Lots of photo's today though no collages as not enough time or patience tonight!
Did another load of washing so it doesn't mount up and as it has been sunny it dries fairly fast. I dread days of rain as it means I can't do my washing!
I actually started this on the weekend but thought it was about time I finished it today as I haven't enjoyed crocheting it very much. It is a pattern for a vintage collar originally published in 1946. Anais asked if I could do it for her.
The pattern said use cotton and a 3mm crochet hook. I used a 4mm crochet hook and white/silver crimpy DK wool so mine looks totally different than it is supposed to look like.

The pattern says the starting row of crochet should be 46 chain spaces long, I unpicked, tried again and again and again and could only get it at 45 chain spaces. Its also not very neat at the end of each row as crocheting in each space just confused me. Anais likes it though and has worn it with two outfits today as she was hot so got changed!

Roman broke our picnic table two days ago so we brought another from Argos yesterday but when we got it out the box it had pieces missing so needs to go back. We went to the caravan shop today and brought a stronger one from there instead. I also cleaned the caravan and took some photo's, its not normally this clean or tidy!
We already had the two grey chairs so brought the two blue fold up chairs and a table instead of the fold up one with stools attached. We are hoping this will be more versatile than only having two lounging chairs and two people sitting on the stools attached to the table. When it rains we bring the tv and put it on the little table in the awning so this will be better on rainy days as we all have a lounging chair now!

 new "dining" table and two new blue chairs |  halogen oven cooking jacket potatoes, travel twin tub in corner of the awning! |
 our bed |  kids bed, they have been cuddling the crochet owl and rabbit and have a lavender wheat microwavable wheat pack each for cold nights |
 kitchen, we usually wash up outside though and let everything dry naturally (cauliflower in dish for cauliflower cheese tomorrow) |  bay leaf tree (birthday present from mom and dad!), pink TV! |
 crochet cup and saucer, sewing jar, crochet flower, crochet pin cushion |  kids corner - Ds's are usually here but they were in the tent outside today |
 new cake stand & cake plate, "library" corner - paper books! binoculars, camera, crochet hook roll |  radio (which is on first thing in the morning to last thing at night!), tablet, e-reader, dvd corner! |
The kids put Jenny's beach tent up today and Anais checked her phone and said it was due to rain at 3pm. They got drinks ready, DS each, books, pens, jumpers, box of K'Nex and sat waiting for it rain, then sat in it while the shower came and went! They asked to sleep in it tonight - NO! (Roman is cowering as he thought it was going to thunder!) While they entertained themselves in the tent it enabled me to clean and sort the inside of the caravan - hence it being so tidy for a change!
