Not much making done today as we have been out most of the day. First of all shopping with Jenny and then went to see mom and dad as they came back yesterday from a week in Scotland.
I did finish this though which I started last night and followed via a Youtube tutorial. This is a dahlia flower (1) and uses quite a few crochet stitches so is good for the beginner (me!) as it practices using a multitude of stitches to make each petal.
My aim is to be competent enough to be able to make a (small!) blanket by the end of the year!

As usual for a Saturday the kids had pizza for tea which is their favourite. We had my favourite, goats cheese ciabatta, onion rings and garlic mushrooms, mmmmmmmmm! Only for a change and as they are on offer in Aldi this week we had roasted beetroot (& roasted red onion) with it. I am not keen on beetroot as it reminds me of being in infant school and made to eat it and being sick afterwards! To this day I am not keen on pickled beetroot! BUT when I went to the pub with my friend I really fancied the beetroot vegetarian option and it was delicious so I thought I'd have a go at roasting one myself. It was nice, not delicious but nice, I would eat it again any day over a piece of meat though :-) In fact there is one left in the fridge so while everyone else has sausages for tea one night in the week I shall have the leftover beetroot :-)
