Feeling meh

Hello me lovelies, I've woken up with an eye that looks like I've been ten rounds with Mike Tyson in the night. Highly highly attractive. So I'll be traipsing into town to see the same doc at 11am. You know, people slag off GPs and the NHS. I won't hear a word said against them. Doctor Google and I are 99.9% sure I do have shingles. But I will let you know later how I got on!

Had a lovely lazy day yesterday. Faffed about on Facebook and spotted this picture/page and immediately thought of Pam. I read Pam's blog everyday and she makes THE most beautiful quilts I've ever seen.

I now follow the 24 Blocks page. Here's another shot of the quilt. 

It's gorgeous! Pam told me yesterday that she once made a skirt from men's ties! How swishytastic!!

Here's link to Pam's blog >>>http://agoodlifeintydd.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/bargains-and-hooky-trial.html

Yesterday, when I finally found my crochet hooks, I used You Tube and tried to make a Granny Square ! I tried so hard! As a knitter I find it difficult using wool and fingers!! But I will persevere!! My efforts are here... Looking NOTHING like the tutorial pieces!! 

My first attempt at the round bit. 

My second attempt looks NOTHING like the neat purple square my online tutor has.

I had one last try.... 

You can see how dreadful I am at this hooky mularky!! But I can also see there's a slight improvement!! The top one I tried two colours. 

I will persevere though. More dreadful efforts heading your way soon then! 

Had a clear out yesterday. This was the first live concert I took my five year old to at the Manchester Arena! I'm trying to de clutter so into the recycling in went! I almost rescued it again but no, I let it go!

Right then, best get ready to go show the doctor my gammy eye! Lucky him!

Hopefully you are having a better week than me! Love from
