on the camera...



not much of anything to say today
it's Monday  !!
watched the Oscars last night
mostly because that's all that was on

wasn't a very good show, was it  :{
boring I found
if the entertainment industry can't keep us entertained
well
we're really in big trouble I say!!!
(KIDDING)
how can actors and performers be so bad
and they get paid so much for it
it's almost pornographic
and who in the hell dresses these women
some of them could barely move for fear of falling over
or in most cases
falling OUT
we've all got them girls
but do we have to show them
in such precarious ways
some  can get away with it
but most
not so much!!!
we need to go back to the
"Movie star" days when they got paraded out and about once in a while
and then went back behind the high walls and big gates
to live the high life and leave the rest of us in our bliss!!
sorry but it got me really pissed off watching how stupid they basically all are
no education no knowledge past how to get on camera
living like they deserve the paychecks and forgetting so quickly what real life it
no class or couth
just miserable
seeing all the "power couples" who can barely stand to be in the same room together
must be so awful to have all that money and fame and still be unhappy





but outside where the TV ain't!!!!
there was a show of shows going on up there in the wild blue yonder
the moon
Jupiter
and
Venus
cuddling up in the cold blue sky and just shining their little hearts out
and if the sun had not been so shiny bright
mercury was there too
but it wasn't visible here coz of the angle
so  I took blue out
to snap a shot



completely useless and awful but hey
this ain't the movies
!!!!!!!



and talking about blue
(my camera for those of you who may not know)
it doesn't seem to be able to pick up the colours very well lately
above is a photo on the computer of the scarf I am currently hooking
and it shows up a lovely shade of blue/turq
when in fact it is
purple/periwinkle
I have played with the editing but it doesn't help
so I took this just to show how
awfully awffff it is!!!!!
tisk tisk...guess it's the light or something



and another to show it more true to life
why are purple and blue and red so hard to take
hm mm maybe I should call Hollywood!!

with the navy blue yarn I'm knitting the same pattern as the purple one
the feather and fan
interesting how similar they are
:) 



I got sick of the tangles and bits all over the place
well hanging out of the drawer they are in
so I re wrapped them and with the bits too good to chuck out





I figure 8'd them into little bobbins to make them easy to use



and threw them into a bag !!!!!
because the drawers are now full of neatly spun balls of yarn

see how long that lasts!!!!

so I'm off...it's time for tea
take care til I see ya next time
toddle ooooo
and I'd like to thank the academy
just for the hell of it
!!!!!!!!!!!

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
