    Santa's little helper is gorgeous. I will be sending you photos of my "Acorn". Acorn is a pattern by the same designer, but named Flip on her etsy page. I named him Acorn, because I made it for my great grandson, Oakley. I made the Flip pattern and made a Christmas outfit using the Halloween outfit as my base. The Christmas outfit was only with the doll purchase and I had already purchased the doll pattern. So I got created.

    Glad you got the pyjama bottoms sorted out. I have some thoughts relating to your sleeping issue. Before you stopped working were you and Tim going to bed at an earlier time? Has it changed since your retirement? The reason for asking this is that I realised this year, that since my husband is no longer working, he wants to go to bed at a later time. I had been going along with this as I get more crafting time in but then it dawned on me that once I did go to bed I found it difficult to get off to sleep. I wondered whether this has something to do with the circadian rhythms your body has. Since thinking this might be the cause, I have been going to bed earlier and my body seems happier with the rountine and I not struggling to get off to sleep.

    Well I replied once but it vanished. So many of us are having trouble sleeping. I nod off fairly quickly but keep waking up through the night. Sometimes not for long and others a while and yes think about my knitting. I have tried to knit a simple cowl 3 times and have now given up and started a different pattern. This weather is not helping is it? x

      Yes I’m the same. I’m out like a light but for an hour 🤷‍♀️ then I’m up and down all night. Xx
