All Activity

Late again! Evening all. Went to my dance class this morning only the teacher had lost her voice- so we sort of did it to hand signing, and it was actually really good. No snow here, had sleet Wednesday. Took the grandson for a sneaky father christmas visit yesterday (sister at school) and very typically he actually posed for the most beautiful photo that we can't actully display 😂 I have the Gd for a sleepover tomorrow - so lost of crafts this weekend! We only have three more weeks of preschool, and I'm away the week after next - so only two actually weeks left for me, and as I only do 3 days a week that = 6 more days for me!😮😳 xx

We had a proper hard frost this morning, which is rare for right down the end of Cornwall! Was blooming freezing. But it’s been a beautiful day. Cait that blanket makes me smile, it’s just like one that my Mum made decades ago and is a core memory of always being there when I was growing up. I think she probably still has it, being the hoarder that she is! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and the temp warms up for you all. Xx

We don't have snow although it's flippin freezing - gloriously bright, clear skies though! It's beautiful! Had a lovely surprise yesterday evening - a knock on my door and a woman I was at playgroup and then all through school with was on the doorstep. I last saw her around 30 years ago. We still exchange birthday and Christmas cards and I wrote her a letter a couple of weeks ago. She now lives in Ireland but was over here visiting her parents and took the off chance that I'd be in. It was so lovely, we had a great catch up. I'm on cushion making now and then I'm planning to have a go at making a new seasonal outfit for a rag doll I made when I was about 13. It's time she has a new dress I think! Have a lovely weekend, take care everyone.

Good morning - 'tis Friday Breaking news - we have snow - that's real, proper, laying on the ground white stuff ⛄🤣 how lovely to be retired and able to just watch through the window, there is something mesmerising about snowfall... Hope everyone is okay Take care all x

That really will be a lovely memory blanket as Froglet says. cx

That's lovely! There is something really comforting and satisfying about granny squares isn't there? I love how much memories of a person can become such a part of an item like a blanket.

That's just lovely I thought about you this morning and said to Mr S "I wonder if Cait's got snow" We have had sleet but nothing more but goodness it is cold - have I ever mentioned - I don't do cold❄️

Oh my days. I hope they don’t get nipped. Snowing here today in jolly Yorkshire and I’m back with my bedcover, started when Mike was still here. He chose the colours. I’m going round each square again before they’re sewn together. It’ll be a nighttime hug to him from me.

Hi, @yellowdog845. Absolutely! I'd recommend the Memos feature for this. You can enable Memos from Configuration > Features and then you'll find it on your top task bar. Memos work similarly to observations, but they don't get added to children's journals so work best for things like announcements and newsletters. You can send memos to individual parents or groups. If you have any other questions, do let us know :)

Hello I’m here, sorry I missed last week and am late this week! I love the Friday catch ups, don’t stop Sunnyday! All good here, have finally got over the virus that I came home from holiday with! Took long enough. Have been adjusting to very reduced working hours, all the holiday cleans have stopped and one of my regulars has been away for a couple of months so feeling a bit weird adjusting after a busy summer. My beautiful grandson is doing really well, he is now nine weeks old (where does the time go?) just starting to get the smiles and chuckles now which just melts me. Wow it really is a special feeling being a grandma isn’t it? Just love it. Our weather has been unseasonably warm, but pleased to say it’s starting to feel chillier today. It’s crazy, the camellias are in full flower and the narcissus have been flowering for ages! I find the lack of seasons very unnerving! I hope everyone has a lovely week and promise not to be late to the Friday register next week!

Good Afternoon, Is there a place where we can update parents what is happening in the setting e.g. dates for your diary and a place to send out news letters

That's beautiful, and I love the winter colours xx

Agreed - I often 'have a look' but haven't attempted anything...........yet!

It is! It's her Winter Season blanket. I love her designs and have lots more on my 'want to make' list.

Oh my word - that is absolutely beautiful - is it a woolthreadpaint pattern?

