Rest and Recuperation

None of us are working full time, but for some reason we are still really busy!  Not counting pap's speech therapy and cardio rehab, mum's ever increasing number of appointments and my wedding stuff, we still had just too much to do.

Diwali (the Festival of Lights).  We were finally able to celebrate it together at home - something that hasn't happened for at least 15 years.

 Puzzles to stimulate the brain

Karva Chauth. A time when married women fast and pray for long lives for their husbands 

Dy's crochet project.  I believe she logged over 16 hours of time on that little crochet needle, making a hot water bottle cover, a throw, and then this earwarmer for my tiny little head.

My tie making project.  I can tell you from experience - do not attempt without a sewing machine and a proper template.  Luckily Dan has agreed to wear it even though there are no straight lines...
