monday...

when last we were here

I was hoping to get this done...

well 

it got a couple more rows and a semblance of an edging and then it got too hot and heavy so I 

did other things....

my oven is a pain in the bum and likes to over brown things these days... hate it.... 

like .....

pie making and baking

and also a banana bread was made

but not photographed

when I started crocheting a million years ago I used to make what is now called 

granny stripes...only I didn't use more than one colour

I suddenly remembered how to 

so I did

I started one and just seem to have kept going

I have a lot of yarn to use up

still

and at some point went out and did some shopping

the have to kind 

and the want to kind

and I wanted to put the photo's I won into some frames

so I found two frames in the dusty messy shop

and brought them home...

 along with the have to haves

and oh

there's the banana bread or what's left of it

don't you love having a full fruit plate!!!???

and more apples to make more appley things with

and we can't go too much longer without a

glimpse of the lake

with the beginnings of sparkle time

it's been so gloomy of late it's really nice to see blue water again

but not a goose to be seen

anywhere...

I miss them

:(

and just coz this was front and centre

yelling

take me ...  take me

I did

I moved this a matter of a couple of feet and it's taken off like a

...

giant fern 

more sunshine and shadows and see how green it still is

and as it's time to go

I'll leave you with the moon in the  trees the other night

so.....

good night moon

and

see you lovlies later...

and  to 

"a nonny mouse" who made comment of my

stitches 

the only way I know how I make stitches

 is to make them

and I don't think mine are any better than most

but thank you!!!!

I've been crocheting for a really long time

 so I don't really think about it anymore

if you are new to hooking

...

practice makes perfect

...

and if it 's not perfect

keep hooking

!!!!!

make sure the hook compliments the yarn

try one size up or down

unless you have to have a precise measurement

make lots of wash cloths or scarves

 to practice stitches

and most of all don't sweat it

and have fun

it's supposed to take the stress away

not add to it

!!!
