Hearts and Hell's Angels

Lovely lovelies made by Mum for me in the brilliant bamboo yarn that's turned out to be perfect for crochet. Clever mum that she is , she's been making up her own various patterns and adapting others, what Mum has that I don't is great tension for making these wee pieces.

This on reminded Mum and I of forget me nots, maybe the shape or perhaps the colour? Ha ha Mr B is meant to be getting the kids quietly to bed and I can hear great hilarity and jumping about from up there!!! Honestly.

We lovingly call the the Leggy ones, their skinny chain stitch petals work really well against the felt for me.

Rose pink bamboo yarn heart adpated from a german pattern by Mum.

So now the klaughing is crying *sigh* hey ho it's his turn to settle them tonight before popping out for a spot of fishing , I shall say nothing and carry on my typing:D

A whole box full, how lucky am I, I know I harp on about it but what a clever Mum I have!

I sorted Father's Day prezzies for the 2 dads by ordering a box of Kate's fab Brownies. If you are lloking for a differnet totally delicious I am going to die happy eating it gift these are they. try them that's all I can say. She lives just up the road from me and I went for the "Buy 2 get one for you offer", picked mine up and it was tirture. All the way to the park with Olly the delicious smell of fresh cooked warm brownie was wafting out the box at me....shall I eat one..... shall i? Yum yum in my tum *sigh* Here's the link pop over for a look. Kate's yummylicious Brownies

Here's my growing stock box 4 deep inplaces. I have a gift of a handbag to make first and then onto necklaces this week, Olly depending! On nosing through other blogs I found this one Pam de Groot have a look at her spectacular designs.

This wee wierd specimen was found by K on llangennith beach yesterday whilst walking Olly and is a masked crab, funny little thing it spends it's life under the sand, sadly his spectacular feelers fell off in the car on the way home, to the tune of tears and "Can't we superglue them on?" Nope crab and superglue was a dismal failure!

And so I am now ing here at the computer, lulled ( ha ha ) by the sounds of the hells angel biker festival that lurks in the next village. When we first moved here there was no sign of it. Now don't get me wrong I have nothing against the bikers, in fact the kdis and I like to check out all the wierd and wonderful bikes and sidecars, but the big BUT is the heavy metal music goes on until 6am!!!!! Friday, sat and sunday. Sunday is taking the mick when everyone has work the next day. Lying in our bed, velux shut we can here all the words to Yingwe Malmsteen's "Woo, Oh Black Betty....Bam a Lam wooo oh black betty ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,," My plan is to have too much wine for once and sleep through I hope! Last year at 8am they started up again. They don't even offer free tickets to us locals, not that I'd go but the thought would count. Mustn't grumble, I know!!

Olly is out for the count whilst farting still whew! Success tody in finding agreat gundog trainer who sees me for what I am not a shooter, let's face it my family know if I tried to shoot anything I'd end up shooting myself by accident- but a new dog owner with a pooch with strong instincts and very intelligent. We are all popping over to him on monday(My Birthday 35 here I come) for a trip with Olly. Wierd birthday I hear you say, well no I'm really looking forward to it. Not so much the oven and tumble dryer repair in the morning I think that bill is going to give me a premature heart attack. My birthday prezzie? A wooden aldder for our mezzanine!!! Who says romance is dead? Honestly I own up ok, I actually asked for the ladder so our poor guests can get to bed safely at last after 10 years of a wibbly step ladder. One too many G&Ts and woops there you went. It arrived today with snap crackle and pop bubble wrap which had driven the driven mad for 2 hours and was it just the ticket? Yes it was I am a happy bunny, brownie in hand, trouser button undone to fit said brownie in, glass of rose in other hand ahhhhhhhh
