CONGRATS AMY ...

The phrase proud mum does not do justice to how i'm feeling. Amy, my daughter, passed her driving test first time this afternoon, with only 3 minor faults. The examiner said it was a fabulous test and congratulated her on her driving skills. She's busy scanning the local newspaper for a secondhand car now, so looks like dads mechanic skills will be put to the test vetting one for her over the next few days. This is just what was needed to give her a boost as she's had some really rough days recently. Her final work for her ceramics exam cannot be found at the college (somehow it has got lost or taken!) so she has to do another piece urgently and another of her items has got broken somehow so that needs to be replaced as well. She's also doing her photography exams and her fine art ones too so there's alot of girlie stress going round in this house right now.

Do i need a straightjacket?

When i knit bunny pieces, i try to make each one different so no two will be the same. As i start to sew them together and stuff them they develop little personalities all of their own and this one was no different. I'd like to introduce you to George. He seemed to look so knowledgeable and grown up for a bunny and i was really pleased he decided to go and live with Carol, she works at a University so he'll certainly not be short of books there LOL
Another one left the UK last Thursday and i've got 2 more in the workbasket to stuff and send this week hopefully, i seem to have done more knitting than stitching this past week

I bet you all think i'm mad as a hatter

LHN SAL ...

Friday yesterday and that means it was Week 4 of the LHN SAL with Karen. I now have a little kitty cat and a bit more fence and made a start on the border. For those of you who thought she was standing under a lampost i added a couple of leaves to make it look more like a tree and next week i'll add the leaves to the left hand branch LOL
