But today has been the first time that Blogger allowed me back on site.<br /><br />I'm not quite sure what happened, as I couldn't get into my other blog also :(. So either I got blocked or banned (which is differcult to conceive as I can read other blogs) or there has been something major wrong with my pooter, but it works OK any other time.<br /><br />So whilst I'm here, and folks don't think I have forgotten them, I would like to say thank you for the eggcup donations that were made and I have sold 8 for Charity, they each sold for £5.00.<br /><br />Thank you Thank you... for your kind donations.<br /><br />I keep promising to post pictures, but I'm holding off that at the mo, incase something goes wrong again.<br /><br />I have sent an e-mail to Blogger but I havent received a reply!<br /><br />I have been a busy crafter and I do craft every day... Yep I have pictures of that too!<br /><br />Until hopefully next time, I hope you are all enjoying your crafts and I hope to get back on some time this week again.<br /><br />If I can't I will try and get word to someone.Tallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02290966377995583277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669547221337988853.post-29668717825646300282010-03-08T06:56:00.000-08:002010-03-08T07:11:29.645-08:00I'm back...YAYYep you read it right I am back.<br /><br />My wrist and shoulder are a lot better, and yes I have taken it steady.<br /><br />As a student I even had problems writting my school work up, and using the computer was just a nightmare.<br /><br />But hopefully now I will be able to fulfil some of my commitments on here and get my 20 minutes up and running again, get my eggcups done properly and just enjoy blogging again in general.<br /><br />I havent read everyones blog yet but hopefully I'll get on a bit more this week and post some comments.<br /><br />The only problem I have at the moment is the amount of ideas floating about in my head that I am itching to have a go at, I could do with an extra day in my week to fit everything in, but I just know that if that happened I still wouldn't have time!<br /><br />I've been slowly working on a crochet bag for mothers day for my OH's mum. I'm also working on four Bunny BU's for my mum for easter presents. I've also got to make 2 Mothers day cards by the weekend, plus write up about 6 assessment pieces for my course...tick tock tick tock, lol...see I said I needed that extra day slotting in there somewhere.<br /><br />I've also been asked if I would like to write about crocheting... SCAREY thought, but my other half doesnt think its a bad idea. (I don't think he has seen my english just lately). But I do think it is a pretty cool idea, if I can fit it in somewhere. <br /><br />The kitchen is still a disaster, but a livable one, I'm not attemping anything until I know I'm not going to have problems again with my shoulder and wrist, just that sometimes it gets me down when I go in there and think 'what a mess!'<br /><br />I don't know if its because of the spring thing, but I feel pretty good about everything at the moment, except for one family health issue, but that will hopefully be resolved soon, and all the whittle and worry about it will be over.<br /><br />My daughter has picked up the knitting needles, and though I can teach my ladies at crochet class and knit and natter, and I can control 6/7 year olds, in a sensible way, we just clash. I'm glad she hasnt asked me to teach her to drive or'st there would be major headline in the local newspaper about MURDER!, lol. However I do get a 'please, please' at home when a stitch has wandered off somewhere, or someone has forgotten to fully take off a stitch. She's doing it slowly but if I'm honest she is a very neat knitter and her tension is very good for a beginner... please don't tell her, she would be unbearable to live with :)<br /><br />Well thats it for now, I'll try and get on a bit more this week and go from there.<br /><br />happy hooking, blogging and creating folksTallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02290966377995583277noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669547221337988853.post-32326667524030291152010-02-25T12:07:00.000-08:002010-02-25T12:10:28.596-08:00Catch -UpI thought I best let everyone know what is happening...<br /><br />The RSI has turned out to be something else!<br /><br />I have a trapped nerve in my elbow and underneath my shoulder blade:(<br /><br />It means as you can gather I have done nothing creative now for a long time.<br /><br />I am on some very strong anti-flammitories(?) and pain killers which are zonking me out a bit.<br /><br />I've been told it may take some time to sort itself out, hopefully sooner than later because I so want to get on with things, especially things that have been promised to other bloggers.<br /><br />For now take care of yourselfTallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02290966377995583277noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669547221337988853.post-87129265347836768812010-02-18T10:38:00.000-08:002010-02-18T11:00:18.594-08:00Crafts for tomorrowI made these a while back, sorry pictures are a bit iffy again!<br /><br />Here are my Ribbon Rings - very easy to make and only take about 1/2 hour each<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptVR0bTNgLTlI7UgiJMgbd2U3RtaA3tcTnMsUsHPur6SelCtGl0yhLaS-vtq4b_B-PGLV1Y309gU0Khn33JvO7DxQichmZYMv_IltIUNARjsqvGPksDh2l-eyl4aq3MjgVF5lnI4OGOkd/s1600-h/Picture+172.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Boys and their mucky minds!!! lol.