Tea Cosy


A very nice visit with my sister, Joan yesterday. Joan popped by about 2pm and we sat and chatted. Joan is crocheting a tea cosy. It is going to have two layers, the top layer is in a variegated pink to white and the bottom layer is lime green. The top layer, Joan is crocheting in a wave pattern, it looks really nice and the bottom layer will be more solid. I think I will use this wave pattern in my next baby blanket. It certainly took us some time to figure it out.

I have started to knit a baby blanket. I am using up a lot of surplus I have in my basement. It is in really bright colours - purple, fushia, orange, green and yellow. This is the first time I have knit a baby blanket. It is going to be quite a solid one. I am knitting all the rows in knit so this blanket will be reversible.

I have received my marks from the Records Management course which I did through the University of Toronto. I passed with Distinction. The actual certificate is called Professional Learning Records Management Fundamentals. There were 5 one-day courses which I did to complete for this certificate. Now I will update my resume to reflect this!

School Projects

Why do children only tell you about the school project the day before it is due!?!?!?! Detta was given her assignment on Friday and this evening is the first I have heard about. She has to write an editorial on whale hunting - one side of the argument. Of course, we have completed it but it would have been nice to do it on the weekend. We would have had a little more time to research the topic.

The baby hat is nearly finished, just doing the top now. I have decided to knit it in both fushia and green, that will look much nicer.
