Hello

[Purplegem]

Hello fellow crafty peeps..

I've been rather slow to say the least since registering, to say hello or log in.
Life can be strange at times..

My Loves and Likes are
Crafts and hobbies when my health allows, I love knitting especially, and also sewing, card making, sketching/painting, bit of cooking/baking.
Love spending time with my hubby and family, I love being a grandparent to our lovely little granddaughter - it allows me to be unashamadly child like again and we have great fun together!
All sorts of music across the times old stuff and new, apart from opera (it grates and I hardly understand what they are saying..?)
My latest fave songs are by Jools Holland/ Ruby Turner (The Informer), Henry Preistman (Grey's the New blonde) and Seals new album. One album I wear to death is called 'Sunny Afternoons' and its mostly 60's - Summer of Love and all that

I would like to
Learn how to spin, to dye and felt
Learn how to basket weave
Live self sufficiently and in harmony with the earth (tough one that..)
Be healthy


At the moment I've a chest infection and not knitting much, I really need to get on and finish making a jumper for our 22month old grandaughter, it's a present for christmas. It's a roll neck jumper with a 'tiger' on the front - my first real go at intarsia work. There's a few bloopers on it - but for a first go it's ok.
Not really decided what to do next, I have enough stash of various kinds which I really ought to use up. I tend to forget what I've bought, and forget what I said I'd do next - sieve for brains me!!

Look forward to chatting with you all and having a laugh

Seasons Greetings to you all
