Look what arrived in my mailbox a few weeks ago. at last ...a camera ! Have you noticed i have a few more pics than usual? My big sister sent me her old one
as she got a flash new one and this one was doing nothing...but it is busy now ! It makes blogging alot more interesting with pics to show and tell. I have figured out how to download to the computer now so i can post a few pics of things.yay! thanks pamela.
As we are on dial it is sooooo s-l-o-w-w-w..... like you wouldn't beleive. It takes ages to load the page just to do a new post so often you will see just a pic as that seems to load fast but to write anything is a right pain so i have been going into the local library and editing my stuff. We can't get broadband where we live as we are just in the wrong spot and it will cost heaps to actually get it so this will have to do.
Hopefully over this long weekend i will be doing my lq blocks and maybe some more of the candied hexys that i have not touched for months.

Toaster cover for my mum.
Well this is the toaster cover i made for my mum during the break. Her little toaster blew up! I have been trying to talk her into getting a 4 slice one but she was too stubbon. She sent me to the shop with instructions to get one but not a crome one as they leave marks so she got her toaster and it was white but it was a 4 slice one as that was all they had in stock! Yay ! she's getting use to it now. She was just going to throw an old teatowel over it so then i decided to make her a nice cover for it, and the colours go with her kitchen too.

IT'S ALL OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!
We had a quiet christmas. We didn't have to rush off to anyones place on xmas day, we stayed home and the boys opened there prezzys and tried out all their new gadgets. We layzed around and ate and drank and ate some more on this and that then i cooked our xmas dinner in the evening instead of the middle of the day. It was hot and i didn't want to cook so i didn't till later. I dida big chicken all stuffed with all the trimmings and a turkey roll which was really tasty and there is no waste on them , all meat. We were so full we didn't bother with dessert which was xmas pudding...it's still in the pantry! It was a good day.
On boxingday i packed up the truck and the boys and i went to my mums place. We had another xmas dinner she cooked and ate to much again. So today we are taking it easy food wise.
It has been so hot and muggy with it but today it is raining a bit but still muggy. The gardens need a drink and are getting it now.
Santa never bought me a new camera unfortunately s, so no pics.
While i'm at mums I am hoping to make some progress on my african flower afghan as i have't touched it for 2 weeks! Today is the first day i haven't felt tired as i've had quite a few late nights with work and christmas shopping and other stuff so finnally i can relax and not think of getting up for work for a couple of weeks, yay!! I hope everyone has a great break and holiday.

Is this an egg or what?
Well the other day i went to collect my hens eggs and this is what i found! This really huge egg! This is the fourth one i have had like this. The first one weighed in at 98 grams...the next 102gm... then 104gm.. then the latest weighed in at 106grams! I had that for my breakfast and it was a double yoker and very yummy too!!! they all were. The chook still lives! In the pic the egg in the centre of the bowl is a normal sized one . All the other ones are the extra-large ones that my son wanted to keep for souveniers. He taped the shells back together as you can see!

joined rows
A little bit of progress!
Well I made a wee bit of progress on my throw. The pic is not a good one as it was done in hurry as i was using it to see how it will look. The camera is great for that as you can flik from one pic to another and view it really quickly and see what 'pops' out at you.
I have been joining the rows end to end so far with white yarn and then i will join them with the lime green all the length along and do some sort of edging all around ,probably with a a zig-zag border not a straight one.
My next crochet project will be to try out the bauble decorations on attic24.typepad.com blog, as she has put up a great tutorial . I should be trying to get some more of my candied hexys done but there is no show of that happening just yet as work is keeping me busy!
My little kitty , 'ozzy', has not come home and we haven't been able to find him, his brother,'hurly' is missing him and us too...I keep hoping i will see him looking in the window as he use to do when i am on the computer writing on my blog.

New total
Well I have a new total on my african flower hexys, 210 now. I have layed them out to how i think i will join them up and worked how many i need in each colour. I only have about 5 to do.... i think. Then it is on to joining them . That will take a bit of time...but slowly i will get there...before winter i hope !
I have thought of a new crhochet project when this one is done. It is a nother afghan blanket ... a ripple afghan. on attic24 blogs she has loads of interesting chrochet things to make, so i will give it ago. I did a practice peice yesterday to learn how to do the pattern and it is ezy pezzy!! I will post a pic when i have one of that later on.
I've lost one of my babies...ozzy has gone wandering last tuesday evening..no sign if him yet and hurly misses him . he is wandering round like a lost sheep. Hope he comes home soon, He may have gone ''tom catting" . I hope that is all and he comes home soon.
