Welcome to Little Geckos Blogpage: The Toadstool Swap
http://hells-littlegeckos.blogspot.com/2008/06/toadstool-swap.html
The best thing I ever made! Monday, 9 June 2008. At last it is finished and posted. Wendy if you're looking - turn away! I joined a Toadstool Swap organised by LucyKateCrafts. I didn't follow the tutorial. But the general idea is there. I also didn't learn how to do blanket stitch until after I'd finished . . . . The little mouse was a flash of inspiration. I thought to myself I. If the basic premise of a finger puppet - but stuffed - would work? I'm really quite chuffed with him. I hope you like it Wendy.

The best thing I ever made! Tuesday, 20 May 2008. 23 Beech Hill has tagged me :-. 1) What was I doing 10 years ago? Probably something naughty. . . I didn’t settle down until I met DH. I was temping in offices etc in the mornings, college in the afternoon, Bar work 1 night a week and working in a Chinese on a Saturday night. The rest of the time I was staying out, riding motorbikes, drinking too much, pulling unsuitable men! 2 What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order).

The best thing I ever made! Tuesday, 30 September 2008. A blanket for my neice/nephew to be. My brother and his wife are expecting their firstborn in December. exciting stuff! I decided to make a blanket (easy? Buy all 3 and do a stripey blanket (increasing the make time, but hey ho). So here it is in it's 50% finished glory. I need to edge it as the knitting in stripes makes for messy edges (well it does when I do it! So I'm going to make a bigger sized backing blanket and back it and fold the edges ove...

The best thing I ever made! Wednesday, 28 May 2008. It's In The Bag . . . I have finished my knitted bag. It didn't take long to knit it, I didn't take that long to sew it together. What did take ages was the interim period where I just kept looking at it thinking "hmm I really should finish that". This was my first attempt at knitting (well second if you count the matching little purse I did initially - but we won't count that!

Krafty Keely: My Baby's almost a Man
http://kraftykeely.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-babys-almost-man.html
Monday, 14 July 2008. My Baby's almost a Man. It really doesn't feel 2 mins ago that my baby was just that a tiny(well 8lb 5oz) baby. After years of trying and a few miscarriages, both before and after, our son is almost into adulthood. What's brought all this on I hear you ask( I know it's only in my head! The main reason that I felt the need to put pen to paper so to speak was one particular scene where Meryl Streep's character is helping her daughter prepare for her wedding and they sing. One of the t...

Krafty Keely: The Results are in and the Winner is...........
http://kraftykeely.blogspot.com/2008/06/results-are-in-and-winner-is.html
Saturday, 21 June 2008. The Results are in and the Winner is. So the deadline has gone and I prepared for my 1st ever giveaway. Being the sort of person who is incredibly organised I collated the names and printed up labels to write them on. I then retrieved the camcorder to record it on video and the battery was flat! So I have fallen back to old faithful and taken photos. Firstly to show it's a fair draw all of the names prior to folding and putting in the hat. Then pick the one that "felt right".

Only one downside I have to get used to sharing again! I was reading TillyBoo. S blog and she was commenting on how Boo seems to have grown before her eyes so to speak and then I found this video about some of the naughty things our. Has received her cards now so I can post some photos. Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Krafty Keely: Warning but don't be too ALARMED
http://kraftykeely.blogspot.com/2008/07/warning-but-dont-be-too-alarmed.html
Wednesday, 9 July 2008. Warning but don't be too ALARMED. Hi I just wanted to let you know about an experience that has recently unsettled us and thought I would share it with you all. Craig had a call the other evening asking if we had an alarm fitted in our house. The guy calling explained that he was calling from an alarm company and they were looking for a house in our area to give a free alarm to. Any way the guy then asked a number of questions including do we both work full time? Be safe out there!
