Happy hooker......


Thanks for all your comments about Brownies.... I now know my pack is really rubbish!!!

I've decided that I will attend the planning meeting & try to be assertive, if it doesn't work I'll find another pack or leave. I don't want to waste anymore time.


The last weekend of my holiday I started a hexagon blanket......



I was surprised how quickly it grew..... my kind of crafting!!!





I'm going to make this one small to go on the sofa in the living room. This is the cat's sofa so I need something I can chuck in the washing machine.



I couldn't face making another large one.....




Remember this one?????...... I thought I'd keep you all updated with it's progress.....




I started it in March 2008 so I really must finish it but as you know I did re start it thanks to your advice.



The blanket underneath is one that I made years ago. I still love it...... there's loads of mistakes if you look carefully but I taught myself to crochet so I'm very proud!!!



On Friday I did something very naughty..........




For the last few months my laptop has been going so slow ...... I did plan to update the memory but then I thought what the heck I'm going to treat myself!!!!! It was a really good bargain & I did get a sales bonus from work leading up to Christmas...... the top sales person for the region..... so I wanted to buy something special........ I'm trying to justify why I brought it because I'm feeling guilty now.......LOL!!



I must admit I'm finding it hard to use..... it took me an hour to upload these photo's!!!!


Hope you've all had a good weekend ..... I've been working so I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow.

  1. Oh lovely new laptop! I wouldn't be without mine... I brought mine with a bit of extra cash I had but it seemed so frivilous when we had a computer at home (like yours it was soooo slow!!) but I wouldn't be without it now. The best money i've ever spent!

  4. Hope you get the pack sorted out!! If not, I'm sure another pack will welcome you with open arms!!
    Love your crochet, it is gorgeous!!! I don't feel too crafty, and inspired at the moment. My clutch has gone on the car, and as it is quite an old car, I would rather get something else, than pay out hundreds, when something else could go wrong soon!!! Wish I was rich!!! But then don't we all?
    Hopefully everything should sort itself out soon!

    Have a lovely week : )

  5. Ooh jealous of the blanket, that's looking great! Lovely new laptop too.

    I'm not sure what I searched for about the brownies eventually, I think I took chocolate out of the search and did UK only. Thought it looked helpful-ish anyway :D
