Blogtoberfest Dropout....

Not sure where time goes... I have been absent from computer world for a couple of weeks. Mr BB has been overseas, Miss 3 has been unwell, visitors have been staying, unpacking house has been continuing. It all just got too much! When I'm not making anything, I feel like there's nothing to blog about, so I don't.


After some tea, coffee, and a long lie down however, ready to relaunch.




Made 2 button necklaces which should be finished today and feel re-energised and renewed. Buttons are so therapeutic!

Day 12 Blogtoberfest

I have just had a relaxing weekend away with 5 wonderful friends, eating, sleeping, crafting, walking, drinking, eating, relaxing, knitting, chatting, eating, talking, laughing, and reminiscing. I always find that being with old friends is like a favourite outfit, a warm hug; the familiarity and warmth just what I needed.

I am refreshed and ready for finishing my current knitting project so I can show you. It's one of my new favourite items - a crazy teacosy! Do you have a tea cosy? Do you have one, or several? I'm thinking there may be a tea cosy giveaway if I can get cracking... will keep you informed.

Days 9, 10 and 11

Day 8

Vintage suitcase side table, photo by me.

The Black Dog (see yesterday), is ever-present but in its kennel for now.

Cheering me up are these lovely collages by Tinniegirl. They have a lovely personality, and I catch them laughing occasionally or close up together having a little gossip. Truly special and lovely, thanks Cathy.

Day 7 - A Black Dog

Blogtoberfest day 6

I'm always conscious that my kids spend a bit of time staring at the box on the school hols. Luckily I am happy for them to spend all day in front of this box:


This allows me time to practice crochet and create silly nonsense like this! Piggy for fun, quilted checker/chess boards for school fair.



Kids didn't get to the peggies yesterday, they were too busy with the chicks. Plenty of time still left in the hols for crafty pursuits. They are loving baking at the moment, but the damn oven in the new house is CRAP so results vary.
