Happy Homemaker 2019-10-28

Morning!  

Last week was a busy one at work and I had a half a day of the suicide prevention training. Had paint class, spanish and posture 101 during my lunch hours and the remaining lunch hour was a fund-raising bingo for Entraide (I work 4 days so all lunch hours were busy this week).

My daughter in-law's baby shower was on Saturday - she had a nice group of friends and received lots of gifts.  My daughter and I were there too and we all had lunch at a nice restaurant.  Afterwards the girls had games but me & my daughter left (as did her sister and mother-in-law) because we had a family supper at my sister-in-law for my niece's 19th birthday.

I finally decorated a bit inside and out for Halloween and started making Halloween bags (I ran out of bags though).

Did odds and ends but no regular housechores.

What I am knitting, crocheting and crafting

Knitted wool socks  - both pair of socks are up to the easy parts so it will be put aside for awhile.

Crochet baby blanket (on my 4th ball of yarn).. this is not going well... think I might've switched crochet size halfway through.. might have to redo the whole thing.

Start baby hat (Ninja turtle)

A simple pleasure
