January in Summary

towards the ponds from under a shade tree.
  • We moved into our new home.
  • We settled on this place financially and it all became formal.
  • The new ( to be ) owner moved into our old home.
  • We shopped for School Supplies.
  • Little Mr started to make friends with 2 years older Mr next door.
  • Little Miss started to strike up a friendship a little later with the free spirited two years older Miss from next door.
  • Little Mr gained independence, started to show artistic flare and his conversation skills broadened.
  • Little Miss learned to ride on two wheels, became a confidant Scooter rider, toughened up and started to enjoy the outdoors more.
  • LOML went off for the last week to Flood ravaged Vic stationed at Swan hill for most of the week awaiting the flood waters arrival.
  • I gained a much keener interest in photography and started to sincerely yearn for a new Camera.
  • I started up the garden blog.
  • I began learning to cook and bake in an oven far below the standard and size, I had become accustomed too.
  • Our old washing machine gave up the ghost and we became the proud owners of a lovely front loader.
  • We all gained a much greater measure of inner peace.

    Yippie!

    Wow everyone is doing well.

    I hope your hubby does not find as much devastation as we are hearing has happened... You would think the water volume would have dropped enough by now but no - nastyyyy.

    Life seems to be progressing nicely down your way, Tammy. In all the little peaks I've had of your garden, it seems to be delightful. It's a great subject for your interest in photography.

Crochet Hexagon Blanket - Update

Image
Last Month I got the itch to go back and do some more work on this Blanket.  I ordered the rest of the yarn I think I will need to finish it and started working up little hexagons. I created a half hexagon to fill the gaps on 2 of the sides. I've yet to work out how to fill the triangular spaces on the other sides,  I'm not making all of my sides flat yet. I still need to add some size, it almost fits across my bed now, I think two more lengthwise rows will make it a nice size for a topper and two or three rows added to the length should finish it.  plan to do a simple border of some sort but haven't thought too much about that yet. While I do love this project, I feel my interest waning again. Though I have no doubt it will be my 'go to' project once winter hits. It's lovely to have over my lap as I work on it.  I started a sophies universe and while the pattern is stunning, Ultimately I don't think it's a design that reflects me, so

DCM Pocket /Caardvarks ribbons

Image
Here is the card I created for this weeks dare at DCM to use a pocket. I created my pocket from Acetate and filled it with BG tags from the Lily Kate line, tied them off with lots of yummy ribbon and added rubon words and images to most,The tags could be reused on craft projects or just left in the pocket to be pretty! I am also thinking of putting it into the caardvarks ribbon challenge as it sure uses a lot of ribbon compared to what I usually do !
