BBB progressreport: The one before last :)

JUST border left!!!

and some of the yarn ends of course..

Latest newcomers:

• round ripple square (from ravelry)
• and I saw over the internet its lookalike snowflake pattern and that one is for free although I did not try this one yet;
• BEST way to fill rectangular spaces - box stitch (tutorials and schemes can be found all around internet I just used trc instead of dc)
• Two circles joined together as a symbol for love, marriage and working together (you name it), I saw in @memoo1409 instagram feed :)
• V stich squared (made it up as I go, no actual pattern there) 
• and V stitch simply in rows for rectangle (this is the new MUST have blanket all around instagram, and from the small piece I made I do get why it is so popular - light, fast growing and simple!!!)

So here it is!
My BigBrightBlanket in all it's glory :)

Shopping list..

Good morning :)

Today my kids pushed me out of bed at 6 am .. apparently the bed is not big enough for the four of us .. now I am stuck in the corner watching them sleep just to make sure those little cute monsters doesn't fall off ... I kinda wish we were still sleeping on the mattress in the middle of a room (like 2 years ago) not on our beautiful bed (witch was handmade by my hubby) because then I could make coffee or sleep in this very corner not worrying about the kids falling off the bed ...

But there is a bright side to this - I have FREE time to DO stuff on my mac (which is quite rare).

I have wanted to share my shopping list on the fridge for a while even made the pictures of it a week ago.

In general, it is not a new idea, I think most of you do this or something like this.
The thing that makes it special is using the receipt from previous shopping as a space to draft the next shopping list.
I used to cut a strips of paper out of old notebooks etc but this is SO much easier! :)

simple and effective! :)

+ I make a shopping list for the BIG shopping of the week although I do buy milk and other small things more than once a week. So I will never run out of receipts! :D

Random rambling: Sleep

I have been a bit sleep deprived lately and I can't say that before kids it was much better .. because going to sleep early always seemed such a waste of time ..
I wonder why?

Well it was a bit better - I could afford to sleep just 5 hours some nights and then enjoy longer 10 or 12 hour undisturbed night sleep occasionally .. now my two little angels are playing tricks and it doesn't seem possible in the near future ..

Few years ago I heard there are some other sleeping patterns than the most used 8h night in every 24 hours ... but I discarded it then because it seemed hard to implement .. but now living with average 6h of disturbed sleep daily it seems rather intriguing to sleep even less but feel better...

More about the daily plan so far and the upgraded plan for the future .. if not interested please return to your own precious daily hours ;)
