One Down!

 Well here she is at last!!

One down, two to go. Knitting is marginally easier than crocheting at the moment and I have managed to finish my pink baby doll. Why is it that whenever we have a cleanup I can never find anything that I need?? With being out of action my bead knitting patterns got put away and now I can't find them. It's just as well my friend has the same patterns, I had to get her to scan the pattern for my baby and email it to me so I could get her finished. What would we do without our dear friends who step in and help when needed??

I'm Back!

Hi to everyone of you patient people that follow my blog!! Sorry I haven't posted for so long but I have been feeling a 'little' sorry for myself but that is all over now. I still can't really crochet for any length of time but with excersize and practice, I am hoping my hand and wrist will be back in action again soon. Can't wait really because I have my missed my crafts so much. I did manage a few rows of bead knitting yesterday but it was very slow going. I need to finish my baby dolls before Christmas arrives and I am having trouble believing that it's only two months away from today. Hmmm.. Have to get a wriggle on... The past few months have been very busy in other ways, three orchid shows to attend, one of which I helped organise and which went off really well. Below are the trophy's John and I won with our orchids this year, and some of the flowers. Hope you enjoy viewing them.  Bye for now, hope to have one of my dolls to show you really soon.

 

I am awaiting an award for this one

Where Are My Followers?

Just a quick post.  Just lately when I log onto my blog, my followers pics are missing Anyone having the same problem?? If anyone has an answer or a solution please let me know, i would love to be able to fix the problem.  :))

Hurry Up!!

Shouldn't be wishing my life away but when you are waiting for something to happen time passes so slowly. I have missed crocheting sooo much!! Still another 2 1/2 weeks before this cast comes off my left hand. Never realised how much I used it until now. Can't even tuck the bed in... R' well... More reading I suppose. At least with the nice weather we have been having I can spend some time outside with the orchids and that's always a pleasure. Bye for now to all my dear followers and friends..  :))

And another Tam!

This one is for my daughter in law in the colours of my grandsons football team.This will be the last crochet item for a few weeks as I have had a fall and broken a bone in my left hand so I am out of action for a time.NOT HAPPY! Oh well! It could be a lot worse so I guess I got off light. Back to the hospital next week for a review and maybe another xray. It's going to be a looong 6 weeks..

Another Tam!

This one is also for my gd, in her favourite footy colours and now her mum wants one as well, it is her birthday next week so i have to get busy on it. I went to Spotlight and bought more wool in red and a ball of black for the flower. This time I got the Panda machine washable crepe..  Nice yarn to work with, hope it turns out as well as Amanda's did...

This is Amanda's tam with the crepe wool...

My garden of flowers!

No longer a 'Lonely Little Petunia', my little experiment has lots of company now. The others are crocheted from  a different pattern which is very easy to do. This is the link here. It can be used to make small, medium or large flowers, depending on the yarn used to make them.They would be lovely made as a brooch in a fine cotton, or as a decoration on a tam or beanie. Or even sitting in a bowl on the sideboard..
