One of those days today - it was too hot to do anything - I was hot and bothered all day.
This afternoon when I got my mojo back I started to get some things for holiday together. I had this crochet bag kit for Mother's Day and I had saved it to do on holiday.

I thought I would just get it out to have a look at it and ended up starting it and getting quite far too.
I started by using the 12mm hook and making a chain of 28 as per the instructions. This was followed by rows of double crochet into the back loops only to create the rib effect. I continued until it measured approx 30cm across and 10 wide ridges as per the instructions - hurrah - I had done it right!

The crochet piece was folded in half, the fold being the bottom of the bag. I did three rows of slip stitches as per the instructions which pulled the top of the bag together.
The instructions advised to double crochet the sides of the bag together but I wasn't happy with this, I didn't think it looked right. I undid it and slip stitched the sides of the bag together instead.

This is how far I got with it tonight. Tomorrow I have to attach the handles and do a decoration for it, i.e bag charm although I don't have any grey beads I am thinking perhaps a few black beads would look nice? It also said on the instructions I could line the bag so if I look out for some pretty grey material when I have more time I can try to line it too.
Really, REALLY enjoyed doing this, though that's probably on account of how fast the project grew! I also love it - its so squishy and plump although a little on the heavy side too!
Anyone heard of rainbow bands?
Anais bought some today - they are weavable elastic bands and can make a bracelet using fingers, a hook and "S" clip.

Roman has been reading and telling everyone jokes from his "Horrid Henry Hilarious Horrid Joke Book" - he thinks they are hilarious - his favourite's -
Who is never hungry at Christmas?
The turkey because he's always stuffed!
Why is getting up at 6am like a pigs tail?
Because its twirly!
Mark had an hour of these as Roman went with them to Anais' swimming lesson.
