Kids

When one's 21 yr old son phones you at 9pm and says: 'Muuuuuuuuuuuuum, watcha doin' you know somethings wrong LOL

he had slipped on some water at work and cut his head open!! (he's a Personal Trainer)
soooooooooo.... 3hrs, 2 stitches and a slight concussion (plus a visit to the emergency ward at the local hospital) all was well

he has this thing about his looks and scars so he's not happy LOL

Oh well, thems the breaks I suppose!!
I must be mean, I just think it's so funny (if there's a puddle or a hole he'll fall into it!!)

Yummy Cup Cakes

Turtle Power

I haven’t put hook size or wool thickness
The size of the turtle will obviously depend on these 2 things
Worsted weight = G hook?
Dk = F hook? (this is what I used) each to their own LOL

Foods a dieter would love!!

I've finally found a way that I can have my junk food while dieting!! LOL

How, you may ask??

By purchasing food crochet patterns from other lovely crafters from Etsy that's how!!

http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title&search_query=food+crochet+patterns

Have a look they are really gorgeous.

I've also started making up patterns of my own as well.

I will post pics when finished.

At the moment I'm making a hamburger and fries, hotdog, pizza and milkshake.

(why does the main colour of the first three HAVE TO BE the one colour I don't have?) hmmmmmmm?? MURPHY's LAW I suppose.

My 6yr old wonder-dog Allie (lab cross) has fallen in love with the fried egg (she thinks it's reall)!!
