"The Journey of the Camper Van"

Well its been fun trying my hand at all this making malarkey. since I last blogged I've got new coloured glasses which are wonderful, I'm able to read faster and spot spelling errors far more than previously so although it was an expense purchasing my Cerium coated dyslexic glasses it really was worth it. its even improved my knitting, I'm making less mistakes because I'm NOT reading the same line over!

Jar Floffle

So my first make of the week was another  "jar floffle" made for my Hubby to put in our recording studio. Wilde Rose Studio.

Since Jinian is a Singer/Vocalist working from home were able to open up his work Studio offering people the chance to have there Singing Experience professionally recorded by someone who has had lots of experience of  the music industry (inc. Chart Hits). Anyway i digress >>> shame theses glasses cant stop my waffle!



 It was also Jinian's Birthday this week, so I made a card from odd bit's of paper....a few years ago I made cards, amongst other things but all my equipment is now stored away in the loft so i made a very basic card with very limited equipment but it was made with love :)




I also knitted a Sheep for my Far away Nephew "Ryan". He has always been Sheep Bonkers, so I decided I'd try to knit him one.
It came out wonderful (with the exception of my sewing) so before being sent on an all inclusive trip to Lancaster to be with his new owner i decided to take Sheep out on a day trip.

 Now you are probably thinking I am mad, and maybe you are right. So sheep is now winging his way to Ryan.

I also started a new knitting project, as I'm unable to make rings and things at the moment (my fingers are splitting due to wire work)....I feel a digression occurring >>>>> A few months ago I thought I'd find a hobby so I had a friend Meany-Jar who was selling a jewelry making kit, I got it and fell in love with making things and buttons. Since then I've started knitting. I usually have such trouble switching off but when I get "crafty" I have head peace :). I'm a student studying Psychotherapy, it can be quite intense. Often I will become so engrossed with thinking that I "thunk it" all to bits, but when I make things I switch off for a while. My life has balance.

 As I was saying, before I so bloody annoyingly interrupted myself, I'm mid way through Knitting a "camper van" it is so cute, I cant wait for it to be finished...but I also don't want it to be finished because I'm enjoying "The Journey". Anyhow it will be a wonderful Door stop once completed.

*UPDATE*
And complete it Now is, it took me five days of on/off knitting. This camper van was knitted in three bits (the two sides were sewn onto the middle piece which is one long bit). It's the third thing I've knitted so far and I think it looks great, what do you think?

 I also found some amazing Buttons which will look cool on the

 van as wheels. they are wooden but have a print on them, and as soon as my hands are better I will be making some funky bracelets and necklaces with them.

Well thanks for taking the time to stop by, I'd love a few more followers so feel free to Join me on "The Journey of the Camper Van".

The Balance of Knitted sanity & Dog fart!

Well its been a busy week or two but in between the chaos i have managed to make a few things, partly as a avoidance tactic from an assignment i had to complete as well as a distraction from a death anxiety..that I'm not even aware of having! i think it helps keep the balance between my heavy work load of psychoanalytical babel and creativity, enabling me to be reasonably sane .......mostly.



 Anyway what ever the reason i am absolutely loving making things, its the only thing i have for me, something i do not have to share :) except with my lovely Grandson "Ryley", who helps  organize my lovely Button collection...great times :).

It would seem I'm really good at making useless things, so I've made 4 knitted hearts, some flowers for my lamp,some knitting bunting (on going project) 1 granny square (more to follow) and a Button tiara...i have so many idea's in my head i don't know where to begin really...i have an idea for some wall art and some knitted greeting cards. i also plan to do some weaving (not physically of course!) anyway heres a few photos of my crafty moments of this past week.

 So I’m on a bit of a mission really to try as many crafty makes as I can…sadly I can’t sew, so if it needs sewing I often make a mess of it but practice makes perfect.

Talking of sewing, our young Dog Indi, needs her bum sewn up, she has some serious fart issues that I feel needs addressing, it’s so bad even SHE moves away from them! Obviously when you’re sat,  midway through a complex knitting maneuverer you can’t up and leave so often I’m sat there needles in hand, in a cloud of what can only be described as toxic gas.

Well thanks for taking the time to pop by. x
