I've Made Friday Week 70

I hope you are all having a good week.

I can't believe we are in August already.

Where is the time going?

Little Red has picked up his glasses

I can't believe how much older he looks!

We are going to be trying them out over the next couple of weeks

to see if it helps with his reading.

We have agreed that if they really help with his reading then he

can get another pair for school.

The optometrist didn't have any of the cool designs that are out there

so we'll go elsewhere and get some he really likes.

It will be easier having one pair kept at school and one pair kept at home.

Otherwise you know they will only get forgotten.

One of the shops I featured yesterday has a few more items listed in their shop.

I thought I would let you have a look at them

  

  

This week I have finished:

Liliana Crocheted Gauntlets

The pattern is from:

Cardiff Bay Handknits

I made mine a bit shorter as I have little stubby hands.

I love how they turned out.

This was a really easy pattern to follow

and I am sure even a newbie would be able to follow it.

I might make another pair for my gran.

Beth has loads of fantastic patterns for both knitters & crocheters:

  

  

  

You can find Beth at:

Ravelry     &      Etsy

Beth gifted me the pattern

but all views expressed are my own.

I also managed to finish off my Pig Hat

Three Little Pigs Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

It's a fantastic #free #crochet pattern from

Crafter Chick

There were a couple of small mistakes but I've let Crafter Chick know about them.

The instructions were really easy to follow.

I love the way she made the nose.

I haven't finished my scarf yet but I'll hopefully have it finished for next week.


I read this week:

  The story is based around Annie Ogden.
She is ex Army back from Iraq.
Her ex turns back up in her life and things
start to spiral out of control.
The next thing is a friend is dead and her ex
is arrested for the murder. 
She knows he is innocent but 
needs the help of her fiance to prove it.
At first the story was too slow for me.
I didn't feel the characters at first but once the real
story started I really started to enjoy it.
I would of preferred the real story to start sooner.
I think some of the things that happened in the first part
weren't needed.
I'm giving it 
3.5 out of 5

I also finished reading:

The Middle of Things
is another free audio book from
Books Should be Free
I am really enjoying J.S.Fletcher's books
and this one was no exception.
It starts with the murder of a gentleman
for the secrets he holds.
Can Viner (the main character in the book) prove
that his friend is innocent of the murder?
As he sets out to investigate and get the proof he needs
the story has lots of twists and turns.
I love the way you are always guessing who is involved
and what the next clue will reveal.
I give the book
5 out of 5
