Getting It Right

There are those days when everything goes right. For a few days now it has been bothering me that my ripple blanket wasn't really looking like the picture in the Jan Eaton book, or Attic24's lovely example - mine didn't so much ripple, as frill out. So I un picked the lot and began again, and again - and at the end of the 2nd row of that 3rd attempt, it suddenly hit me that my pattern reading skills are rubbish and I'd been reading something very, very incorrectly. So for the 4th time I began again - and look!! My ripples are rippling!!!!

In the horrid realisation that I start back at work tomorrow, I ransacked youngest twin's room and cleared it out. There were even 2 boxes in there from when we had moved here, 2 years ago!! Finally her room looks decent; the washing machine has run twice today with stuff I've picked off her floor and the recycling bin is now full and desperate for the bin men to come. Filled with a sense of achievement I tackled the understairs cupboard. The DC is going to hit the roof any minute when he comes in and sees what I've put on the landing to go into the attic - he thinks it's just going to be the Christmas decorations. Oh oh, he's back - got to dash - but I did find my long lost Monsoon handbag under the stairs!!
