Wanted: one crowbar to remove bottom from sofa

Thank you soooooo much for your lovely wishes as I recover from the worst cold that anyone has ever experienced. Ever. Ever.

I've annoyed myself so much. I usually just get on with it no matter how crubbish (great Monkee Maker word that I've nicked via Lucy!) I feel. After all us Muthas don't get to take a day off do we?

I did coerce DH into taking the littlies to school today but I was feeling v achey and hot/cold/hot. I drank gallons and gallons of this:

...and welded my bottom to the sofa and snuggled up under the rippling.

I'm so nearly finished with this - just three or four more ripples to do. It's a good job too as it's eating yarn. I had just enough of this purple to do two ripples. It was, however, a very close call.

I've never crocheted so fast in my life. Going faster and faster before I ran out of yarn!!!!

I've done that with knitting before and with painting. Trying to get it done extra quickly as if that will stop me running out before the end!

This is how close we are to the end of the big pink ripple:

Another reason for speeding up is that the sooner I get this done the sooner I can get on with Monster's one! I'm please with the way this one has turned out and especially pleased that I've even got this far as it's the biggest 'project' I've done to date.

I plan to be back up to full speed tomorrow and need to sew. At least my bottom will get a change of scene :)

Things have been a bit quiet round here on the Monkee front of late. Maybe this will keep you going until Ruby and I get snapping. I think the item in the link would be a jolly sound investment ;)
