Am shattered and finishing off a scarf for my friends mum. But thought I'd try out my new app.

Wonder if the photos work too...?

The last of the turkey....

has been eaten and walked off - in that order!

On christmas day I popped lovely big chunks of turkey, roasties, veg, stuffing and gravy into a deep dish and popped it in the freezer.
Today we entertained the inlaws and I cooked the left overs with a puff pastry topping. There was some left over so I made some shapes to go on top!

My eldest loves dinosaurs and my youngest letters and numbers.


Then we went off for a walk, we've recently had a go at geocaching, it's treasure hunting using GPS or Satnav technology. Some 'caches' have swaps for the kids, others are simply a log of people who have visited. It's amazinly good fun - we've had a blast going for short walks and 'caching' in as we went.

Today we went for a walk in our local woods and hid our first one! We filled it with lots of goodies from Hawkins Bazaar and hid it in the bottom of this tree trunk (you can just see it peaking out).

And check out my lovely new boots!! Got in the sale yesterday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

How I saw in the new year!!

I love this woman's blog, I can't stop admiring how lovely her house is and also what wonderful things she manages to create whilst working at home looking after two kids. Having recently found myself at home I'm lucky if I get pants on most days!

But thanks to my trip to the sales and to this blog keeping me awake I saw in 2010 making these!!!

Got a new stash!!!!

John Lewis sale!!! Had a lovely time with my youngest son pulling a basket round whilst I popped the wool into it!

Got some lovely colours and just grabbed some skeins and thought "I'll make something for myself".

They had such a lovely array of crochet books - bloody expensive though. Perhaps I've been spoilt with ebay / amazon and discount books.

This one here looked ace - so many wonderful ideas and patterns, definitely gone on my wish list! And this here will be purchased shortly!

I'm off to crochet and hook in the new year. Happy New Year!

Arghhh - crappy hook snapped!!

Treated myself to some wonderful sparkly hooks whilst in Rackhams the other week. I'm crochetting away when it snaps! How frustrating that the wool I let my boys pick and the other projects I want to get going on all need a 4mm hook!!

This is one of the other little projects - a free pattern from hobby craft of all places!



Off to brave John Lewis' sale tomorrow to buy lots of lovely lovely wool!
