SUNDAY MARCH SUNDAY MARCH

 

Oh yes It's  now March ! I won't say it! but I will say that February always seems such a short month and this February was also a quite grey month too.

But the sun appears to have fought it's way through and is shining away like Spring is just round the corner, handy that ;) 

The afternoon sun shining into the house from the garden. Not only that, the weather forecast is for sun for the next week at least ! Mind you it is cold if you are not in the sun plus it's minus degrees overnight.

But oh seeing that lovely sun makes up for all the cold. 

It will also mean Paul can help our neighbour get those enormous hedges trimmed to a decent height and before any birds start nesting in them. Still about sixty foot left to do and my neighbours side will have an enormous amount of the cuttings to get rid of or store until he can.

Magda is our headliner today, she sneaked in and nabbed one of the Hattie Berry's I'm making for the Chat n Snap ! I have to say the colours do go with her outfit.

I have now made 80 hats ! I know obsessed or what ! But I can make them in the evening while watching or half watching but listening to films or the TV.

When I first started knitting the hats and found I didn't have as many multi coloured balls as I wanted , I did nip over to ebay and buy a bag full of small 20g or so skeins of multi coloured wools.

These have worked out really well in that the slightly bigger skeins can make one hat and the smaller ones, if I use a similar plain yarn for the rib will make one maybe with it finished in the similar yarn.

The skeins when made into small balls ready for knitting.

Some I have knitted up. So I have been moving hats around to get a better pairing with the cardigan's as shown above.

another photo of Magda just because . .  .

I've not really been trying to sell things lately, due to one thing and another, which as been quite nice. I did have a couple of small Roche dolls arrive that had been on layaway, so a doll fix.

Little friends, Aimi and Jonny, who are around 7 to 8 inches tall.

I also bid on a gorgeous button nosed boy on ebay but I could not really afford him, so it was a half hearted bid, but he was a stunner and a shame I couldn't make a decent bid. But not meant to be.

So since we are now in March, it's almost doll photo day, please send in any you have to share.

Wishing you all a great happy healthy week and month ahead
