Overwhelmed by Afghans

I'm feeling a bit stressed out because I have not just one, but 5 crochet afghans on the go at the moment. I started off in January following this year's CAL on Moogly's blog here 

 I chose my colours and made 3 squares plus half of one from last year's CAL....

then got bored so chose some new colours and made the same squares again plus another one and a half.

There are 7 squares so far on the blog so I need to get cracking to catch up. I do get bored very easily and as I have so many odd bits of  wool to use up I decided to make a stripey blanket.

 The other day Lucia's God daughter Sophia who's 2 and a half saw the stripey blanket and told Lulu as she calls her, that she wants a pink one making. Hence yet another one on the go!

 Finally....while browsing on Facebook yesterday I came across another CAL and this is an absolute stunner! Info is here. I couldn't resist having a try at this one because it's exactly what I've been looking for (even though I didn't know it) for myself. I love it! It's called Sophie and it's just beautiful. I've already finished 15 rounds :D

 Ok must crack on :D

A wonderful day in the Lakes

Yesterday being Easter Monday and the kids on holiday from school we made a picnic and took a trip to one of my favourite places......The Lake District. I just love it there and would live there if I didn't love Blackpool so much. The weather was awful when we set off, really foggy and cold, but when we arrived at Brockhole it began to change and the sun eventually came out. Apparently it stayed foggy all day in Blackpool so I'm glad we went! The kids played on the park to burn off some energy.

Then we had our picnic. Mario was being rude so had to take time out and stand in the corner haha.

After that we all went to watch a one man circus act. He was quite entertaining but not really a patch on what we get in Blackpool during Showzam.

Then the kids went on the Tree Nets and had a great time running, bouncing and sliding around them. I just wish I was younger and fitter and I'd have been up there with them. 

Photo bombed by Tina :)

Mario paid for us all to go on a boat trip which was perfect :)

     Then we let the kids (including Mario) have a few more minutes on the park

All in all an absolutely perfect day. Thank you Mario :D
