46th Birthday

Well it has been a week since i turned 46. I was spoiled by the Fat Quarter Swap Group as we have a Birthday club in this Swap Group and i thank them all for making my Birthday one to remember. Here is what i received.

Can you see the 2 new owls that have come to live at my house. Heather made the beautiful owl with the red ribbon and i have already got it in my craft bag to carry everywhere. The other owl this the scissors that look like glasses was from my girlfriend. She knows me very well. 

 I am also in the Forum Birthday Swap. Look at the beautiful selection that i received. As you can see i have started to thread the blue ribbon through the lace and i think that it looks great and with that FQ would make a lovely diary cover. What do you think?

Well i was a very lucky girl and had a wonderful time opening up all the parcels on my birthday as i was here with DS as DH was away at the mines. Thank you all for the beautiful things that i received.

I'm Back

Hi all well what a year it has been and it is November and i have been away for 7 months. I have been keeping in touch and watching all the beautiful things that you clever ladies have been up to but just have not had the energy to blog. But now i am back on a straight line and hope all the zig zag's are gone.

7 months ago i showed you some beautiful wool for making scarfs and i must say i have had a great time sitting and knitting over the last months. I have made 17 to date and had them hanging everywhere and one morning look where i found some.

  I have a scarf trees ha ha.

Knitting Scarfs

Now i hope that you all have not fallen to the ground with two posts in two days. HA HA. I was inspired by Peg who put up a U-Tube link to show how easy it is to use the beautiful lacy wool and make one of those lovely scarfs.

My sister found and sent me this wool and now that i have watched the U-Tube video i am on my way.Started with the blue yesterday and should have it finished this afternoon.
Sharon over at Lilabelle Lane got some beautiful wool with little pom pom on the bottom. So head on over and have a look at the beautiful scarf that she has made.

Well i am off to see if i can finish this scarf see you all soon.
