I.O.W

Our main holiday this year was in a very beautiful part of the UK but off land called Isle Of Wight…  It was actually very amazing.

I must say the weather was amazing when we went and it was like a small tropical island.

We had plenty of these.. Cream Teas so Fresh and fabboo.. 

Shanklin the most picturesque little village ever I totally love it here!

The Needles Park, none of us were brave enough to go down to the needles but just look at the view and look at the colour of the water..

When we went to Ventnor beach there was a rare sighting of the sea creature Sonnyfolkesaurus..  Very hard to capture - a gentle giant..

Shanklin Beach

We visited the circus LOL!!! It was so funny and yeah we enjoyed it too even though there was only 8 people in the audience ha ha ha!

My room mate.  We couldn’t work out if he was a cricket or grasshopper.  I am thinking more grasshopper, I think crickets are more browny in colour.  (answers on a postcard bwahahahahaha!)

We visited a butterfly house which was lovely

We visited an Alpca farm where I could not resist the yarn.. Pic’s to come later lol!

All in all it was a very lovely time, if you have young children its really worth a visit.  There is much to do for them in rain or shine.  For teenagers, hmmmm depends if they like beach life.  For adults and older people brilliant for culture, walks and views but be careful it can be really hilly and mum with her knock knees just could not manage the hills and to be honest they were a struggle for me too.

It’s been …..

Forever  A few weeks huh! so much to say and so much to show you.  I think I am going to start with a blanky that I finally finished and I must say I really enjoyed doing it.

I followed the a Red Heart free pattern called sunny spread.  Knowing I only wanted a cot or pram size  I gauged the sizes by eyeballing it basically.  Yeah a no measuring girl for me.  I used Aran white from style craft and baby soft Aran from King Cole.  Both are very, soft and I really loved working the pattern.  Knowing how easy this was I would definitely do another one and maybe a rainbow coloured one..  Hmmmm!!
Anyhoo that is my where I am on the crochet front.  I have more news which I will put in another post…
Have fun my friends and hookers x

Remembering to remember…

I am such a lame blogger.. Yeah I know…  I have no excuses except that I just forget to share all my news…  So lets get to it.

I can’t remember if I told you my decision to get out there and try new stuff..  Well last weekend me and a friend of mine ventured off to Leeds Castle..  I really had a good day and even though it showered on and off through out the day, it was lovely.  I laughed and played all over the grounds and castle which was well needed.  I must admit for me it was a huge thing, usually I only venture out with my mum and I am realising I really have to start relying on myself.  Anyhoooo moving along it was a wonderful, wonderful day.

These week in the crochet hub.  I finished my little cushion that was inspired by Cherry Heart

With the back I had a small great stinking blooper.. Yay there I was all finished… Wait NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had it all sewed up and everything but forgot (again that big forgetting word lol!) I forgot the piggin’ button holes….  So back I go and add them in *SIGH*

Didn’t come out too bad huh!…  Lastly over this weekend, I had finished my assignment (studying behaviour management) and I thought i would make a bunny for  someone who is having a baby..  I was very impressed with myself as I really hate making toys…  Like super extra HATE..  Mine always come out like demons..  LOL!!!

I shall call him Frederick and he shall be loved forever..

Many, many times…

 

Rememeber last week and I was battling with these teeny weeny squares?  Well they are all done and for one I really enjoyed doing them.  Why I do not know but I did. 

The back on the other hand is causing me a little more jip.  3458987799763398 3 times I undid it.  Just on one edge keeps going really STOOOOPID..  Anyhooo I really hope I finish it this week.  I am really liking it a lot, I may well do another.

Inspired by Cherry Heart and Attic24

Scraps

I have a huge box of this

Which I am planning to get rid of because I am just hording and hording and yes you got it HORDING!!!! ARGHHHH!! LOL! 

I was inspired by Sandra's Desert Pillow and decided well that's a really good stash buster, which its proving not to be.  The yarn is still over flowing lol!! Naughty me yes!!  Mental note to oneself..  DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU NEED!!

I wonder how many of us actually stick to that rule of thumb!? BWAHAHAHAHHA!!

Have a great week x
