Hi everyone,

Beautifully bonkers luvvies Chalky, a change from teds anyway and suitable for little hands to play with.

Horrible weather so I`m huddled in a corner hibernating, only going out when I HAVE to.
Been having some challenging times here so not very sociable at the mo, but I will survive.
Back into lurkdom I go .................

Chalky love the luvvies, yes they are bonkers, but nicely.

psso challenging times would be another good title for a book...........

Afternoon all
Not been around much lately so just had a quick catch up, have'nt set foot outside the door today it's raining,cold and just generally miserable out there.

I've been sorting out some things to put in the granny box,and found some felt, so I better get a move on with a needle case. Also got quite a few duplicate knitting needles and crochet hooks so I will send some of those, some yarn, a ball of dishcloth cotton and some squares of childrens fabric different design's, with hippo's, aeroplanes and matchstick children playing on it, all left over from my patchwork day's

Have just completed an Innocent Smoothie hat, took me about half hour or so from start to end

I know it isn't time for them yet, but it'll be nice to have a stash of them, and if they don't run it again, I'm sure I can find a use for them, they're so cute!!!

So, for charity knitting, I have 1 baby hat and 1 IS hat :T


My 5 y/o son asked me last night to knit his teddy some clothes as his bear is getting "tired of borrowing from the doll" (his words not mine LOL!!!)
So, I guess thats my duty for small projects :doh: :rotfl:

Oh well, at least he isn't too cool for my knitting yet!
(just too cool for hugs & kisses in front of his "mates"!)

hunnybeanz welcome! Lovely to see a longhauler here! Your DFD so much closer than mine though...wool pruchases may have sommat to do with that lol! I am always grateful for approx 20 inch square (or round!) double thick (ie knit or crochet 2 strands of dk!) blankets for cats charity who had my two when money got seriously tight...:)
Just a quickie from me! Pssohugs for you hibernating - I am envious as was so tired today - not due to lack of sleep but wearyness after two quite busy work weeks which still not used to after my forced year not working...

Hey hun, been paying the bleeding things of since 2007, I know it's not long compared to some peoples problems, but it sure has been more than long enough, I don't think my credit rating will ever forgive me hah hah!

Can whip up some cat blankets no worries for you hun. Anything to help. Will PM you when I've done a couple


Just knocked up another IS hat, I love them hah hah, so fast and cute!
I can see them becoming quite the addiction! Just cross my fingers that they do run the campaign next year, I imagine I'll have thousands by then!:eek:

Hi everyone.

Welcome back DPixie - we were only thinking about you the other day. Sorry to hear about your Auntie. Hope she is feeling a lot better now. It's great to have you back!

Honeybeanz - a very warm welcome to you. I do hope you enjoy it here. The IS hat campaign runs every year so I'd be surprised if they ever stop it - it's a great way to use up odd scraps of wool, isn't it? Your little boy sounds really cute!

Chalky - your new creations are lovely! Well done!

Well, we spent all day yesterday up at the farm cleaning and getting ready for the big day on Saturday. The couple who run the farm used to run a hotel in Yorkshire and they seem to have bought the entire contents of it to France and packed them in a barn - you wouldn't believe the stuff we've been digging out! I've moved and cleaned loads of tables and chairs, along with lots of other bits and pieces, tons of cutlery, china and so on, and Christmas decorations. DH has almost finished the hearth for the wood burner; he's back up there today but I'm taking the day off because a) my hands are hurting and b) my house needs some attention and the housew**k fairy hasn't been here all week! I shall be back up there tomorrow putting the Christmas decorations up - the bit I'm really looking forward to. To top it all off, I've come home with a huge filet mignon and loads of bacon, which they insisted we take as a thank you. Anyway, when it's all finished, I shall take some photos and post them on here.

We've had such a laugh there, it's been a real tonic. The couple who run the farm work very hard but they are such good company that it's done me the world of good being up there. One of the funniest things is that they have loads of free-range chickens running about the farm and one of them fancies DH! Every time he goes outside, it makes a beeline for him - it's been the subject of many a quick oneliner and we've been falling on the floor laughing about it, especially when he's washing buckets out with the outside tap - the chicken sits in between his legs watching!

Anyway, tomorrow will be the last big push before doors open on Saturday - I'm serving teas and coffees and I'm not sure what DH is doing - fending off his new 'bird', I expect!

May - if you're reading this, I hope you are well and truly on the mend.

Pippa - I think I'll be relaxing a bit once Saturday has been and gone. It's just been so hectic lately and the farm people were really panicking about being ready in time; it's been great to know that we've really been helping. I must admit, though, that I'm looking forward to spending a bit more time with the woolly stuff but my hands will need a bit of a rest, too. I hope you've been enjoying your new car!

Anyway, I'll pop back later when I have my coffee break! Have a great day, all of you!
