And then Life got in the way!

So I started this blog full of good intentions and then life just throws a curve ball!
After 20 years in the same job the Hubster decided he had enough and was ready for a change. As life was already chaos around here we decided why not and Hubster researched business opportunities and found a franchise refilling ink cartridges and so big steps were made and a franchise was bought. Now 3 months later things are going well! We've decided to not renovate our Flood damaged house but put it on the market and move closer to our new business.
Crafting has taken a bit of a back seat, but I still have a few things on the go, mainly crochet things as they are just easy to pick up and put down. Miss M put in an order for a Granny square blanket in lime green and cream, and I'm halfway into that.
I'll try and be a good little blogger and post more often

ANZAC Day

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Lest we Forget!

New Beginnings

I've started knitting some socks with that lovely Green Variegated Finnish wool the postie delivered yesterday!
I've been knitting up a storm and it is a pleasure to knit with! I can't wait to wear the socks!
(will add a photo when I get home coz I'm at work at the moment and have no camera with me, I do have my knitting here though! LoL)

as promised  pics of sock in progress

2 balls of Noro Sockyarn, 2 skeins of green hand dyed Finnish wool,1 ball Moda Vera Marvel black, 1 ball each of Bella Baby Sugar 4 ply wool in Camel and Coral and 1 ball of Cheackheaton Merino Bambino 4 ply in Red.
