TIAS Day 2

 Ok Peeps can someone please explain to me why I look at the destructions for day 2 and promptly put in extra picots on EVERY ring??

Yes, I'm the bonkers TOG that did that!!  Not only that, but I started a second one and did exactly the same!!  It was when I was at the end of Day 1 for the second set that it dawned on me!!  So, that was cut off and the first one was undone!!  How crazy can I get?? (Don't answer that.... I'm totally crazy, I already know!!)

Anyway, I've redone that one, and will get around to redoing the second one, maybe a pic tomorrow!  This part is modelled by the cat!  My semi permanent laprug in the winter!!  I'm still thinking it's my elephants foot.... you can see the toes!! Lots of toes!! VBG

Here you go!

A New TIAS

I do love it when a certain TOG friend decides to run a TIAS. We've missed them!! If you don't know what I'm talking about head over here. My contribution for yesterday is below. I've decided it's definitely an Elephants Foot Umbrella Stand this year! Jane loves to tease us, but it's my decision!! Those of you who remember will know that every year it's my guess till it's obviously not... I'll get it this year for sure! On other levels, we're still in the lockin here in the UK. Only go shopping once a week for the longer lasting essentials, and things like bread when I run out. Catfood is usually what I run out of.... depends on the weather as to how much the cats eat indoors! One cat has moved down the street because they've a catflap thats permanently open and food down all the time. All the street cats go and help themselves, we call it Cat Cafe! They get to socialise more than we do!! Anyway, here's my EFUS after Day 1.... He's allowed to stand on the laptop until he gets too big and heavy for it!! VBG

I Gotta...

New Toy!!! A new plaything! What is it you ask? I know because I can hear you... LOL As soon as that lockin thingy stopped here in the UK I decided that my 15-16 year old laptop needed replacing. It's ancient, it belongs in a museum, it still works, albeit very slowly, I can't upgrade the software on it any longer, and there's stuff on there I use regularly! Its on it's umpteenth new battery, the charger died.... every time it went flat it had to go live upstairs for Sir to charge it.... So, it's been sorta replaced, it's still here because I've not got the right lead (yet) to drag files from one to another.... However, I'm now the proud owner of a brand spanking new, glitzy, shiny, metallic gold Macbook Air!! Now I can update on here without having to resort to either typing on my phone or opening up the software on the screen, typing, saving, opening on phone, inserting pics, saving, then posting!! Im back to being able to do it all in one move!! Brilliant! When the case arrives it may just have to have some tatty bits on it!! LOL Just in time for that thing the TOG from 'down south' was on about the other day... I'll be able to comment, send pics etc soooo much easier!! LOL. She'll be bombarded with emails from this TOG!! VBG

What does

One get when ones husband gets a 3d printer?

Well, because Sir was finding out how it works... I received the top pic! Yes I have used both of them!

Then he decided to try a different material.... A quick email to that 'tatty OG down south' and another to Tim Tats Too ensued and within 15 hours I received the second pic!! Now to try it out!!

Archaeological digs and crochet hooks

Have been my life for the last 3 weeks! Miss me?? The dig was in the village on the scheduled ancient monument and was the Roman Civitas of Petuaria. The forum hasn't been found this year, but there's evidence that a high status house was built on top of it! We hope anyway! We've proved historians wrong, Petuaria was definitely thriving after 200 AD!

Anyway, nuff of that... I'll show you a couple of pics at the end!

Granddaughters are brilliant aren't they? They get jealous! Big Miss got a huge blanket when Lil Miss was born, I know you will remember! Anyway, lil miss wants one too. But they can't be the same!

During lockdown I came across the remnants of the yarn from the original blanket. Then saw a tube vid on Mosaic Crochet! Great way to use oddments! So, during less busy times on the dig, and between tea and bed I was crocheting... The crochet is coming along....

Chat later!

I bin...

 Scrubbin!!

I heard you ask.... There's an archaeological dig going on in the town. It's a playing field that's got the same sorta status as Stonehenge!

The dig started a week ago and we've found loads so far! Others can dig.... I get to scrub, gently, with a toothbrush! All comes to an end next weekend, so if I'm quiet... You know why!

Found in a nearby garden

Guess what....

I'll be doing today?

Last week whilst trawling that face.... site.  I spotted people talking about Ewa Wasyliszyn and her new book. Falling in love with some of the pictures of what people had nade, I contacted her.  

Long story short, I paid via PayPal on Saturday. Guess what arrived this morning...

Off to find shuttles and thread!!  Thank you Ewa!
