Love all your blog stuff :T Brain will explode with ideas............:eek:

Sams - Glad you're feeling better.Like the idea of the railway pressie...........your friend will love it

Pep - knowing my grandson the plainer the better.........had some fabric samples a while back..........have to check them out and see what I've left myself.

Well today I had another go at a button necklace - don't know if its me or maybe my buttons aren't colourful enough - whichever way I now have four 'start but nowhere near finished' ones that I'm not happe with:eek:
Must re-read tutorial again............:(

Did get pebbles varnished..........well one side of them..........tomorrow morning I'll do the other side.
Don't feel I've done much today...........bloomin' buttons took up most of my time:mad:

*through gritted teeth* I know! Not on Freeview though :mad::rotfl:

You will have to fill me in on his lushiousnessnessness and I'll have to rewatch season 1 on 4oD

Right, I have a duck to Mad Hatterify! Yes that is a proper term :P But first I'm off to check out your blog chillin_nutta

Well done on the scarf chillin_nutter! Great start to your blog too - I am your first follower!

My 10 year old son has come back from school having joined the lunchtime knitting club! He doesn't know how to knit yet and nor do I! Aaah! Hope I'm not supposed to help him! :eek: Or maybe I should look at this differently, its an opportunity for us both to learn!

Like the idea of the train journey box sams247, I consider it to be a 'craft!'. Blogs aren't that daunting either, dip your toe in!

How fantastic that the school run a knitting club. I'm teaching DS aged 8 to knit atm (it's quiet a feat for me as I'm left handed, but learnt right handed, but he wants to knit LH even thought he's RH), but we're not allowed to tell anyone as he thinks the other kids will tease him!

If you need any help or support there is quite likely to be a knitting circle in your area, who will offer a free drop in session.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and to my new followers yay I've just posted a piccie of my latest mini booties - a lot smaller than the last ones the pattern was from a fab site with lots and lots of craft projects from card making to knitting to cross stitch and so forth... think it's craft creations magazine... Great wee site!

Mary thanks for the link to the swatches you are a darling

Hope everyone is well

Hi All

Am hoping I'll get round to some crafting today or at least picking up a few bits and pieces.

Although seem to have a busy day - Am kicking myself somewhat as my son has recently discovered WWE wrestling and is mad on it and in wilkinsons the other day they had the ring for the wrestlers marked up as £17 and then in the sale with 75% off so it would have cost me about £5. Hoping I'll see one today and make an excuse that I need a birthday present for my cousin and stash it away for May (his birthday). Although will have to be sly because I have to take him with me today as he has his first opticians appointment at 1.40pm - Doh! unless I can convince his father to get it if he comes in to get paint stripper etc and get him to pick it up and hide it in the car boot.

Apart from that am loving all the crafts that are going on. Think I need to get my backside in gear with lists of what I'm going to give people as I don't want to start crafting without a definite gift list in my head but march is fast approaching and its full of birthdays for me so need to get a move on!!
