Guess...
... What I got this morning!!
I'll give you a clue...
A certain 'somebody' put up a pattern the other day using them!!
Got it??
These!!
Thanks should go to the mum who found them for me!! Vbg! She's looking out for some other 'unusual' ones as well for me!
As its due to tipple down today I shall pack for the weekend and then get me shuttles out and play! I did say its a 'significant' day on Sunday didn't I? Well it is and we're off for a weekend in Sherwood Forest with Li'l Miss and her mum n dad! Will just have to put tatting bag in car of course!! Lol

What a start to the week!!!!
(I managed to hit 'publish' on Monday night when I wrote this.... it wasn't supposed to be published until Tuesday morning!!!!)
On Sunday we went to a local Farmers Market.... and then to MIL's to see her (thought we'd better, she is 92!!)
Sir complained whilst we were there of pins n needles in his fingers.... MIL immediately told him he must see the doctor urgently as it was probably a heart attack!!
So, yesterday I went to school as normal, then to a 'music with mummy' group that Mummy was photographing and she needed to have someone to 'play with Li'l Miss'!!! Now was I going to turn that opportunity down?? Not on your life I wasn't!! LOL
Whilst we were there MIL called Sir to insist he goes to Docs.... so he went!! ECG - nothing.... but the locum insisted he went to A&E!! Off he toddled, got there before lunch (I called him at 12 to invite him to join us for lunch at around 2pm.... and he was already there!!) Wait.... see triage nurse.... wait... see dr.... wait.... have blood taken.... wait.... another ECG - nothing!!... wait.... He eventually got the results of the blood tests at around 7.30pm!!! Go home!! Nothing wrong!!!! He's now bemoaning the loss of a perfectly good day!!!
Anyway, whilst waiting to find out if Sir was going to be admitted (which I knew he wasn't.... VBG) I couldn't settle to tatting.... so.... I started knitting something for Me!!!!
The pattern is on Ravelry and is called Dreambird!! Looks good doesn't it??

Yesterday....
.... That would make a great song title wouldn't it?? VBG
Anyway.... yesterday I received a parcel through the post. Wasn't expecting a parcel, and it didn't look as though it was a birthday present a little early, and apart from that Sir had one the same, so it couldn't be could it?!
Opened it:
A white box with Waterman written on it!
Inside:
A blue box with Waterman written on it.... the plot thickens!!
Inside:
A Gorgeous Rollerball Pen!!
It's a gift from a company that we have shares in, and they've reached 500,000 customers! So they've sent us a present!! It writes lovely!! Now you can guarantee I don't have to sign anything for weeks!! LOL I'll be looking for things to write down, and NOT on the computer!!!
It's the juniors sports day today.... all the kids have to go in the 'colour' of the team they're in.... now when our kids were at school we got to know what team it was about a week before so the parents could make sure there was a tshirt to fit child in said colour.... when did the kids get to know the color?? Yesterday!! (that song title again.... VBG). There are a lot of kids this morning in white!! instead of blue, green, red or yellow!! I ended up with all colours in most sizes when ours were little!!! LOL
It was class night last night, and I am NOT going to show you what I was doing!! It's a Me Design and it's not quite finished yet.... only 2 tiny bits to go, but I ran out of time!! Then I'll write out the pattern so it can be read rather than my cryptic notes to me.... it's going in something special!!!! Now that's got you interested hasn't it?? (Wonder if I should hand write the pattern with that pen.... (runs away muttering to self....))
Chat soon!!

My Favourite....
... Roses are the topic of conversation today!! (Before I go and be nosey on the other blogs!! LOL) You know the song from the Sound of Music.... 'Raindrops on Roses, and whiskers on kittens.... Now I've got you singing it's bound to rain today!!! ROTFL
First up is an old climber rose.... it's my favourite pink and is thornless!!!
Zepherine's Dhrouin is her name and her scent is just lovely in an evening!! Dad used to have it clambering all over the back of his garage!!
The second one is still an old rose.... I seem to remember it was produced just before the 2nd world war and was called Papa Meilland, however it was 'stored' during the war and released after the end of it and renamed Peace!
Aren't they lovely?? Well I think so!!
Rhubarb is coming on apace, we thought it had died, but a spoonful of phostrogen brought it back to life!! Thanks to my green fingered hubby who HATES rhubarb!!! All the more for me!! VBG Mind you, at least I'm not making pot of strawberry jam this year, they seem to be not producing anywhere near as much as last year!! (Phew!) and the rasps are ready to pick, the blackcurrants won't be long either!! Eeh, with all this it's a wonder that I have time to tat!!
Right, off to be nosey at this 'ere new pattern of Janes.... and what to do with those loom bands!!! VBG
Chat later!

Now it's started!
What has??
Well, first up.... the Brim!!! Here you go:
Think it will take a while, that bit was done in the garden yesterday! Also, I was 'presented' with one of those loom band bracelets that seem to be all the rage amongst the kids at school at the moment....
Here you are:
Lovely isn't it?? And before you all say about my being brown.... just remember.... I'm a. outside in all weathers, b. it is a typical British Summer here, and c. we have had a week in Tenerife!!! VBG Wonder what else one can do with them....
As well as all this (very busy day yesterday.... LOL) Li'l Miss has found out how to scoot forwards.... yes folks, she's crawling!!! One of their cats is NOT impressed!!! He objects to having his tail pulled while he's eating!! Poor Kitty!!

Crown!!!
Is finished!!! Now for the ribbon band then the brim!! Mind you it will probably take a bit to do the band... Lol
I 'draped' it over a kitchen towel to show you!! At last... A good reason to have a kitchen towel!! Vbg
However... Being the ever resourceful, kind, considerate OG that I am. Lol.. Here it is again... On the back of my head this time!!
Sir says it looks like a skull cap!! It won't when its finished! Vbg
Been child squishing this morning and we are baby squishing this afternoon!!! Can you tell I like kids?? Wouldn't do my job as a lollipop lady if I didn't! Had to write party invites for them this morning.... Mum ran out of time before she went to work.... so yours truly finished them off for her!! Lol mind you this afternoon I'll be with Sir as we're taking li'l Miss out!! She needs to be back home for around 3 though.... that's when she has her afternoon 'nap'!! Looking forward to that!!
Although.... can someone please explain why it is that I end up telling all of Madams growed up friends that when they have kids, the reason that Grannies are around is to give the babies/li'l kids lots of attention and Mum or Dad some peace!!??!!
Onnyhow... off to make coffee now!!
