A big D



A big D


Did anyone spot my big mistake?

And that's not a old British tea make? (Maybe I dreamt that strap line).

The d is for dyslexic....... dyslexic frustration.

Vivacious, was going so well I corrected my mistake (earlier post) so I thought.

C was in the wrong place originally,fixed that, but I missed the biggy.





S?, in fact it's actually a 2.................now how did that happen.

(I really could have sat an cried, but oh how quickly I got on, lifes to short)

Knit happens!

A Major mistake as my S is in fact backwards.

And as I work backwards, yes you guessed it!!!

It was indeed the 1st letter that I attached.


So Basically it's staying, embrace your mistakes and work with them.

An excellent way to start my re-patronisation knitting.........wrong.


To my lunch

Jamie would be pleased I think at my preparation of a cheese Ploughman's.




CIOU2

It reads like some type of chemical equation .



But I'm over that and on to my new chapter.......


I found the perfect knit Cafe:-)

Or maybe it found me, all new to me Knitting in the UK, but as luck would have it I think I found something to do on a Wednesday evening;-)

Which is Great, sort my knit contacts and the rest will just fall into place.


End, end, ends......




Lots to do and lots to stitch in,

so this week I have been mainly sowing in my ends.

The little cute sheep and ram where taken at Beale park, all very cute and seeing

as I feature so much knit/crochet I figured maybe its time to promote the source.






Rasmus
trying to look like a guard dog which is very funny seeing he is frightened of everything. he is having a blast since our return to UK probably the Happiest Friday member as he is being introduced to lots of new places(of the lead) and more importantly new dogs.

Peel Top Wine......and crochet of course.


Pic-nic's in a park made easy.

Wine in a disposable glass with a peel top, instantly I knew that I am home............

Not mentioning the move to much yet, only one sentence.

I feel great to be home but I currently feel that it could be Mars or Venus as I feel like an alien.

As yet still no internet. kindly using the local lobby.



VIVACIOUS

So far, my dyslexia let me down a little, we have not managed much home wise since moving but We went on a day drip........

Haynes, cars.......yet I do like the classics (guess it's my retro addiction).

Rich's Nerdy side, SRC.

Two hour drive meant, a whole lot of stitches and then a little unpick as I spelt it wrong. Luckily releasing to check after I had attached one wrong letter.

Only me
!

I really should know by now if I think its right its probably wrong.

Funny thing Knitting and SRC (Scalectrix) seem to be hand in hand.

Pigs Travel.............



It's not "Pigs in space" as mentioned on the late great Muppet's but it's Guinea Pigs that fly, fly on planes. My daughters pigs made it, yep the flew BA and they survived.

And I loved the little note above that was attached to there cage, when they arrived safely in the UK.

Back to Vivacious, yes I can now spell it happily or should I say hopefully;-)



I,V,A,C,I



C,I,O,U,S




I'm now at the fun part, the gap filling. This task reminds me of a child at Christmas we always got a colouring book and new felt pens and the aim of a colouring book is to stay in the lines.

Funnily enough I always used the clear paper around the printed picture to draw my own thing, but a fun memory of my mother (not many) she really liked to colour inside the line.

Maybe that's why we differ so much, inside the box and out side the box.


Yes its custard yellow to fill the gaps, an E-bay purchase, it's reminds me of tinned Ambrosia.

My Blythe as they look around their new unfamiliar surroundings.

I must say I need to change the look of Mabel (the left) as in the water colour effect she seems to look a little "Katie Price" and that is not good!.



Rasmus


Rasmus also arrived very happy, happy with his new much smaller surroundings. Here he is dreaming of Stockholm on his tiny UK patio;-).

My odds and ends project,

Recycling at it's best, every end from every recent project.

I started this the day before, we packed up the house and this was my last patio knit/crochet.

My stress crochet.;-)
