I'm also hooked on Diner Dash Deluxe by Playfirst – I'm on the 2nd stage which is in a restaurant called Go With the Flo! (Flo is the main character)

Craft wise I've made some progress on this simply cute blanket...





I've also made a cute bag....



...which is a trial bag, hence the not so good handles. Really happy with how it's come out and looking forward to making more!
