Tangled up in Blue.....

....and red and yellow and green ..... and every other colour you could imagine....HELP!

.....good job I can knit and crochet....

....what can I say?....I`ve been rather busy of late....

.....but just sometimes, I get it very,very wrong.....as in `the hat that grew and grew`!....

...as ably demonstrated by my pal, Al...although, I somehow think he was rather extracting the Michael so I`m sure he won`t mind his mug being ably spread around the WWW just to prove the point that my hat was even too big for his head!

.....and as a complete diversion, my kindly postman has been delivering pleasant packages from best blogging buddies.....

...including....

.........from Betty@BettytheWoodFairy

......which of course prompted some more crocheting!!...

..Thank You for thinking of me, Betty....

.....and the other package from Shaz@TheShabbyChicBohemian contained one of her beautiful ATC`s which I won in her recent giveaway.......

....isn`t it just so pretty?Want another look?....

... I love geishas so I`ll find a pretty frame to keep it in....and Shaz also sent me some lovely wool she was destashing....

....luscious crushed velvet...how decadent!I`ve got plans for that!...Thanks you so much Shaz.

Well,think that`s enough for now but would love to hear what you`re all creating and planning for the Festive Season.....back to being busy for me....

Ciao for Now xxx

ps I`ve had to take Google Chrome off my laptop because it was taking up too much room so I`m unable to comment on those blogs which don`t have a pop-up comment box - daft Blogger - ....I`m not ignoring you, honestly! I`ve put a request in to Santa .....hope he comes up trumps for me, nothing snazzy required, no bells and whistles....reconditioned is fine by me!

....And at the Going Down of the Sun....

.....we will remember them....

and lest we do forget, here is a contemporary look at how the act of keeping peace in the World hasn`t changed much historically. I`ll let my good friend, Maranda, a brave and beautiful Military Wife whose young and handsome husband has just been deployed to Afghanistan, explain....

Tick Tock........

......good grief, is that the time already?!! It doth fly from month-to-month, doth`nt it?... and before you know it, Hello November...

...with its stonking sunrises...

..... and we`re all once more on the Festive Season fastrack, hurtling along at infinite speed!This year, I've decided it's going to be a 'Handmade' Christmas....but only little things like hats,scarves and cowls or fingerless gloves because not everyone likes to wear....

(?!)......or

....now that is SCARY!(talking about the sweater, obviously!)...

....although these are a tad nicer to look at...

....the sweaters,the sweaters!!!!!

So if you fancy having a go at handcrafted gifts, you may find this video extremely helpful.....

.....and that`s because it`s `extreme` knitting but quite frankly, I couldn`t stop laughing long enough to have a go.....but I know someone who did....

......well I suppose it must seem on the same scale when you have tiny little hands!.....

.....and tiny little feet in snazzy new boots....must get myself some to march out that evaporating time to!

Hope you all have a good weekend, however you`re spending it.
