Finished heart

Hetty hippo

Hetty is my second design from Heidi bear. Isn't she lovely. I collect hippos so this was a must.

Lollo bear

Heidi bear finished.
It's been a while! What can I say :) I've resumed my crochet diploma and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I've also finished my Lollo bear. Isn't she beautiful. Please follow the link for the pattern.  You won't be disappointed. I'm now making the happy hippo and I believe there is a frog prince due any day now. It's half term. Yay! So whilst looking after my granddaughter I'm doing the usual housework, ironing etc etc and crocheting like mad.  The weather is glorious so I'm off out for some sun.
Crochet kisses one and all 8-)

sad day

I lost my best friend yesterday. she greeted me each morning with a wag of her tail, she followed me around constantly and drove Me nuts at times. but for 17 years she's listened to my tears and my laughter. today I woke up without her. Lizzie, rest in peace my lovely lady. xx

sample 11,19,20

well thats it posted off 3 more samples. As the samples get a bit harder I'm getting a bit choosier. will await with eager anticipation for Pauline's reply. I'm not as confident with these ones  as I have been with the others.
I'm still trying to get the rest of the Xmas presents out of the way and I'm now nearly back at work full time. Time is becoming precious again. I so want my time back at home but not with the pain that I had. I guess I'm just going to have win the lottery!

Half term

What a lovely week off work. Not much diploma work done but made a few more crochet couches as Christmas presents and some art Deco cards for Christmas.

check out this site for some incredible cards and sewn pictures made by a friend of mine.

First week back.

This was my first week back at work after my op. I only worked two mornings but it felt like a whole week!
I've also managed to do two more samples for the diploma. Our ravelry group have been very encouraging when I felt in need of tlc with my holey crochet! So nice to have like minded people to talk to. I'm off to the shops now  to buy some new yarn for sample 19.catch you later. :)
