SUMMARY OF 2020 SO FAR IN PHOTOS

All my adult life, I have been working minimum 9 hours a day-mostly 11 hours a day- and now because of the situation going on in the world; I am home while there is daylight! I cook, I clean my house,I read, but most importantly I am homeschooling my son. This is one very tough job,I might say. My Little Man thinks it is holidays. His daily tasks keep arriving from his school and private teachers, and I am struggling to keep up because he thinks it is holidays and does not want to work.He is year 6, he was supposed to sit for checkpoint exams but England cancelled the exams.Yet, we still have local secondary school entrance exam, which will be definitely held  as soon as possible. The situation in my country seems to be stable, there were no cases for the last couple of days; that is what is bothering me.I am asking myself; 'Are we really doing a good job? or are we just not doing enough tests?' They will gradually start opening businesses and they are hoping that because it is summer now, the + cases would be less and the population would acquire immunity by winter . Let's hope, they are right.
I hope you are doing well.

CROCHET IN 2020

Hello Dear Friends,                                                                                                  

When I first saw this cushion; I got so smitten with it.I made 2 with merserized cotton but though they are mostly finished they are not totally finished hence no photos. But this beauty in the photo was the one finished even  though I started the last. It was gifted to my friend's daughter (7) as a new year's gift.
As you might guess, I am very fond of crocheting pop-corns. When I run into this pattern on pinterest; I couldn't resist trying.

Pattern here. I started trying out the square and ended up with a plan of king-sized bed-spread .
There is very little time for crochet in 2020 as My Little Man is preparing for secondary school entrance exam; the competition is very fierce and I am not sure he will pass as he doesn't want to go to school but he wants to be a football player.( Life is very tough for me at the moment (sigh!)).

New Year's Eve we celebrated my dad's birthday. Above photo shows my dad and us; his daughters.
I wish you the very best in 2020.
Gaia.
