Marshmallow Magic and Rose Rouge by Karen McCombie

Watched


Casualty

(The show isn't that great at the moment...) 





Holby City

My Little Pony

Littlest Pet Shop
Anime, English version
10E/10E
(Finally I understand why one of the characters in the android game is a cat with a cake on her head - it must be because of the new sweet shop in the anime, since that cat has sprinkles on her head.) 










Craft etc
Been working on a crochet blanket for a new arrival 




Was a spur of the moment decision to try it. I now know the pattern almost inside out so no longer need the pattern, which was for small triangle bunting which I adapted. So happy as I've yearned to make shawls ever since I learnt to crochet, as knitted ones are too complex for me to beable to follow. Anything needing a pattern is a no go for me now. The turquoise is brighter than the pic.




Also started a blanket for a younger family member...






Did a tiny bit of cross stitch (Been far too long) and did a few mazes and criss cross puzzles! All fun here!
