Again, thank you so much Shelley, I love him and he will live on my seasonal shelf. I think I need to get him some play mates though lol.

I finally finished my granddaughters, Whitneys, blanket. I got rather behind on it.


Whitneys Blanket

I have this weekly publication where you crochet a square a week. Eventually you get enough squares to make a throw out of them. Some of the squares I think are pants, but I still crocheted them lol. I am hideously behind on it to say the least! I got the bug to crochet again and managed to do 7 squares over a few days.

Tomorrow is the virtual stitch in on my group. I am hoping to finish The Shelf over the weekend. I am looking forward to starting something new lol.

After my last post, a lot of you expressed an interest in my teapot. It is a limited edition collectors piece. I collect teapots and tea paraphernalia. Don't laugh lol!!!!!!! I have loads of miniature teapots as well as some full size ones. Some of you have stated you would like to see my collection. I will get some photos of them all over the weekend and do a blog entry on them.  I am always on the look out for new ones. Some miniatures I found in charity shops.

Talking of tea, I think I shall have a cup of Rooibos (I don't do caffeine) and a slice of mince meat fruit cake I made :-)


The teapot is a fish and chip shop. Yup, that's right, a fish and chip shop lol.
I haven't brought any pots for simply ages, as haven't had the funds to do so, but I am hoping to add to them this year. I also collect china thimbles but that's a different story!

  2. Boy that Shelley sure gets around! LOL He's a cutie. You did tell Colin it's a boy, right?? Your blanket looks great. I can only handle one craft in a lifetime! LOL
    Your tea sets sound interesting. I don't collect anything but dust in my house.

  3. Love your frog! I agree, you need to get him some buddies lol. Your crocheting is beautiful! What a lovely blanket for your grand daughter. I have attempted it several times and knitting too. I can't seem to keep it straight though and always end up with shorter/longer sides. lol Thankfully I have a great friend who crochet each of my kids a blanket. I've got them hidden away in my room for fear something will happen to them. Once they get older I'll put them out to display. Silly I know but I love them!!!

    I'm looking forward to seeing your teapot collection. I think those are really cool things to collect! :)
