A bit of gentle encouragement!

Monday again. And we are into September now, as my daughter told me yesterday it is autumn! Well, not quite, but by looking at the trees already changing colours and shedding their leaves, you'd be forgiven for thinking the summer is over. Not that we've had much of a summer! It's another wet and nippy one here, a day for staying indoors I think. The play-dough is out (I'll regret that later!) Tilly is sleeping (hurrah!) and I am going to settle down with my first hot cup of coffee of the day and have a wander over to see what everyone's been up to in Handmade Monday Thanks again Wendy for hosting it!

Crafting has been a bit slack here this weekend. I recall there being talk of a rocket ship and maybe a launch pad, but somehow it's got to Monday and nothing has materialised. A few more wet days might change that situation though. A trip out to the supermarket on Saturday resulted in a little purchase from Mr G. Think he is trying to tell me something, what do you think? :

As yet I have not had time to try it all out. Though when I do, of course, I have several new cakey type books to choose a recipe from now!

We did manage to make a couple of 'cakes' this morning though, the Flip Flop and I. Not particularly edible though, although she did give the glitter a taste!

I have also started on my squares for the blanket I am making for Refuge/Simply Knitting. I had intended to show you a square completed but that just hasn't happened! But here's a sneak preview:

(Not quite) one down, 62 to go!

Well it appears my attention is required elsewhere. Any tips on splitting yourself into several pieces at the same time will be gratefully received! Have a lovely week all, til next time!
