The best laid plans!

Yesterday was lovely and sunny and warmish and it spurred me on the tidy up the garden (well the front garden anyway), ready for summer days sitting outside watching the kids playing out on there bikes, which usually gives me some quite time to work on what ever craft project i am working on at the time. I like to sit in the front as for some unknown reason its like being on another continent as its so much warmer and pleasant than the back garden and we are fortunate enough to overlook a large field. So after all that work ( it took 3 hours and its only about 8 by 16 foot) i felt really deflated to wake up to an overcast and drizzly day. Oh well i thought a cosy day in on the couch with my crochet, but no that wasn't meant to be either as when baby woke he was sick! So as usual the best laid plans........ this is a running theme in our house nothing ever goes to plan, so much so that i don't really know why i ever make any. Hence the name Makings from the Madhouse! I have 3 kids 6,4 and 10 months, a husband,  a newsagents which my husband runs and i help out as and when and get the unfortunate job of the paperwork, i have just started my own business working as a Travel agent from home add in all the clubs and activity's the kids do and the house work it all equals a very hectic life. How i manage to make anything is a miracle.

These are the projects i am working on at the moment

This is going to be my Flower Blanket, so far i have managed 52 square and plan to make either 120 or 140 squares, i will decide one i have seen the size.

These are the first 3 square for a Granny square Blanket that i am making in the first Crochet along i have joined. I found it as i was browsing the web and lucky for me it had just started that day. Its on Knot your nanas Crochet hopefully this is the link http://www.knotyournanascrochet.com/2013/04/granny-square-cal-week-one.html.

So i think now the kids are in bed i will go and sit with my hubby on the couch and crochet some more squares x