Ouch - no please don't flog me - i know that can be annoying but really think that's a bit extreme! 🤣

Here you go - not the best photo but you should get the idea.

I have this with my GS, but I'm not going to lie- I quite like the peace and quiet... and it's the total opposite with the GD who drags me everywhere to play! 😂

Hi sunnyday I think you should just pop in here and share whenever you feel like it and not worry too much about it being a Friday maybe? I always read all the news you guys share but sometimes just don't reply because I am busy. Things here at FSF HQ have been mentally busy but fun. We have some new staff joining our team on the technical side as well as the product support team so we have had a bit of move around. As I may have told you we are lucky enough to bring our dogs to work.....it has been quite amusing watching our dogs head into our original office and not our new one. I have only moved one room along a corridor but that has not stopped Billy keep going next door 🤣 I am off up North next Friday to see my boys (son & grandson) and really looking forward to that. William turned 4 in September and is so funny and full of beans. He is really sporty and we must be the only adults trying to encourage him to do some screen time just so he takes a time out from whatever ball game he is playing. Mind you I am going with my husband and when 'Papa' is present I may as well not be there....he adores Papa 🥰 I am watching the Game of Wool and find it weird and wonderful. I love Holger (think that is how it is spent) the German tailor from Saville Row. He is so wonderfully grumpy 😆 Quiet weekend for me....a bit of pottering and tidying up and dog walking so hoping the rain stays away at least while I am walking. Have fun whatever you guys get up to and sending you all big virtual hugs. Sue xx

Obvioulsy I don't mean we all have to 'flog' sunnyday!!!!!!

Hi all (we all 2 of you! 😂) Never stop flogging sunnyday 😊 I'm late to the check in yet again 😮 I do an exercise class 😇, ......followed by lunch now Fridays😂 Yes, defo a photo- or it never happened! I've had a quiet week, but a busy week-end planned. theatre trip and barn/country dancing 😂 Cx

I will definitely share my blanket once it’s dry and lovely. I have been watching the Game of Wool. I know that reviews have been quite mixed but I’m enjoying it. I like looking to see what knit/crochet garments the contestants are wearing as well as their creations in the game. I do think it needs a little while to settle in and find its feet though - for all involved, the second episode was definitely better than the first.

Hiya young Froglet I'm pleased that you still enjoy our Friday catch ups - me too ❤️ Are you going to spoil us with a photo of your winter season blanket? Hope so 🤞 I'm so sorry to hear that your mum is not doing so well these days, sure that she would love some 'cow socks' xxx Are you watching the 'Game of Wool' programme - it's all very strange but also quite entertaining...

Not quite a dead horse! At least not, me, I love the Friday check in and catch ups. Glad you're enjoying a chilled day and a quiet weekend. I've had a middling busy week - went to a crochet workshop last night for a new technique which I've not done before. It was a little 'brainachey' but very satisfying. This morning I indulged myself and finished crocheting my 'Winter season blanket', I was on the final round of the border. It's in the machine right now for a quick wash to ease out all the wobbles in it. I'm really pleased - lots of new stitches and techniques and patterns in it. I need to ponder what my next project will be. I'm still trying to use up yarn that I bought for specific patterns but am also feeling the temptation to start something completely new. I'm contemplating some socks with cows on. My lovely mum is no longer quite herself but very much enjoys talking to the cows that spend much of the year in the field at the bottom of their garden and think she'd like the socks as a present. I'm also making my first every batch of mincemeat, writing the menu plan for next week and general pootling whilst I hide from the wind and rain. When I first left school I told myself I'd try not to make excuses not to go out for a walk but I think I might give in to the weather today! Take care everyone, have a good weekend.

Hiya - too late to say Good morning but 'tis Friday! Here I am back to flog a dead horse 🤦‍♀️🤣 Hope everyone is well. Has been a very busy week here so now enjoying a chilled day and hoping for a quiet weekend. Take care all x
