Something Different!

For some years now we have been unhappy with electric heating. In the past (about 7 years ago since we changed) we always had wood heating and now, after some consideration we have installed a new, improved version of wood heater.. How marvelous.. I had almost forgotten how warm you could be with it. Sooo.. We made a wood carrier from canvas. I know there have been versions of these for sale in the past and they  are probably still available  but the quality wasn't good and they wore out quickly. I am hoping our version will last a lot longer. I have now made a couple extra for friends who I know would appreciate them. Saves us ladies carrying one or two pieces at a time... This is the new wood heater. Warm as toast.

This is the wood carrier...

My Mothers Day Win!!

A week ago I filled in an entry form and I was fortunate enough to win a really great Breville food processor in a competition at our local newsagents. A lovely bit of hardware for the kitchen I am looking forward to using very soon. I am not usually lucky in competitions but I think this win is pretty spiffy. What do you think?? it comes with an instruction book with recipes and a container for the blades plus a spatula. Not bad!!

                                    

Can't find my followers!

2 More!

Here's a couple of little folk made from a pattern I found while surfing the net. I altered the pattern and made the little one into a bear instead of a kitten. Very easy to make which is how I like a pattern to be and now I can make them without the pattern which is good because I can adapt them and make them bigger or smaller by changing the amount of stitches.

Pink Kitty!

Something new for me and I'm not sure if I am happy with the result or not. I found the pattern a bit confusing and I think there must be a  way to make this cat actually look like a cat. Maybe he should have whiskers or something. Would love to make another similar if I can find a pattern that is easier to follow. Maybe it's just me but sometimes I look at a pattern and can't make head nor tale (should that be tail Lol..) of it.  If anyone can suggest a site that has an easy pattern, I would love to hear about it..  Don't think I like the eyes...  But here's kitty...
