Finished!

I finished this tonight - at the expense of sorting the laundry and doing the ironing... 

I started it in January, did the crocodile and then left it for months, and months (and months), before deciding to get it finished by Christmas for the eldest.  I have something else planned for the youngest, but it won't be done in time for Christmas, so this will be put away until I can give both of them their home made gifts. 

Puppy training this afternoon, which was very helpful and useful.  We have a few problems on our hands, but hopefully all can be sorted - the tricky bit is that he isn't too used to people (given that we can't really see many people at the moment), so is getting a little too vocal about it all. Plenty to work on and I'm so pleased that we have been to see someone who knows dogs really well to get ourselves back on track.  

Today I'm grateful for: 
Morning with the boys out on their bikes 
The husband cooking lunch for us (!!) 
Puppy classes - we 're back to basics (literally one step at a time), but it's good to have some direction.
