Do You See Where This Is Going?

Despite having more work and less time to do it in than ever before, I have managed to make a start on this little knitted rockpool set.  It's been quite liberating knitting rocks - just free forming as I go and learning a little more about short row shaping at the same time.  The prawn and the anemone were already made - do you think a five year old will notice that only cooked prawns are pink?

I can't be the only one counting down until the end of term - only four more days but it feels like an eternity.  At least Sports Day has been cancelled due to a saturated field - very sad for the children, but I must admit to giving a small cheer at the thought of having the afternoon free to get those knitting needles flying!

Mr.Fuzzy....

I really should have been keeping count of all the little knitted dogs I have made over the years - it must be well over fifty.  This is the latest little chap, a very fluffy Tibetan Terrier type pup who will be on Etsy together with his armchair and blankie when I can get some better photographs later today.

With regard to the prawn draw, the winner is......fanfare.....Angela!  If you could get in touch with me Angela  with your address, I can pop the prawn in the post - now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say!

My poor little car is almost back to normal - it helps having a professional car restorer in the family!  He did his best under the circumstances (cold car park, few tools) and most of the dent has gone, as well as the black scrape marks.  It will never be perfect, but at least it doesn't look like I drive with my eyes shut. I would put a picture up, but it's cold out there and I'm still in PJ's.....

Prawn Addict.......

...somebody stop me! These little knitted prawns are so quick to make and so very cute, they have taken over! If you would like a knitted prawn (you know you do!) leave a comment and I'll have a draw at the end of the week.  Then I have an excuse to make another one...or three!

It's that time again when my daughter brings home what she's been making at college.  This time it's the prettiest mosaic mirror.  I'm so proud of her when she accomplishes something like this as I know just how difficult fiddly tasks are for her.  Tomorrow this will be fitted with some picture wire and hung where it can be admired!

I know you've seen this painting before, but I've just had it framed professionally rather than making a bodge of it myself and it has turned out so well.  I went in the frame shop with an idea of how I wanted it done, but after discussion with the lady in there who really knows what she is talking about, it ended up totally different - and far better.  We also had a chat about how you'd think artists would be able to choose the right mount and frame for their work but that they are often quite wrong in their choices. It's certainly true in my case!

Soft Prawn......

           I Am Just A Prawn In The Game Of Life....

Just a follow up to yesterday's post regarding my poor car.  After several phone calls this morning and some extremely helpful people at Waitrose, Waverley Borough Council, and Surrey Police, I have reported the incident to the police and hopefully with the help of CCTV footage we may have a chance to catch the culprit.  I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to an injustice, particularly when it's personal, so fingers crossed they get a glimpse of a number plate and I can get some sort of recompense.  If not, at least I know I did all I could.
