Forgotten you dear friends, just life has been in the way of blogging.

I will make an effort this year to at least blog monthly.

I am now wondering what else is in the WIP bags. Yes there are 2.  It is school holidays here in Qld at the moment; so that makes 2 full weeks of knitting; as D enjoys his days at church doing Kids Games 2010.

Miss WW. NO the Shawl is still to be blocked. It has made its way into my drawer as it is yet been needed.  I am a scared chicken in the blocking stage.  Matter of not knowing what I am to do or am doing.  Scared that I am going to ruin the shawl.

Progressive Works - Project 1

I have so many projects on the needles at the moment; I thought I should start numbering them and working on them and also up loading them to Ravelry.

So that I can keep track of how I am doing and how much I am achieving on each project; I thought I would bring you along for the journey.  Boring I know.

Project 1
Waterfall Scarf by Pick Up Sticks!
Knitted in WOOLganics Knitters Yarn - Aust Merino Fleece Wool

Both purchased from the Lovely Kiri
at Yay for Yarn
 Colour: Gondwana.  I may have to buy another skien as pattern is called for 300m of 100% worsted weight 10ply. My yarn is 312m of 8ply.  So i will knit and see how length is.

You maybe asking yourself about the safety pins.  Well they are my stitch markers.  Yes I do have about 12 but needed 24 ( 8 x 3 colours) so hence my 'cheap' homemade stitch markers.

Project 1 is Monday Project

Our long weekend.

Like many states of Australia; Qld had a long weekend.  This is our last one until Christmas.  We have our Labour Day in May.

What did we do? Well do you really want to know?  Of course you do? Well this is what we saw

   
We spent the weekend at the 2010 Wintersun Festival at Coolangatta, Qld.

These are just a few of the 300-400 Pre 1974 cars that we saw.  And only a handful of the 100 photos I took.  Don't ask me what type of cars they are; I just appreciate the paintwork.  S reckons there is some type of theme on the colour works... Yes most of the cars were purple.  Weellllllll !!!!!

Teapots; Coffee Pot; Nope I have a MUG

The other day I was reading away on Aussie Maria's Blog thinking how yummy her Pumpkin Date Cake looked. As you probably now have read, Maria decided to show off her Teapots.  Well I had to have a giggle because 'Shock Horror' I don't own one.

Then through corresponding Emails we both discovered that I don't have a coffee pot; so Maria has asked we share either our Teapots, (nope can't do that); Coffee Pots, (sorry not that either); well how about your favourite cup or mug. (Yeap can surely do that!).  Promise there will be no mug shots of the boys.

So here is my favourite coffee/milo mug at present.  A Christmas present from ME to ME.

My family (S, D, Mikey & Taz) would like to let you know that this is so true.

Also Mikey is healing very well.  Apparently the neighbours cat has come off 2nd best, with Mikey clawing him down the neck; shame he didn't get a major blood vessel
