It's Been A Busy Week...

Wow! What a busy week it's been.  First of all on Monday Twinnee had her back operation.  Everything went well and she was allowed to go home on Tuesday.  It's amazing how quickly they let you leave hospital these days, but I guess if they think there's not much else they can do that you can't get at home, it's one more bed they can fill.  I finished sewing up Pepper(mint) - my adorable little bunny I've been working on from littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk

Now I'm knitting her dress but have only knitted a few rows as I had to work on my Valentine project for work.

Over the past couple of years since I've been working at Crate & Barrel I've been participating in our little holiday crafting competitions.  This year for Valentines Day we had the choice of using a brown bag - lunch bag size or a size 3 C&B box.  I chose the box and made a stuffed whale.  Originally I was going to make a "beached " whale (being me out by the pool!) but decided that someone might take offense so changed my mind at the very last minute.  It's okay - but it won't win.  The flip flops and bikini are still sitting on my dining room table with the "what might have been" look!! 

I booked my ticket home to England for two weeks in March/April to help Twinnee with her recovery so had to go out and start my gift shopping!!  Then on Thursday I had to clean the house because M and K were coming home for the weekend.  We had a lot of fun.  We went out for dinner on Friday night and then on Saturday we played some board games, went bowling, ordered in food and spent a lot of time with The Bean and Sissy (grand daughters).  They left Sunday afternoon and then in the evening I went to Bahama Breeze for dinner because we won a free dinner at work for everyone.  That was fun as I don't get to spend much time with a lot of the people at work because I work in the back and they work on the sales floor.  And then this morning we (hubby, daughter and The Bean and Sissy) went to the mall to get a few clothes for me and the girls.

 So I'm way behind on doing anything craft related and even looking on Pinterest!  And I'm a day late posting my photo-a-day.  Here they are

Peanut (on the right) and Pixie - the other members of the family and dear Lucy our black lab.  Maddie our yellow lab doesn't like her picture being taken so I doubt she'll ever make it to my blog in a picture!

I'm going to try and sneak in a few rows of knitting now before I have to babysit.  Sorry for such a long post, I'll try better this week.  Until next time...
