Beautiful Blanket

I took daughter over to MIL's to say hi today.  Daughter will be heading back to university tomorrow so we stopped in so she could at least say hi.  Daughter also stopped in at Great Aunt Betty's house.  Daughter spent last summer helping take care of her and being a companion to her as Aunt B is well into her 90s.  Aunt B was so happy to see Daughter.  Surprising what joy a short visit could bring!

MIL handed me a beautiful blanket she had crocheted for me to keep me warm after my surgery.  So thoughtful!  It's really big and the colours remind me of Spring.  I am so thankful to have such a great MIL.  She finished the blanket while recovering from eye surgery!  How sweet is that?

Daughter is being busy too -  she decided she wanted to make lotion and bubble bath before leaving.  She is running out of time to do all the things she has planned lol.

Getting Crafty...

Well I did some stitching Saturday and...well, that was it. Hope to get more done by end of week. Sunday I had to go to work and it was my FIL's b'day so went over for cake and ice cream. My MIL outdid herself with three...yes three, cakes. There were only seven of us there. Yikes. We brought cake back with us and are still eating it!!!

On Saturday Morning my DD and I actually did something crafty. She had picked out a lotion and bubble bath kit. We made some up. Tried out the bubble bath and it was surprisingly good. See pics below.

We used approximately half of each so containers are not quite full. It was a fun thing to do, picking scents and colours. The small tin I ended up taking to work. This project got me somewhat energised and I pulled out some of my candle-making things.

I used to make some creams and lip balms from scratch. I'm trying to get DD to try it out but she wants to stick to the kits for now!
