Crochet progress and counting down.........

Between work, walks and chores I've been picking away at my crochet projects. Retro Rescue is complete.
It's not huge, a nice lap throw size, or maybe even a good size to keep a little person warm in a cot.
I did a few rounds after joining the squares and finished it off with a cute shell edging.
Tada!  Done.

Next, I pulled out a bunch of squares I made last year?
Maybe the year before?
Whenever, they have been sat waiting for me to use them. I figured I could do something similar.
After joining them I did a couple of rounds, then decided to add a round of smaller squares. They won't all be the same, I'm still using up scraps and leftovers. So this is going to be a very colourful and scrappy piece.  I have no plan regarding size or where to go after this round of smaller squares, I'll keep you posted once I decide. For now, I'm happy to have it on my lap on cool evenings.

We've been busy in the garden, today we cleared the small greenhouse. I picked 4 ice cream boxes of chilli peppers; they have all been diced and popped into the freezer.
The feijoas are starting to ripen, but I suspect that I will miss out on the main flush of them due to our trip. I'll let the neighbours know they can collect them. 
Our veg beds had a good tidy up and a mulch of leaves laid on them to keep the weeds at bay. 
There are one or two other jobs that need to be done before we go, but not today, time to sit and have a cuppa and pick up my hook.

Has anyone else noticed that more and more comments now have a 'no reply' email address on them? I get my comments forwarded to my outlook inbox and usually reply from there. I generally manage to find the correct address as we have been emailing each other for more than a few years now, but it is so frustrating when we used to be able to just click on reply.
I do wish Blogger would get it's act together and stop changing things.
