Square, yarn and a new WIP

I've made another charity square. Basic start with 3 stitches, increase one each row then once desired side length decrease once each row, I also alternated yarn colour every two rows, I think it looks ok, I accidentally forgot to twist the yarns for an inch or so but it should look fine once joined into a blanket.
YARN ALERT!
Ok this is bad I know, it's not a club yarn, it didn't have a crazy coupon code...but it was destash...that means it was cheaper than full price and seeing how it's totally gorgeous how could I resist..? lol I controlled myself though, there were more I liked but the right yarn was the one that made me fold first lol
Left yarn: from dye candy on the crazy 8 (sw merino) base in the colour super trooper
Right yarn: from countess ablaze on the Lady Persephone (BFL/nylon) sock base in the pins and needles colourway which was for the Feb 2015 sock club.
I started a new project...Bonbon, too cute to resist, though my colour choice isn't bright and beautiful I hope it will look good once finished.I hope to make another in variegated yarn once I get the hang of the seamless construction and knitting with stuffed bits attached :)
Feet...
Arms...
Ears...
And now to put them all together with a body :)
I've still got the TAAT socks that still need heels doing...I'm procrastinating lol I will do them eventually...my steam died on the trillian and not sure why as I love the colour and the yarn and the pattern I just needed a distraction for some reason. Work on the vest has stopped, I'm pretty sure I've cast on the wrong size so it will likely be frogged and restarted again when I double check the recipients measurements and gauge etc...
I've had a hectic day so I'm tired (sleepless son and waking with pain), mildly stressed (driving lesson, doing two maneuvers and a reverse park with cars in front and behind me) and achey (zumba/tesco trip and the heavy walk home). Got one more bag of bits to charity too thanks to my step dad dropping it off for me, I've enjoyed finally watching Mockingjay part 1, and am now impatient for part 2 lol and am now chilling before what I hope to be an early bed time...if I can resist joining the swordofaknitter VKN tonight...I know I should as my laptop is screaming at me and I know I'll end up on too long is I do sign in...
Hope you're all having a good week so far...I've another driving lesson tomorrow so a little nervous again lol
Happy Crafting!
