Tomorrow - I am not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Two tired boys already - and swimming lessons start as well as school. I can just hear the squabbling already!!
Although they are pretty tired of each other. It will be good for them to see "other" people.
Hope you enjoy my highs and lows of daily life in a house full of men with my girly fixes of crochet and craft.

Hi 
Well - I was going to upload a post from a few weeks ago that I found I had never gotten around to posting - but being so new to Blogger didn't realise you can't cut and paste. Therefore am going to have to start a complete new post.
The boys are off to Football tomorrow (Australian Rules Football) and I really need to get off to spotlight to look for a pressie for a friend (and for a little wool shopping). Am really enjoying crochet and have moved from button flowers (Thanks to Lucy @ Attic24 http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/teeny-tiny-flowers.html) to trying out some amigurumi animals and a freeform bag (just messing around). Here are my button flowers!
I have always been a crafter - sewing, country crafts and cross stitch when I was younger, and more recently jewellery making and scrapbooking/card making. However Crochet gives me that instant gratification of being able to either finish a project, or taking my time. Having three or four WIP's on the go and not having to get bucketloads of "bits" out to do. I can hook wherever and whenever I want.
My three week old hobby has become a bit of a passion for yarn and wool - finding today the lovely art of felt needling (sigh - one day!). So my trip to spotlight will be a bit of an education - I've never really given wool the time of day, and so far all my projects have been with Acrylic (not that there is anything wrong with that!) so I am looking forward to getting my fingers wrapped around some cashmere or merino or other lovely textures.
Hope you have a great day and hopefully I will be back!
