'morning chickadees........
after what seems like a VERY L::O::N::G hiatus, i'm back in the land of blogging.
have recently read lots of blog entries where the writers are questioning their reasons for maintaining a blog and it has got me thinking about my humble little piece of blogland. i am noticing an ever increasing amount of blogs with advertising, free giveaways, competitions to increase traffic etc and to put it bluntly...... I AM OVER IT :) ........so...... i am going to pick myself up, dust off the cobwebs and maintain this journal of MY life....warts and all ;)...........let's get this show on the road!!
have spent some time in the shed and on the recliner in front of the fire over the last few days. my new obsession love is knitting scarflettes, you know, the scarf you have when you don't have a scarf! i needed to use some small amounts of wool and i also needed a couple of quick gifts for some kidlets, so i got the needles out and these were the result...
.....and i LOVE the old tractor backdrop just as much as the neckwarmers.....mr lzilulu has acquired several old tractors and pieces of farming machinery over recent months and i love them all...........
while these were on the needles, the mind was going at a hundred miles an hour planning a neck warmer for moi.......so i quickly set to work and produced this prototype....
....it is SOOOOO snuggly and just the right length to avoid adding bulk to my very generous bust measurement! the third one is almost off the needles as we speak. i finished a charcoal grey one and the one that is almost finished is made from some scrumdillygorgeous silk/mohair/lambswool combination that has been in the stash waiting to sing to me!!
as you can see, i was on a roll and it was time to spend some time with Bernie Bernina. the 'baby gift drawer' is a little bare and when i saw these bibs at 'a spoonful of sugar', i just had to make a couple and these were the result........
......don't those apples look crunchy and so edible???
well, chickadees, must go and do some REAL work....flo is warming herself in her favourite chair in front of the fire, the chooks are scratching for worms outside the front window, rae is chasing some imaginary intruder, and mr lzilulu and his mistress are off earning some tax money for our treasurer!!......and me?...well i'm about to grab a cuppa and head over to the shed :) ...... want to join me??
will be back soon, until then take care and be kind to each other
