March so far....


So far March has been another busy month in the TMC household and the weather has been so changeable too!  Lashings of rain, sleet and snow, the occasional frost and even sunshine!

I've made more squares for the Let's Knit charity blanket the forum members are taking part in.  The deadline for sending in the squares is this Friday and then they will all be made up into blankets and auctioned off for two different charities.
For Mother's Day on 10th of March I made a daffodil brooch for my mother-in-law from a wonderful tutorial by Lucy at Attic24.
This heart also came from a link on her website.  I made this for my own mum, adding a frilly edge.

Below is a snapshot of the St Patrick's day parade through town in which we took part.  Eldest daughter marched with her Irish dancing school and we joined in too.  Its such a lovely atmosphere with everyone lining the route waving and cheering.

I made this bunny rabbit for my sister who wants to give it as a present to a little baby girl due in May.  I started off with a basic pattern then changed it quite a lot to fit in with what I wanted.  The dress I made up as I went along.
This is the lovely 'house' built by my 2 year old daughter with a little help from me.  She loves building towers and buildings out of her Duplo Lego!
And finally an experimental lower in sugar and fat flapjack mixture.  Looks tasty but I wasn't overly impressed with it.  Mind you it was soon wolfed down by everyone :-)
