FO Friday & Week In The Life Day 1

I have some crochet for FO Friday (finished object Friday for those not familiar with the term).

They are from a block a month group on Ravelry.  I definitely need some practice with blocks, as you can see from how crap these are, so I thought it would be a good way of learning new stuff.  For lots of much better finished objects than mine head on over to Tami where the FO Friday is hosted.

So here are my attempts





Hands up if you are doing the Week In The Life project run by Ali Edwards.  I had really good intentions with the documenting part of this but since it is the first week of the school holidays here in England I ended up bypassing the actual writing part and have just gone with the photographing.  I decided I would mainly use the Hipstamatic app on my iphone since it is better than the actual phone camera and using my phone is so much easier than taking the camera everywhere.  So here is Day 1 (Monday yeah I know it is Friday lol)

Wednesday Memes

This Wednesday I am taking part in two memes.

First up one I haven't taken part in before - Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday

My workdesk is basically any free surface in my kitchen. Usually the table but as that is often a dumping ground for the rest of the family I am using my counter top and cooker top.  This is the Basic Grey Page Of The Month kit for March which arrived yesterday with my scraproom kit.  It is a shocking photo sorry.




The layout is a party theme but I am thinking of using some beach pictures instead as we don't really have any party pics.



This picture shows the April one aswell which looks fab.


Second meme is the usual WIP Wednesday



I have a bit more of my Sockknitters Anonymous mystery socks done.  I am finished on clue 3 once  I have turned the heel.



I have made it my mission this year that I will learn to crochet.  I saw this on one of my favourite blogs and was inspired to give it a go.  I had this book recommended to me as a brilliant resource for beginners and had to laugh at the bit on the cover which says -learn to crochet - even knitters.  I don't know if being able to read knitting patterns and do just about anything that is asked of me with regard to knitting will be a stumbling block or a help. Anyway I have ordered it and will take it from there once it arrives.  I learnt to do a foundation chain as part of a provisional knitting cast on but that is about it.

Feeling Beachie

Quite by chance I stumbled across this blog



This week’s statements:


1. I am probably in the minority, but I really don’t like______

2. I get so mad when I see someone ______

3. After I _________ I feel better.

4. If I don't___________________- it will really stink!





1. I am probably in the minority, but I really don’t like Twitter - love Facebook but I don't get Twitter at all. Don't get Harry Potter either just so you know.


2. I get so mad when I see someone shutting a door in town without looking to see if anybody is behind them.  The number of times when the kids were little that the pram ended up getting hit by these ignorant asses is too many to count. Always seems to be older people too.


3. After I rant I feel better. Either on here or on Facebook but I love to rant about stuff. Gets it off my chest.


4. If I don't clean the constant yellow puddle at the side of the loo - it will really stink!  Living in a male dominated household is not pleasant when they can't hit the pot!
