I've Made Friday Week 76

I hope you are all having a good week.

Things are starting to get back to normal

now Little Red is back at school.

I had problems with my medication

so I've been back to the doctors and I've

got some new medication to deal

with the side effects of my current medication.

I've arranged that I can start doing most of my consultations

by phone. That way I don't have to go in and catch more infections.

I wanted a nebuliser for when I catch a lung infection 

but they won't prescribe me one.

Fingers crossed I don't get that bad again but if I do 

I will have to go to A&E again.

Little Red is getting more independent.

I don't want to put him in danger so we are finding ways

where he can still be safe but do things for himself.

At school I walk him to the gate and he goes into the school property

on his own.

I watch him from the fence but it means that he can feel a little more independent.

If the ice cream van arrives at the park

I am watching him but letting him go and buy his own ice cream.

They are only little steps but he is proud to be doing things

himself and not having me with him.

Now onto what I've made this week.

I haven't finished Theo the Teddy Bear yet so you'll have to 

wait till next week.

I have however finished one of my angels:

I bought the pattern on Ravelry

Little Angel Lavender

by Katka Reznickova

I stuffed it with stuffing but put lavender in the middle so it smells beautiful.

I enjoyed the pattern but got a bit confused in a few places.

There are diagrams so it's easy to figure out.

I was disappointed there weren't instructions or pictures for the hair.

I think overall it's a good pattern and I'm enjoying making them.

I finished my snake bookmark:

Doesn't he look fantastic!

from the Snake Bookmark Pattern

by Little Owl's Hut

You can make them in so many colours and they look so fun.

The pattern is really easy to follow

and the pictures show exactly what you need to do.

The shaping makes the knot easier and 

I think it works really well.

The face is so effective and I love the way the bookmark was put together.

Ekaterina has some amazing patterns:

I finished reading:

      

My Merlin Awakening

by Priya Ardis
I really enjoyed this book.
I prefered book 1 but can't wait to read book 3.
The mix of  Arthurian and Greek mythology is fantastic.
I love the way they make everything sound so feasible.
It's such fun reading about all the myths you've grown up with.
The main characters Ryan, Merlin (Matt) & Vane
have a fantastic mix of personalities and interactions.
It's an exciting book that has a good mix of love, loss & fight to save the world.
I would give this book 4.5 out of 5
