How I did it
It made me
Warm! 
How I did it: I think I was inspired to make a blanket by the memory of the beautiful old blankie my gran's friend had made for me when I was a child. So I bought a how-to book and struggled through it at first. Then turned to YouTube for some video help. This helped me a lot - there is so much info on the web! I decided I would make a "Babette" style blanket. Based on my own idea of a pattern. Basically the babette is made up of different size crochet… Read how I did it…

I’m sad to say that someone close to me has shattered my self esteem and made me hate her deeply. I know she has mental issues, but there’s no excuse for her behaviour. Childish, irresponsible and spiteful. I will not go back for more punishment, because I cannot reason with her. “Living well is the best revenge.” I read that somewhere on 43Things … thanks whoever said it – it’s a simple statement, but so true! So my aim is minimal contact with her – if I’m lucky I’ll only need to see her two more times in my life. (And hopefully they won’t be for a long time!)
