Myriads of pictures to show you ...
And to begin with, a picture of my wonderful Secret Santa goodies that I should have showed you two months ago (with abject apologies to my wonderful Secret Santa who I think was Allison. Please correct me if I am wrong and forgive me for my teabag memory)
Can you believe how yummy this lot is? The shawl has been worn several times since this picture and has attracted many admiring comments.
Next lot of photos are of Amber's stone paintings which she is hoping to sell to raise some much needed spondoolies for Mother's Day, Mum's Birthday ... oops sorry I mean for art supplies. (Silly me)
There's one missing, a wonderful study of a Stag Beetle. Will get that one on as soon as I change the batteries in the camera.
As I have mentioned in the past, I have undertaken some commissions. The first one was a Snoopy pullover, as ably modeled by Ivan's tip (sorry desk)
And I am currently working on a fairisle tanktop (which is looking very nice) and a baby blanket in 2ply Sirdar Snuggly. This is the tension and pattern swatch I knitted in the same yarn.
It looks yellow in this picture but in actual fact it is white.
Here's a very clever Blackbird, normally ground feeders, who has worked out how to balance on my hedge and help himself to the fat balls in the hanging feeder. The Magpies try this from time to time, but being much bigger and heavier birds they keep sinking into the hedge or tripping up and falling head first into it. They have worked out how to flip the fat balls through the top of the feeder (lifting the lid first) and then legging it with a whole one.
Then of course there's always the Great Tit (thought that was David Cameron but it turns out to be a very pretty songbird)
