Brrrrr its winter

Wow its winter here in Tingha. I took this photo the other morning just outside my back door. Don't know what the temp was but it was freezing and all that ice on the ground makes me shiver just looking at it.

I was having a bit of a pity party type day the other day when I got a prezzie in the mail from a good friend of mine on the coast. This crazy owl tea cosie! Its official I have a crochet owl tea cosie collection... :)

Crochet Baby

Yesterday was one of those lazy days by the fire when you just have to pick up your hook and do a bit of that granny square your trying to master. Biggest daugther and littlest daugther and muma just chillin in the kitchin. Littlest daughter was just kind of wondering round the kitchen every now and then sitting on her fisher-price powertouch making the ladies voice stutter and repeat zzzzzzz 20 times in a row but she must have been secretly keeping an eye on my granny square because the minute I had my back turned there she was having a go at it. Maybe she will be a crochet prodigy...

trift wednesday

Found this unreal crochet owl tea cosie in the Inverell Red Shield op-shop yesterday. I was extra excited about it because I have just learnt to crochet myself wanting to make this baby cocoon and beanie from here for my sister who is about to have her first buba and am now crochet crazy.

Its funny I tryed to teach myself to crochet just before I got pregnant with my son and his nine now!! It was something I thought I would never do and I am a really crafty person and love to dabble in all crafts but no crochet was not something I was ever going to master and apart from that I am left handed, which seems to make it harder to get the stitches but I say if you where like me give it another go and find someone really talented at teaching to show you, I went to my local craft store and Loraine showed me, it only took and hour and I was off like a rocket but I have lost my hook at the moment..grrr I think the baby took off with it!
