yes, that model is probably going to get too pricey for me though. She insists on being paid in champagne cocktails......!!
Choose Your Friends (and Family) Wisely...
I'm not saying I'm friends with my friends just because they are good-looking....my friends are beautiful inside and out. My family too. But it sure helps, when looking for top models for my scarves if they are kind and aesthetically pleasing ;-)! This week, two loyal and brave friends (Els a...

Adventures in Nuno
So, my felting (yes Karen, I said 'felting') obsession continues in full force, and I promised a tutorial right? but then i got carried away playing with 'nuno' felting. Nuno (Japanese for 'cloth') describes a felting technique when wool or other loose fiber is bonded to a sheer fabric (most of...

Works in Progress
Just like Rihanna (who knew she crocheted?), chains and WIPs excite me! I haven't talked about crochet for a while on my blog but believe me, there's still plenty going on. Here are a few of my latest Works In Progress :-) First up: the yarn-gobbling Glamorous Granny from Le Monde de Sucrette'...

Champagne in one hand....camera in the other
This weekend I entered 3 of the 1000s of photos taken during my 13 months of travel around New Zealand, South America and India to the Photography competition at Ventura County Fair. I naively presumed that it would be a low key, small scale affair; me and approximately 8 other people.... I en...

Alpacas and Packing
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a packing supremo! If packing was an Olympic sport, I’d be atop of medal mountain. When travel beckons, my bag is packed quicker than you can say “pronto”, in a compact, spatially efficient and effortlessly stylish manner, ready to go at least a couple of tim...

So....I have severe crocheter's Attention Deficit Disorder! I will continue to make lined bikinis, baby booties and kiddie clothing as well as T shirt (tarn) and wool roving handbags (using your fab bag lining tutorial LOTS!)...then there's "Le Monde de Sucrette"'s giant granny square challenge and the freeform CAL at "Crochet Liberation Front". In September I'm attending the CGOA Knit and Crochet show in North Carolina and that's gonna open me up to heaps more crochet trouble with classes in freeform, broomstick and hairpin crochet.I KNOW more as-yet-unidentified projects will creep in when i'm not looking! thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Sewing Patterns and Craft Mags Giveaway!
Wooo! I'm feeling sooo good right now. I've just handed in a big chunk of writing to my editor. This means I can have a guilt free rest day - before I get back on with the rest of that book. What shall I do? Go bungy jumping, salsa dancing, take in theatre show, or have a slap up meal with Al...
ha ha! I recognize that 'honest' ;-)

My Granny’s A Wool-Eating Monster!!
I vowed I’d never do it….never!! never!! never!! No way Jose would I crochet a GRANNY SQUARE!!!! It just seemed too, um, grannyish! I realized I was granny-prejudiced but I get teased enough about my "habit" (read obsession) and crochet already suffers from an (undeserved) reptuation of being...
thanks Angie and thanks for organizing the challenge. i've never done a CAL before and I'm meeting such lovely people! It's lovely to see how you've connected people from all around the world! Long live the granny!!
