Some recent crochet projects

I've started crocheting again since I retired almost 2 years ago. So far, I've made 12 blanket/throws, a bag and I'm currently working on  some crochet heart bunting for my daughter. Then I want to make a couple of cat caves for grandson's 2 cats and then I'll start another throw - an African flower one is what I have in mind. I'll keep you posted!

On selfies and technology...

I'm getting better at these selfie photos. It's useful when OH is not around. In fact, I'm thinking of buying myself a selfie stick if I can find a cheap one somewhere! I have tried using my camera which my daughter bought me about 7 years ago but unfortunately my Chrome book and it can't talk to each other. I've also downloaded an MP3 album which I paid for and can't get it to play on my Chrome book either. It will just have to wait until the eldest grandson comes to visit and I'll get him to sort it out! This was Fridays' outfit. Top charity shopped some months back; from £1.00 rail somewhere. Loose trousers; a recent  charity shop purchase but can't remember where -  they are black with greeney blue, lime green, white and tan splodges; sandals are the T strap Clarks I mentioned in my previous post and this is the sixth year I'm wearing them. They'll probably outlive me at this rate! Bangles charity shopped. Necklace b

Hello and yet another fortnight gone by - again! I just want to thank you all for visiting and supporting my blog over the past almost 7 years! And just a reminder - don't be afraid to comment; comments are very special and truly appreciated. Also, if you visit regularly; please do follow me. It's nice to see you have followers and even better when they comment... Of course as soon as I had put my winter clothes away the weather became became very chilly; it started at the weekend and continued almost all the way throughout the last week of April. I wore this outfit on Wednesday. I didn't walk with the group as I had to take middle grandson's mum to hospital in Northampton at 7.30 in the morning. She had been self isolating to avoid catching Covid - hence middle grandson's stay - as she was undergoing day surgery.  I'm pleased to report she made a good recovery and was home that afternoon. I went to Aldi in the afternoon to pick up the weekly bits I always buy f

Too many unworn dresses and a blogger meet up.

Hello again!  On Wednesday, the first of the tiger lilies bloomed and the second of our roses. It has the most beautiful scent; almost sherbety. Unworn Dress No.1 I bought this dress during the first lock down in 2020 and had never worn it! It came from Vinted and is by Artigiano. Next jeans and white pumps by New Look; both charity shopped. All jewellery charity shopped except the earrings which were bought on Bedford market many years ago. I went for a swim on Wednesday; then off to Aldi to do part of the weekly food shop. By then it was time to pick up the youngest grandson from school and then make dinner. I lead such an exciting life - not! We watched 'Sewing Bee' in the evening; it's the quarter final next week. Time is flying by; it's hard to believe that at the time of writing this we're almost halfway through June; halfway through the year 2022. I remember when the year 2000 seemed aeons away but that was more than 22 years ago. At least the weather had imp
