Yippppeeeee!

I'm in the club, I'm no longer green with envy, I can talk the language, I belong...

I  can  crochet!!

  
Ok, I exaggerate somewhat. I had one lesson and I've added 4 rows to a granny square.

What's more, my friendship with Jane survived (I hope?) and I'm allowed back for another lesson next week. Yippppeeee....
Thank you lovely and generous friend.

So, I'm taking a quick break from my crocheting (yipppeeeee) to have a quick blog surf, then back I go, with my little porky fingers weaving away like Edward Scissorhands! (I can't tell you how slow and cack-handed I am!)

So, what else?
Well, firstly I'd like to add this to my list of things I'd like for Christmas

available here

Isn't it amazing? and best of all there's only room for two - so the boys would have to be in the tent. Shame.

I also thought I'd share some pictures of my little nephews Sonny and Luca taken at the weekend. Sonny had a big balloon from the church fair and played catch for (what felt like) two hours!
It was so hard to capture in a photograph but you get the idea...

I love the over dramatic hands on head when he didn't catch it!

Meanwhile little Luca is such a quiet, gentle soul. He was mesmerised by a bead on granny's bracelet...

We love seeing them.

We also love our Mabel around - and tonight she's sleeping over! (downstairs with Granny)
I stupidly didn't take any photos today but can confirm that she LOVED my rendition (complete with an impressive dance routine) of Beyonce's 'If you like it then you should have put a ring on it'! Nelly laughed so much she nearly wee'ed.

I've also managed to put in some hours in the workshop over the last couple of days - making tons of teachers blocks. 

My friend Alison asked me to make her a little box for Evan's baby teeth. I did - and now feel guilty that I have no idea where any of my boys teeth are...(bad mother)

To be honest if I had a good root round the bottom of any random drawer I'd no doubt find them....

I also made this big block for my most regular customer (thank you Paula!) I hope Mrs Townsend likes it too...

That's it - as random as ever.
Before I go (back to my crochet!) has everyone else been getting the weird comment from the man who hates American women? I've left it in my comments from last post so you can share the craziness! (then I'll be deleting it)? My - he has some beef with you lovely ladies. Fortunate for us foreign (non American) ladies there are still such amazing men out there for us....! What the heck?

ps just to be clear - I don't actually get things like caravans for my Christmas!!! just in case you were wondering...
