Turning a corner and seeing Harry


This has been a very busy time for us all, we have had LovelyDaughter1 graduating year 10 and passing all subjects, LovelyDaughter2 finishing year 9 and passing all subjects, LovelySon1 finishing his first year in high school passing all his subjects and then LovelySon2 finishing his year 8, after transferring to his new school half way through the year and passing all his subjects and receiving an award for his efforts.

We have had poor LovelyHubby battling the flu which has taken a rather nasty turn into pneumonia which has managed to knock him off his feet, his medication looks like something a horse should take, but with luck he should begin to turn the corner and begin to feel better very soon

In between taking the kids to various end of year events and looking after poor LovelyHubby I caved into the uber strong urge to knit some socks and have turned the heel of the first sock:



I am making the Hermione socks, the pattern is easy to follow and looks great but it is not easing the sock craving, it has made it worse, I have already got two more skeins ready to make into balls for another pair and ordered a ball last night from eBay for yet another pair, people may be getting socks for Christmas next year at this rate!

I have, as of last night, finished the front of Harry Potterpuff, I have the back part of the cushion to make and then the simple seam closing to do but then it is in the mail, finally, to wing it's way down to my mum for Christmas, thank goodness for next day delivery from our postal service!!! Without further ado here is Harry in all his bright pink glory:


His glasses look blue in the pictures but they are actually green. And here he is with his Snape Potterpuff buddy:


I think that my mum is going to like them.

I hope that all the Christmas rushing about is over for you all and that you are able to enjoy this last week before the large man in red delivers his cheer. Stay safe.
