The bathroom floor actually gets finished....

A little pattern to go round the toilet....

phew - it fits!

And here it is - all completed - Mum won't get cold feet now!

As you can see - next doors cat Polly is half starved, so she came to help herself to Tink's food

Hey - I'm a SUPER MUM!  I decided to donate £1 to the Sainsburys tombola and for that you got 5 tickets and I won a little gift - told the man selling the tickets I could pretend it was from my son!  He laughed!!

Thank you to the lady at quilting group who said she would make the quilted bag from crochet first - I did this on the bus going to and from London....

Close up of the bag almost crocheted together

And here is the bag finished (apart from sewing in the millions of tails that seemed to be missed when I crocheted it together).

Close up of the handles - think it may need some fabric to line it too.  But that is a job for another day.

On the bathroom floor.....



..... last weekend - a little job in my mum's bathroom, involving carpet tiles and a pair of scissors......

50 years of dressmaking skills have gone into the laying of these carpet tiles
Yeah!  nearly done

Only a few more tiles left to put down.  But that's a job for another weekend - they bought 30 of them and I think I'm only going to need about 14!  Unless of course I feel the urge to start on another room!
I think you have to be over 80 to know what carpet tiles are and even older to actually want them!!
