We started off the weekend with quite the journey to visit family.  A storm made it's arrival whilst we were travelling on the road. I do not like being caught  out in a storm one little bit especially when there is some hail involved, we kept safe in a side street without any damage coming to the car either thankfully.  The family plans of putt putt had to be changed, but it's all about the gathering and celebrating together that matters most so there was lots of sitting and chatting and eating. I made a little card for the birthday girl and crocheted a brooch for her like the one I made here to go along with some gifts I bought at the markets. I'm trying really hard to be more organised, it feels good when you get things done on time without the last minute rushing for me this year it's been a bit rare but I'm hoping I can keep it up until Christmas.....There were more storms rolled in on Sunday, there's been quite a few this weekend, the morning storm almost looked magical through the camera, like I imagine snow might look. So we hung out inside, having Molly cuddles, lying around watching movies and getting some crochet gifts made for the teachers. If you would like to check out the pattern you can find it here.  I changed the pattern a little and rather than crocheting 40 stitches into the centre I only did 30, I found that was a bit of a struggle for me.  I used two strands of this yarn with a 4mm hook and it still turned out nice and tight.  I'll add a body wash and that's one teacher present complete! There was also a bit of time browsing the net and admiring new photography blogs like this one. One day I dream of being able to take photos like the ones I see on those gorgeous photography websites, one day....  So how about you what did you get up to this weekend?
