to find Easter eggs that don't taste like crud, and are lactose free    That macro stuff is just  SO WRONG! 
Dissapointed that we're not going to Daylesford this Easter    As Once again, football has taken priority in this house 
Off to town today....will try and be good

[obbie]

work today, Just made the kids easter hats for parade

That I think would be almost impossible. Try your usual Easter eggs and acquire some lacteeze from the pharmacy.

[Wonder]

I need to do the same thing Maddie and no idea where to start. I'm not a chocolate eater and always just stored my easter eggs as a kid so no idea what does and doesn't taste good.

[droverjess]

We had visitors for lunch, and then another visitor turned up so that's been great for DH.
We now have 3 bunches of spring flowers, lovely. And a Lindt egg to share for Sunday.

Had a brisk 45 min walk at 5pm. Glad it is much lighter now but it is so blooming cold.

Converted a yummy soup recipe and posted it in soup thread.
Made flapjacks.

Ran all the ends in on the blanket  except for the edge. It has a lovely feel when it's on ones lap, even DH thought so too.
Satin, hadn't thought of that. Not sure my edge is even enough to stitch it on.
So you mean machine stitch or by hand Kimmy H?

Made a variation of Chookies wonderful added value bread and wrote about it.

[obbie]

yummy Bread DJ

[Halex]

DJ great blanket & bread.

Well this is going to be an interesting Easter, lr has croup, cp has a kidney infection & I have uselss cousins. Just about to blow it tonight if no help.
