One a Day Project - Tuesday's Tallies

Tuesday mornings are a very exciting day here. I get up and do the usual morning stuff, of getting at least three out of the four children dressed, supervising teethbrushing, organising school bags, making packed lunches, brushing hair and finally loading up the pushchair with Pippa and the bags and heading out the door. On the way home I start to think about my Tuesday's Tallies post, where I am going to take my photograph, just how much progress I've made and wondering whether you are all very bored of seeing my colourful circles yet! Once we get home, I quickly snap my photo, make a cup of tea and settle down to write my post.

This week, I haven't as much done as I had hoped. I had a few days last week where no crochet was done at all which knocks me off for the rest of the week. Yesterday, I had planned to catch up so I could share seven squares with you but I decided I simply had to make Pippa a warm hat and so the knitting needles came out and I made her a cute beret. So my progress for this week, four more squares for my Sunny Spread and 23 little squares added to my cushion cover, which is my most favourite project. Working on it makes me giddy with delight. I love the little squares, the colours and the yarn is just so lovely. I simply cannot wait to finish this so I can snuggly up with my baby grannies.
Oh my, Pippa has just walked past and doesn't smell so good so I think it's time to go! I also have some shopping planned for today, I feel the need for a yarny fix!

  3. That's going to be one gorgeous colourful cushion. I'm always struggling to balance the larger projects around my smaller, quicker fix, projects. A new, exciting make always seems to be favoured!

    Hope you find some yarny goodness.
