Sunday

I have finally found some time to sit down and blog! Yay! And I will thank Bernie Eccelstone for giving me this time tonight.  If it wasn't for the telecast of the grand prix I would be in the lounge room folding washing in front of the television.  But because the boys want to watch the grand prix I am happily sacrificing the folding of the himalayan sized pile of washing to another night this week. =) Yes, I know.  Mothers and wives do so much for their families...

I'd firstly like to take some time to say thank you for all the lovely comments I have received about my creative space this week.  There have been so many and I wish there was an easier way to say thank you personally.  Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to email back a response to those who have their email enabled.  It probably sounds silly as I am actually quite tech savvy, it's just that I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and sort out the finer nuances of blogspot yet.  I really like the way JS kits works but I haven't had the time to play around with and install it either so until I do I will be limited to mass style thankings.

So what has been happening over the last few days?  Let's see...
  • I finished the giveaway day in may scarf.  Yep.  A marathon knitting effort. It's about 170cm long too.  And I did very special things to it so it's even more special than the one I made myself.  Pop by on the 27 May (Wednesday) and it will be on display, waiting for someone to win it!
  • I went to the Sonny and Coco market.  It was very busy!  Lot's and lot's of stalls and lot's of beautiful arts and crafts too.  
  • And last but by no means least, I discovered (and then purchased) the item below when I went to Clegs on Friday (not to mention the ridiculous amount of other stuff I bought but let's not go there)....
Lap magnifier

It's a lap magnifier!  I know that for some of you it will probably seem like I've been living in the dark ages, but I can honestly say I have never seen one of these before.  I am so excited! It was as though it was calling me; like it was written in the starrs.  I was only talking about needing a contraption like this to Kirsty at Kootoyoo the other day.  It's amazing! Blindness by fine crochet is a now a thing of the past.  My only dilemma is wondering how tram commuters will react to it?  Do you think I'd look like a freak if I used it on the tram?
