Last night Mark went into the loft and found an old frame for the tapestry. It is now finally completed after owning it for 2 years but taking 14 days to complete - hurrah!
Today I have been food shopping, I thought I would go today for a change instead of tomorrow. I also did some housework and made the kids a quick banana and chocolate cake for when they came home from school. This was a packet mix for time convenience, two eggs, one mashed up banana and a bar of melted dark chocolate.
I brought some strong white flour and yeast from Aldi, we are going to try our hand at making bread if we get time over the weekend.
My next project is another................... Project Crochet Table Runner!
Remember the crochet cotton I brought from the charity shop for 50p per ball? The pattern for the crochet table runner said the crochet cotton needed to be fine and 400 meters per ball. The ball band to this white cotton (which is very fine) said there was 411 meters so I should have plenty. Previous table runners I made have been made using the thicker cotton.

The very first table runner I made I did individual hexagons and then stitched them together. Over the past 9 months the corner joints have become loose though as you can see here. I saved some of the cotton when I finished it expecting this to happen one day so I can repair it.
The other crochet table runners I made for gifts, I joined them together with the join as you go method. All posts on crochet table runners can be found here.
I thought today my next project could be to make me a nice new shiny crochet table runner using the very fine white cotton and a 2mm hook.
Today I made 12 hexagons (I still have to sew the ends in, I was planning to tonight but it got too late). 24 hexagons to go.

In this photo you can see how fine the cotton is and how much smaller it is compared to the first table runner I made which was made with the thicker cotton. They are both the same size of four rounds big.
Roman had swimming lesson this evening. When we got home we had tea and the kids had a game of Monopoly before they went to bed.
I am now off to find some new books for my Kobo and then bed. xx
