When is a ball of string...

..not a ball of string?

When it becomes a cosy to keep your apple safe!

 As you can see the boredom has set in, like who needs a cosy to keep their apple in? I have so many things I want to start I just don't have the physical capacity yet, so turning a ball of string into something cute is about it for now!

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to all the lovely people who have sent messages of encouragement and love, they were all very much appreciated.

I've been out of hospital for a couple of days now and am now ready for the next stage of my recovery....all is going well at this stage so that's good news!

Thanks for stopping by.

New Necklace.

How beautiful is this little package I received in the mail yesterday!

I was on the hunt for a red necklace last week, something different and a little bit special that I could wear alone or mix with a few other necklaces, I thought about Mel over at Little Ted Canvas. Mel has a really gorgeous madeit store called "Loved" and there are some beautiful crochet necklaces......perfect for what I was looking for!
One of these little goodies used to decorate the package has since made it's way to our christmas tree.

I think Mel has done a great job, her crochet is so neat and the colours are stunning. I'm really looking forward to wearing my new necklace........maybe I'll save it for a christening I'm going to in a few weeks.

Stay safe and stay dry.

My Creative Space.

When I was brushing Megan's hair on the weekend getting ready for our little drive to Tamworth I was kinda wishing I had a cute little orange flower to put in her hair.....the whole ribbon thing is getting a little tired.
So while we were wandering around Spotlight filling our basket up I saw some Crochet Cotton in these beautiful bright colours........perfect for making some little flowers to put in Megan's hair!
So for the past few nights while watching some TV I made a few flowers, I crochet away until my little finger and ring ringer are so cramped that they don't want to move!

I think a few of these would go well on a scrapbooking layout or a pretty little card......so many possibilities! What would you use them for?

If you want to see some more creative goodness head on over and see Kootoyoo and say hello to Kirsty.

Thanks for visiting.

One down....

....and one to go!! Yay for me I finally finished this 100% wool blanket I've been working on for Megan. The worst part of it all was stitching in all the ends and joining all 100 squares.

To finish it off I did 3 rows of dc around the outside and for some funny reason it wants to curl up...maybe after I give it a bath in some wool wash it will flatten out. It's really heavy and great to snuggle into, and the final measurement turned out to be 150cm x 150cm. Now I have to finish Ryan's off......I've only got about another 50 squares to go.....wooohoooo!!!

Hope you are all having a great time through the school holidays.....even though it's a tad cold!!! My kids don't seem to feel it as much as I do, even as I sit here typing this post they are outside in the wind and rain doing something......maybe finding some more wood to build a fire with, as I said great entertainment and a great way to get your paddock cleaned up!!!

OK gotta go thanks for calling in.
