writing a post at the moment is a bit like pulling teeth...actually its not that bad.
so this will be an attempt to put letters on the screen and feel i can scratch off another chore for the week.

things i feel like live been doing for EVER

1. reknitting the front of a jo sharp cardigan....knitting patterns blow my brain sometimes so after reknitting one side twice i think ive got it....now to reknit the other side...im working on a year as a dead line!

2. a quilt, two sheets joined together with a bit of wadding inbetween....easy yes but im stuck in the edges...the top and bottom edges i simply turnd the bottom sheet over the top but the sides have the quilting lines, you know the type, basic lines...im thinking bias binding....

(talking of bias binding...when i was growing up my mum always called bias binding, boris binding. i dont know why or how it just was and who were we to know any different. infact it wasnt until i moved to sydney in my early twenties and walked into a sewing shop that i saw the word BIAS...yep almost half my life ive known that bindind as boris... infact we have a list of words my mother has made up, as children we never doubted her now it just makes us cry with laughter, its the one truely bonding moment our family have together)

3. finishing of the chickens nesting box, yes those girls are laying....in our neighbours backyard.
so tomorrow im klipping their wings and giving them a set of nesting boxes the queen would love to nest in.

4.painting the hall door into a blackboard....ive done the first coat...weeks ago

there you go all done another post and a lovely pickie of a blanket i found in a pram in hard rubbish a while back. an original pamela walker print

What a cute little blanket, I love the giraffes. My mum also seems to make up her own words too, and we do tell her the correct way, I think she just prefers her own understanding of them.

What a gorgeous blanket! Also, to make your chooks lay where you want, lock them up for (preferably) 2 whole weeks and feed them in there. That way they 'learn' where they should be laying. Otherwise try one week if two seems too long. Good luck!

Hey, I can't knit at all - so I'm impressed with any kind of knitting talk.
