Sunday Snippets & Sunday Sketches

Photos from my week!

Blueberry oat muffins made by my son, Aaron.

They were delicious!

Seven of these canvasses will form one painting in the near future.

I got me some push pins in my favourite colours! WHOO HOO!
Green...

Purple and blue...

I was so happy to find these push-pins!

A pretty moth I spotted under the pergola roof.

Aaron and I walked to the park with our dogs, Cody and Jack.
Here is Cody and a wee glimpse of Jack in the top right corner.

A pair of galahs joined us under a tree nearby.
Here is one of them.

Today was quite busy but, for Sunday Sketches,
I did manage to do more work on the doodle sketch.
Still unfinished but getting closer to the finish line.
I should add that this doodle is inspired by Alisa Burke!
I'm taking her Sketchbook Delight 2 class.

Oh, the pain, the pain...

Sorry I haven't been around much.

I ended up in a nasty way with inflammation of the chest wall lining. It may have been due to the angiogram I had just over a week ago....seems too coincidental for it not to be.  I've been in a great deal of pain every time I cough, sneeze, take a deep breath, or move a certain way.  It's at its worst when I'm lying flat on my back and then I go to get up.....makes me scream out loud in pain.  I'll be glad when it clears up. Doctor's orders are rest and pain-killers.

So, while resting on my comfy lounge chair, I have been busy with the crochet hook and the knitting needles.

I finished the Granny stripe blanket throw AT LAST!!

I finished it off with a simple picot stitch border.

Jack hopped up on my bed to inspect it.

Cody and Jack LOVE to sleep on my crochet blankets.

I can't say I blame them because these blankets are so warm and cosy.

I've now started another ripple throw blanket for Aaron.
I LOVE working in ripples!

I also knitted the first pair of bootees for my next Grandchild due in November. Aren't they darling?!!  For now, I'm sticking with neutral colours until Michelle and Alex find out the sex of baby in a few weeks. I still have to sew the seams on this pair and add the ribbons.

What an amazing cloud formation we had in the sky on Friday morning!

I was totally mesmerised by all those bobbles!

Same morning, I spotted this butterfly resting on the fronds of my potted fern under the pergola.

I think it's called a Common Crow butterfly. We get a lot of them around here.

By the way, if you go to leave a comment, you may notice a new addition which I added today.  On top of the standard Blogger comment form, there is now a Facebook comment form too which will give my family and friends on Facebook the opportunity to comment if they wish. If you don't have Facebook, simply scroll down and use the regular Blogger comment form as you would normally.

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone but, for now, I'm only allowing myself short stints at the computer until this rotten chest inflammation clears up.

I hope you're all having a great weekend!!

It's a long weekend here with tomorrow (Monday) being a Public Holiday in celebration of the Queen's birthday.
