Looking forward to seeing everyone's crafts and getting inspired and joining in. I started to learn to knit again last night with videos from youtube. Was doing OK, so going to get some thicker wool and do some practice squares and fingers crossed I will of managed a scarf by the end of 2014.

welcome newthrift

just had a catch up


made these two scarves using a different type of yarn it has holes along one edge that you knit or crochet into to create a fabric frilled style scarf the red one was knitted and the grey one crochet

this flower bed was a team effort with DH it took about two day to complete the metal frames either end are two parts of an archway my dad made us im going to grow either sweet peas or clematis up them.

ive made a dress today but i need to hand sew the hem and cuffs before its finished, the skirt i started earlier in the week has been put aside till next week i need lining and waistband stiffner so have to go shopping

Lovely photos. I too have made scarves with loopy yarn. I did make a curly crochet scarf for my DGD but it was ordinary yarn.

Like your scarves mrs-m, but am really interested in where you got your pond thing in the flower bed? We are looking for something like that for the dog for when the weather gets hotter!

its a childrens shell shaped sand pit/paddling pool from when the kids were little, it comes in two halves like a clam shell so it has a lid to keep cats etc out. we got it from a carboot i think
ive just put clamshell paddling pool into google and lots of images came up but sadly cant find it in stock anywhere at mo tesco and amazon have pictures of them but say they are currently out of stock and dont have prices up for them - lots of images of dogs bathing/relaxing in them among the pictures;)

Argos usually do them or ELC, or Toys r Us - there around £15 to £20, its also worth looking through free adds, as sounds daft but they hold their value... and a lot of people sell them on xx

We found ours on the stuff for sale pages on Facebook for free - H2B put up an ad asking if anyone had one for sale and we ended up with 3 offers to give them to us just to get them out the way - we have a double clam and 2 turtles now - one of the turtles has been used in the past for when we had ducks as they loved to have a little swim around! Worth putting and ad out and seeing what response you get!:money:
