when do you get time to do anything???

Hehe Im sat here now doing my granny squares.
Im very organized and plan my days so I get some crafting done, mostly thursdays are good for me lol and wkend days my lot help out with housework.

Your lovebug is brill

nuttybabe

that is organised! i cant plan at all. i just try to get as much done during the day (keep trying to pop on flylady) so the evenings are mine to sew or crochet!

Thanks. After i made him last night i started making a basket out of old newspapers. i was cutting them up and dh just looked at me and said if it was anyone else cutting up newspapers he would be curious but as i am totally mad he doesnt even want to know what i was doing!!!!!! :P Good job as its to put the lovebug in for valentines!

They actually look really funky

nuttybabe

Still no Art Of Crochet issues 2 and 3 delivery I'm dying to make the hat in the 3rd issue!

I haven't got issues 2 & 3 yet either, but I think they are sending out 3 - 4 issues in one go with the free gifts. So hopefully we should get them next week.

Gosh....quite a few days and no posts on this thread. I hope you all haven't given up on crocheting.
I have kind of put my granny squares aside in annoyance at the moment and concentrated on my amigurumis instead. Don't know whether to post my creations here or not since I'm not really a beginner at it.

Hi greenpixey, I think everyone is still busy crocheting (and trying to find the mag lol).

I would love to see some pic's of your work, it gives me something to aim for with my crocheting .

When I get my weekends back I intend to throw myself in to more and have something to show here lol.

Its nice to have someone to help here too
