We had the best time camping in Devon. The weather was beautiful and the campsite was pretty much perfect, well until w arrived with barky bark (Ruby). I didn’t take a lot of photies but I am getting better at just shooting for the sake of it. I lost the ability to take snapshots somewhere along the line. We had sea views from the tent and the beaches were gorgeous. The kids really enjoyed the body board and Lee is getting one for Clachtoll. You’d never get me in a wet suit or in the sea (shudder). Mal was such a good dog in comparison to Ruby that we kept forgetting we had him! every now and then he’d grumble to let us know he was still there. So all in all it was lovely and we’ll definately go back next year.

My dream tent. If I sold all of my remaining dolls I might be able to buy one. Selling little Lyra would be like selling one of my children though.

I got a snap of them all together. Granted, it’s not very good but I don’t reckon I’ll get a better one anytime soon^_^

Ruby & Old Suze

The three

I made an old pair of jeans into a denim skirt this morning and I couldn’t be happier with it!

These have now been destroyed by this thing…

Naughty dog

I’m addicted to crochet blankets. ADDICTED. So much so that I have developed RSI in my wrist due to the massive amount of hookage going on. I’ve started the hexagon blanket using brown, gold and orange for a nice 70’s feel but all I can do now is look at it sitting there in my basket.

I also bought some really cheap yet lovely and soft acrylic brights to make yet another blanket. I might do larger granny squares for this one. Not sure what I’ll do with all these finished blankets. Maybe I should start palming them off on people…

Oh and I finished my little zigzag scraps blanket originally for the dogs but now claimed by my mother.

I adore this blog and followed her great tutorial on how to make a crochet hexagon. These will form my next blanket.