<br /><br />Anyways, I think that time of year is here... You know that time, that you can smell new things in the air. <br /><br />BUT before new you have to think about old first.<br /><br />My OLD list at the moment consists of old decoration around the house.<br /><br />I used to decorate all the way through the house every year, but with so much happening in the last year and half it has been differcult to do.<br /><br />2nd thing on my OLD list WIP's - I really need to sit down one day and finish them all off, of course one day wouldn't do, but one has to try.<br /><br />3rd thing on my OLD list - yarn - since I started to teach crochet, my yarn stash has gone crazy.<br /><br />4th thing on my OLD list - Cards - i am a card maker, invitation maker, wedding favour maker in fact anything to do with paper and glue I make.<br /><br />BUT the smell of NEW is driving me crackers.<br /><br />As you will have read I have had a couple of days of no creativity at all :( and it has really hit me hard!<br /><br />SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo... here is the plan ( I don't know if it will work, cos I have a life too!)<br /><br />I am going to decorate the kitchen/dining room (massive room the width of the house and at least a 1/3 in length).<br /><br />Whilst I am doing this, I am also going to re-organise all my craft stuff, by this I mean everything! (Too long to list).<br />This is going to cause me a problem, I don't have a proper craft space. We did come up with the bright idea of using the space under the stairs, but coats, shoes, hoovers, irons, etc etc live there.<br /><br />But I'm sure I could work something out! <br /><br />I really really want a log cabin at the bottom of the garden, but that costs too much and we didn't win the lotto this week, lol.<br /><br />Whilst sorting my craft bits and bobs, I'll also be pulling out any WIP's - these will be my night time projects. (20 minuters, maybe) I'll probably use them as fund raisers too so a good motivation to get them done.<br /><br /><br />And finally my yarns - looking at other craft blogs there are masses of inspiration for using up my bits - I am determined to get rid of my 'bitty' yarns. So watch out if I come blundering into your blog looking for advice etc.<br /><br />And 'when' you may be wondering am I going to be doing this....<br /><br />Next week!!! Yep I plan to do this all in a week. I know Spring madeness has sprung, but I need to get it done.<br /><br />Here is the time table:<br /><br />Ok a little cheat..<br /><br />Thursday is Crochet Class but in the pm I'm sorting craft stuff in the kitchen and paint buying.<br />Friday is Knit and Natter Class, but again in the pm I'll be sorting again.<br /><br />Saturday - shifting kitchen furniture and chasing my children out of the house, whilst holding my OH hostage in the house!<br />Paint the ceiling - two coats.<br /><br />Sunday - all walls painted - twice! And the wood work. OH can make dinner - he has no choice in the matter I will be laying down the law, lol. ( I must admit his yorkshire puddings are better then mine).<br /><br />Monday - kitchen furniture back in place and all windows washed and streak free. <br />HOMEWORK, yep I am a 39 year old student so this is important.<br />PM - WIP's, WIP's and more WIP's<br /><br />Tuesday - Friday - home work again in the mornings, and decluttering where needed.<br />PM WIP's and bitty yarn finished!<br /><br />I know, I know - Winter Olympics start this Friday too and as an avid fan, I will have to fit this viewing in somehwere, thank heavens for Sky Plus.<br /><br />So thats the OLD...<br /><br />Here's the NEW...<br /><br />I have been so inspired by so many people on here, by comments and e-mail, I would like to start to really think about selling my work properly and designing. I did do a design course years ago, and I have a friend that has the perfect place to sell my work.<br />So whilst I'm finishing my OLD stuff I'm hoping to design NEW stuff...<br /><br />Did I say I could smell something in the air?<br /><br />I believe it is Spring Madness!!!Tallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02290966377995583277noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669547221337988853.post-22249733728166856082010-02-08T06:51:00.000-08:002010-02-08T06:56:20.308-08:00Caught UpMy oh my hasn't 20 Minuters grown.<br /><br />There are some fantastic projects being created in these 20 minutes slots, big and small. I personally believe they brighten up blog land.<br /><br />Well done to everyone for all the inspiration that they give and are giving.<br /><br />Again I have spent the last 2 hours commenting and I apologize if I have missed anyone, but blogger sometimes won't let me post, so please don't be put out if you didnt receive one, I promise I visited everyone on the list!<br /><br />Also jut a quick note as Jodie commented on the Broomstick Lace, I'll be posting a pictorial, probably Thursday afternoon, if anyone wants to have a go.<br /><br />I promise that it is a VERY simple stitch, and all you will need is a hook about 4 - 5mm, a 20mm knitting needle or dowl or a broom handle, and of course your choice of yarn.<br /><br />So please look out for it, and I hope to get a couple of you trying it out.Tallishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02290966377995583277noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669547221337988853.post-22898250274183260612010-02-08T04:54:00.000-08:002010-02-08T05:05:25.560-08:00YAY...
