Doll TA-DAH!

Well today started off the complete and utter correct way.

Just look at my breakfast!



Oh how can you not lick your lips when seeing that. I wish I could have it every morning. Tropical Goodness! Passion fruit and Grapefruit!

I then went to coffee with my mum and sister and my mother and sister in law. After the wedding we all got on so well so its nice to meet up every couple of months and catch up!

This week I have finished two projects. A doll and a mouse. Both knitted.

I am going to post about the mouse separately as I would like to share the pattern with you as it is cute and quick to make.

But here is my doll.







At my knitting classes we have all been tasked to make one for "Every Child Deserves a Doll". So she, along with about ten others, will be going over to Africa to be loved and cared for by a child.

If you would like to do one then let me know and I'll point you in the right direction!

I also saw my granny today which reminded me I must share with you the card I gave her for her birthday. She loves pin wheels so I had to get it her! It had a lovely reading on the back.



Oh it makes me long for the beach!

So finally as promised, I have two weeks of Reason's To Be Cheerful. I am really enjoying seeing all of yours and if you want to join in then is super easy. Just read this post.

    My handwriting's not brilliant so here are my reason's to be cheerful today.
    1. Taken out on a 'jolly' by DH to see a friend.
    2. Savouring all the views of the coast from his garden.
    3. Having dinner out at our favourite coastal pub.
    4. DD sitting with me while I blog.
    5. DD baking the bread for me while we were 'jollying'.
    6. Pusscat asleep at my feet.
    7. People helping with Bloggy Blankets.
    8. A dancing date with an ex neighbour who was 90 today. (I'd better go easy waltzing him around the floor!)
    9. Reading wonderful blogs.
    10. Having a bubble bath.

    I'd better stop there.
    Love from Mum
    xx
