This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

Hats.............

Well here is my first effort at making a hat. Well not exactly my first but first in a very very long time. This went quite quickly concidering my limited time.

Here is the finished product on the victim.

I am making a scarf with the left over yarn and will post that when completed.
This hat was so simple it is 60 stitches on size 7mm needles. I just knitted plain until it reached the right length for Tristen.
I have started one on a loom to see what is easier and quicker but I think I already know that the knitting is quicker for me so far.

I finally got Tristens scarf done to match his hat. Now to start on Raylene's hat. Why is it I always take his picture when his face is dirty? This was right after lunch of spaggetti and meatballs and I see he is wearing some on his cute little nose.
