What You Doing Wednesday Week 55

I hope everyone's week is going well!

Number one son had to go for his first

blood tests yesterday :-(

He has been having quite a lot of nosebleeds

and they just want to double check his blood counts.

I had low platelets when I was a toddler 

so they just want to make sure.

It didn't go very well.

They used the new plastic needles

and it kept popping out of his vein.

He'd had "magic cream" to make the 

area numb but it didn't help due to them having

to keep putting the needle in.

We are buying him a treat after school to make up for it.

On a brighter note we have a family project 

going on.

All 3 of us are working on this one.

Little Red is learning about nocturnal animals at school.

He wanted to make something for the theme.

We have decided to make a automata.

The idea is as you turn the handle the background 

will change from day to night.

When it's at night the badger and the hedgehog 

will pop out of their holes and then

when it changes to day they will disappear back into the holes.

Here is how far we've got so far:

As you can see it needs painting and the hedgehog & badger making.

The big thing is it works.

It's been great working on this all together.

Little Red is so excited.

As usual he is being very exact about what he wants.

I'm also making a square:

This may look finished but there

are quite a few rows of the flower

before I've finished.

I'm also making another square from 

Rowan's Learn to Crochet
