The Busy Little Bee Award...

The Busy Little Bee award does not go to me.

As you see I have been terribly un-busy.  

Although, I do think a LOT about potentially busy things.

These ideas stay firmly in the mind.

 But if there was an award for 'thinking' creative thoughts

Then I would win this kind of award.  

Because I have many ideas and are always thinking them.  

However-

 For actually producing these ideas in a tangible way.......

mmmgghh, that is where I have fallen a little short.

 And so, sadly, the Busy Little Bee award does not go to me!

If there was an award for sitting on the couch, watching Mad Men

and knitting complicated diamond patterned shawls.

I would win, hands down.

Unfortunately no such award is in existence.

Lastly

There is one award I am in the running for-

The Glandula Fever award goes to..........

Me.

I win this one, no contest.

Because I am very good at being sick with Glandula Fever.

The illness that goes on and on.

But never fear, Nurse Fifi is here.

And now if I could just teach her to read

my obscure miniature Latin medical book

then I will surely be cured.

And back to the business of Toy making.

Creative Space XVI...

Today I am playing along with Kirsty's Creative Space and revealing to you all my Knitting project for my friend Katarina using this divine mohair from Wool Baa in Albert Park.

The only problem is- my knitting keeps magically, frustratingly, camouflagingly disappearing!

Let me show you how...

Mon evening 9.55 pm.

We all know that it is extremely difficult to prise a Birman off knitting.

However did you know that it is next to impossible to even FIND your knitting when it is hiding beneath a Birman?

Wed evening 8.49 pm.

It took me an entire 20 minutes of hair pulling searching last night to locate my knitting when it had magically morphed into my flokati rug.

Thurs morning 9. 46 am

And as recently as a few minutes ago my knitting was swallowed up by this seemingly innocent fluffy stool.

If only I had known how much adversary everyday household items would pose to my knitting.

Would I have still chosen cream coloured Mohair at such peril?
