Thursday Homemade Love Week 11

Wow this weeks weather has been wonderful here.
It's getting cooler but still beautiful.
I hope you are all having a beautiful week!


My son has been learning all about
Kings, Queens, Castles and Knights
at school.
As a treat I made him a knight
from the book:

Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More


   

I borrowed this book from the library but loved it so much I got myself a copy.

I altered the pattern slightly as Little Red
wanted his helmet to come off easily
& a sword and shield that comes on and off.
He also wanted arms so the knight could
hold the sword and shield.

This week has been a bit strange.
It's been beautiful and sunny.
This has meant my fatigue hasn't been quite as bad.
This has been fantastic and has meant I managed to not take medication for 2 nights.
I thought it would mean my cfs would be more under control
but since the big crash everything isn't as expected.
The pain has been more intense which is strange but I'm managing to take my
mind off it and not take any medication.
It's all ups and downs with CFS and each day you have to learn to live
with something.
It's for a reason and I know that.
Having CFS has taught me so much about life already.

Anyway enough of that
this week I am reading 
The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
It's the last book in the series and
I'm really going to miss reading this series of books.

    

We had a really nice relaxing weekend.
We went to a local park to see my brother.
We were away when it was his birthday.
He has a really busy lifestyle so the only way we could
see him was to go and meet him where he was
a kayak instructor.
It was a beautiful day.



Now onto what I'm making:


There 12 of each set of colours made.
I'm going to add them to the blanket over the next couple of days :-)

I am nearly finished with my yarn bag:


I am not sure if this hat is finished or not.
The pattern I am following has a brim & a flower
but I am not sure if I don't like it just the way it is:


Now it's your turn.
What are you making this week?
