have a good laugh...

at this

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy crap look at these!!!!

I was looking for something else and bumped into this lot

polymer clay days

beads and bracelets and dangley bits

OH MY!!!

seems I was learning how to make

swirls and feathers and jungle type things

I do remember a friend asking me to make her sister,

who lives in the Yucatan,

some jewels with a jungle theme

well that's what I understood she wanted

her English is no'so goot

and she did like what I made and actually wore it a lot

 but I don't  really know why I still have these

I do also remember learning how to make the feathers

that was fun and interesting

but

like so many things

it sits in a drawer now

this is what I was wanting to do the other day so I did

a tiny hexagon

double knitted

and

done on three needles

:) :) :)

well, not quite like that!!!!

:) :) :)

so  I practiced on bigger yarn and bigger needles

and I made one

well two if you count the little one too

it's so nice to know I have learnt something over all this time

double knitted

shaping

making a smooth edge that way

neat stuff

 and in between times

doodling on the cover of a small canvas so as not to mess the canvas up

may just put that on the canvas now I see how it looks

so that's all the crazy there is today

the temperature is going up into the

hi 60's

it may break the records

again

they say it may go as high as 68F

61 F is

16 C

spring like

and in 48 hrs it will be

48F

crazy

the hooked wip....

this is where the pattern for the crocheted blanket is...

it's on Ravelry if you want to go and look

in the words of Johnny Carson?

wacky wacky

weird...

weather

the temperature rose over night

as the winds blew in from the West

bringing rain and thunderstorms with it

we had a squall come through  at around 8.30 a m that turned it black outside

and it was gone as fast as it had come in

then the sky started changing by the minute

love looking at the sky

hope your sky is worth a look today

now the temperature is

d

r

o

p

p

ing

and will continue to all day long

wacky wacky

weird

they said it's the warmest winter in history

don't think they are too far off this time!

but it's only

January

we still have a long way to go

(boo)

so get an idea/pattern stuck in your head

work on it a while

knit yourself a little rectangle



sew up the bottom third of it

find some fabric that kinda sorta matches/compliments

and make a little lining

 put a little pocket or three in it

to put

stuff in

like

needles and pins

and scissors



or even your pennies

for a rainy day

???

!!!!

and as they say .......

somewhere out there

voila

you have yourself another little

bag

made of

hounds tooth check

that has finally

moved itself out of your brain

so you may now move on to other

stuff

see ya!!

weird and scary

this is what was outside today

buzzards

many buzzards

in the trees

on top of the trees

high in the sky



circling round and round

and round

they weren't in the woods or on the ground

but as

husband said

many eyes in the skies

looking and watching

they all suddenly rose out of the trees

and that's when I stopped clicking

they look hungry

and mean

and vewy vewy scarwy





but it sure is pretty up there

all blue and white and shiny

with the silhouettes of the naked tree

and the patterns the branches make

or the sun shining on the very tippy tops

the poplar trees

showing why they are also

called

 

tulip trees

all of last years flowers are still up there

"But then, she had a singing where genius washed everything, strengthened it and put the band on a part and then arranged her over a curtain rod in his Office"

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

 just three I came across today

most of them are unintelligible

maybe we should hire the "Stepford Wives" to make a list of words that can then be loaded

onto

Google

and speaking of the

 Big G

something must be happening again

because everything is falling apart

can't comment

pages don't load properly

or at all

they are shutting down Picnic on Flickr

soon it will all be one big

F

G up

 

maybe it's time to look at other blog sites

again!!!

 

Oh well!!

 

:)

sunset...shades of black and pink

another day...

You "guys"

you're so sweet and such a cherry bunch to have around

a girl can't be bored or blue with you

comments and messages and e mails

pictures to look at

photos pinned to your boards

 or just a sweet word

thank you

I not bored no more

:)x

it's still cold and grey and gloomy

(that is now all ice and crispy crunchy)

but it's a new cold grey and gloomy

so we'll make the best of it

and just enjoy the

feel of it all

don't have to cook today as I did it yesterday and the day before

so it's leftovers

or you're on your own

I like it when I don't have to cook!!!

and then other days it's all I want to do

 cook everything in sight

do you do that?

I have given up on the wip

the knitted one

the yarn is just horrible so I'm going to start it with another yarn

plus

and this is

the most important thing

I won't have enough to make it worth the frustration

it will be too small to be of any good

so we'll put it down to

that was a practice one

OK???

no griping about it

practice makes

perfect

.................

yes it does!!

so I've dragged the bins into the living room

brought out the note books

that have notes

or

I can doodle in

will fire up the kettle in a while

and work on the

hooked wip

it's slowly growing in length

and it's still keeping me happy!

(phew!  she said, no griping about this one)

but my new love keeps rearing it's pretty little head and calling to me

the

houndstooth design

I found one to copy

and copy I shall

here is a swatch I made 'coz

 I couldn't not made it

if you know what I mean

so...

it's time to go and do something constructive and then settle down

ignore the gloom outside

and get stuck in

to

either

or

and tonight is

Downton Abbey

so all is well with the

world

here at the

roomontheleft

hope it's the same in yours

stay safe and warm

and thanks for

cheering me up

and just a note...

the colour in last night's photo

was as it appeared

I didn't change anything

it was as they say

SOOC

(straight out of the camera)

I waited a bit too long to take it

but imagine it even more rosy

incredible what the light and air do

:o!

the above photos were taken on the phone

a little bit of adjusting was done

:)





boring day

cold and grey and just blah...

 this

 kind

 of

 day

 slow

and quiet



 and then this happened

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
