Predictably Absent

I love the idea of having a blog.  A place to document the things that are going on with me, that I can look back on and have a permanent reminder of things that have mattered to me.

However, I am notoriously flighty!  I have the concentration of a hover fly, moving from one thing to the next quicker than you can say Jack Spratt!!  And so predictably I began this blog in November 13, and here we are in May 14, and I have only just remembered about it!

Well, that's a fib, I didn't remember.  I had this great idea that I should start writing a blog and when i came onto blogger I discovered that I had already had that idea....... in November!! LOL

So what have I been up to?

Well crochet wise things have taken an unexpected but exciting twist.  I was asked if I could do a crochet class for our local autism support group.  Well I have taught a few people to crochet one on one but never a whole lot at once.  With that horribly flippy feeling in my tummy I agreed to do it.  And I have to say it has been FANTASTIC!  I am loving it.  It is once a fortnight and it's a wee bit erratic (we now have 17 in the class all at different stages) but I am getting a real buzz from deciding what we will learn and making them up their wee packs so they have a back up when they get home and can't remember one word I've said.

I have been busy on the crocheting front too.  Three new arrivals, all boys!  My best friend from school and my neighbour both had bouncing baby boys in February, and another of my school friends became a granny for the second time in March.  A Granny???  Scares the life out of me that I am of an age where I am biologically old enough to be a grandmother! LOL

I made them all a baby blanket.  I only took a photo of the last one I finished (I'm not good at this recording melarky) but I can't upload it just yet as it's stuck on my phone.

I have also been crocheting myself a poncho for the camping season, something to enable me to sit round the fire for a wee bit longer before freezing! LOL

I'm now moving on to something a little smaller, a little lamb for my daughter.  When I have him complete I will try to post some photos up.

Hopefully I will remember about this blog and pop back in! LOL
