WIP - Crochet - C2C Baby Blanket

I have been working on this for a while but I am not entirely happy with it.

I'm using Bendigo Woollen Mills cotton in 4 ply. I love the colour and the texture of the yarn but I am not all that happy with the size. It's going to be rather small.
I'm thinking of frogging it (eeek! I know right) and using the yarn to make something else. Perhaps something from that new book I just received in the post.

Thankful Thursday

Here's what I am thankful for this week:

• sunshine and blue skies
• spending time out of the house with the boys
• that Brodie is healing well & that it is now three weeks since his surgery and still NO seizures!
• my postie - I got a vintage pattern book that I bought off ebay the other day. I looked at the copyright ©1967 (o_O) 
• that Brodie was able to enjoy time away from home with a carer the other day and that he didn't come back exhausted
• snuggles with Missy Issy (she turned 2 last weekend)

What are you thankful for this week?

Video: Comic Recreates Autism Spectrum

This video explains things clearly about how each person on the Autism Spectrum are all different. I just wish the psychiatrist/psychologist that met Brodie for a whole 30 minutes back in April knew this. I am still annoyed that after that short conversation she had with him that she could come to the conclusion that Brodie doesn't have Asperger's Syndrome. Silly woman!

Thankful Thursday

Here's what I am thankful for this week:

• that Brodie's surgical incision is healing really well. He had the staples removed on Tuesday morning
• so far so good and Brodie has had no seizures since July
• for Angus going job hunting, although I believe he needs to try harder
• keeping my sanity when trying to knit. Although it has been a struggle. I've given up trying to knit or crochet any baby items right now. I've doing another corner to corner blanket
• mild weather where I have been able to get my washing out on the clothes line and that it's dried! YAY! Always a good thing to have your washing dried outdoors. It gives it a fresher smell and it just feels cleaner.

What are you thankful for this week?

I Hate Frogging!

I am so annoyed with my knitting. I tried making a baby cardigan but I have had to pull it apart (frog it) three times because I either made a mistake or I just didn't like how it was looking.

I have now decided that knitting is too much for me right now. I am going back to crochet!

I am currently working on a pattern by Heather from Just Crochet.

I haven't worked from her patterns for a while & so far so good (~_O)

Knitting Book - One-Skein Wonders for Babies

I saw a review for this book on Facebook by Retro Mummy 2 weeks ago.

I liked the look of it and considering it's for babies I thought why not get a copy myself. 

I ordered it from Angus and Robertson on ebay. It arrived last week while Brodz and I were in the city. I've finally gotten around to looking at it properly.

No that I have completed The Midwife blanket that I began crocheting last week I plan of making some of the cute little patterns in this book.

How cute does this little set look?

I quite like these blankets as well.

I'm not sure what I will start with but I plan on using my Bendigo Woollen Mill 4 ply cotton that I have had in my stash for ages.

Lions House - Home Away From Home

Before Brodie had surgery last week we needed to visit the Austin Hospital everyday for various appointments from MRI's to Visual Perceptions tests.

We didn't wish to travel back and forth to Gippsland everyday. It's a 101 km (62.7585 miles) trip from our home to the hospital (one way only). Not only is that very time consuming, especially during peak hour traffic, we just couldn't afford the fuel to travel back and forth everyday.

We were fortunate enough to stay at Lions House in Heidelberg. 

It truly was a home away from home. We met quite a few lovely people there.

Brodie has some follow up appointments in September and then a whole series of tests scheduled for November (about 6 appointments over 3 days) . We are going to be booked in at Lions House when we return for the tests.

The room we stayed in.

One of the communal lounge and kitchen areas.

Thankful Thursday

Here's what I am thankful for this week:

• that Brodie's surgery was a success & his surgeons are very happy with how it went.
• for Brodie being discharged on Monday. Not bad considering his surgery was only last Thursday. THERE's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
• for Angus stepping up and doing all sorts of jobs around the home while I was in the city with Brodz. Angus basically looked after our home doing the washing, cleaning, dishes and cooking. Thank you so much kiddo I really appreciate it!!
• for coming home
• for my crochet and reading .. they helped keep me occupied while I sat beside Brodie's hospital bed as he slept
• for Brodie's recovery. He is coming a long in leaps and bounds. Considering he had brain surgery he is doing brilliantly!

What are you thankful for this week?

Better late than never as far as posting this photo of my temperature blanket.

I didn't take the blanket with me when Brodie was in hospital last week. Mind you I did have a lot of time on my hands while he was an in-patient.

I spent about an hour or so last night catching up on last weeks rows.

Off To The Austin Hospital

I probably wont be posting much at all this week. Brodie and I leave for the Austin Hospital in about an hour. He has his BIG surgery on Thursday. The neurosurgeons will be removing his right frontal lobe.

Brodz has a few scans and tests that need to be completed before Thursday. So we are staying in the city.

As I am only taking my phone with me I may be unable to do any blog posts. In uninstalled Blogger a while back as I was having problems with it.

Wish us luck!
