Friday. Can't stop browsing.

Well its Friday. 4 whole days since my last post.
4 whole days that should of been spent with a hook.
4 whole days that weren't
Since starting up this blog,
the thing I've been busiest with is....
BROWSING.
I just can't stop (lol)
Browsing blogs.
Browsing more blogs.
Then browsing EVEN more blogs.
Marvelling at how fabulous they all look.
Being amazed at all the lovely crafty objects.
Drooling over wonderful finished objects.
(Yes I did say drooling.)
Admiring everyone's craftiness.
Being fascinated by how they find time to post.
Being astounded that they post so often.
AND have a lovely little (or not so little)
finished item to show as well.

Amazed that's what I've been.

So I think its time for a little resolution.

To allow myself browsing time only ...
AFTER I've done some crafty work.

Their that sounds like a good idea
Lets hope I can stick to it.
Otherwise I won't have any finished objects to show at all.

Here's hoping next post I have some pictures to show.

Starting out

Well this is my first post on my blog.
I feel a little cautious but I suppose everyone does at first.
I love handmade things and making stuff. 
Crochet is my favourite crafty pass time I taught myself from books about 3 years ago now.
And really I just cant stop. I like how it feels to make things from a long piece of yarn. 
The feeling of accomplishment is great. 
Something that I never would of understood until I tried it out.

It just wasn't cool to know how to sew or crochet. 
But well the past few years has seen that change hasn't it ?!

Anyway I'm also taking part in  group on Ravelry called come blog-a-long.
Which really gave me the motivation to start up a blog. 
The Idea is that you pick a list of projects. 
Then write about your progress over the next 12 months.
I thought it was a brilliant idea and well here is my list.
 Better late than never.


Attic 24 crochet bag
Attic 24 summer garden granny
A lapghan of French nanny squares
A pair of fingerless gloves (pattern not yet chosen)


All lovely lovely crochet lovelies but my main love is amigurumi. 
So I also want to use up the 10 balls of fleshtone yarn that I have to make some dolls. 
To hopefully take to a craft fair at some point over the next 12 months. 

And finally I want to make a crochet version of my lot.
My family I mean I haven't got a car lot or anything like that.
My youngest son has asked me to make him so I've added that to my list. 
What do you think? A lot? Or an OK amount?


 Yesterday was progress Sunday. 
I'm a little late with my post but I thought I'd show some pics of what I've been up to.
Here goes...

That's my projects so far.
I don't think I'll be doing them in any particular order.
Just doing bits and bobs of different  ones as I go on. 
Hopefully their will be more updates on another day.
