Cool Bear

 

For a couple of hours I did break my addiction to crocheting motifs and I crocheted a little polar bear instead. This is a pic of Parky at home in the Arctic

I have to admit it was fun putting him together; when you’ve got bodies, heads and limbs lying all over the coffee table it’s sometimes hard to imagine that a little person is going to be born from all of that. I’ve never crocheted a toy before and all thanks to the lovely lady at Yellow Pink and Sparkly for the pattern.

I’m off to have a look at Freeform Crochet now!

Teeny Tiny Space

I could spend hours on YouTube watching all the funny cat videos. I came across this one this morning. I’m constantly amazed how kitties can squeeze themselves into impossibly small spaces and be able to turn around in them.

Of course my ultimate fav. Youtube cat video is the amazing Cravendale Cats with Thumbs. I like the one in the woolly hat and the one reading The Art of Military Strategy. I think that’s the same book as Daisy, my naughty Tortie has been reading. Or perhaps she wrote it -

Chapter One – How to Make Your Significant Owner Cry

1. Pee on her computer

2. Practise projectile vomiting, preferably in her knicker drawer.

Yes she seems to be able to out manouevre me in every one of my attempts to make her behave. This is her on the phone to one of her pals.

Asserting who’s top cat in the household

And in her latest role as a Bond Villain

But I love her anyway xxxxxxx

I have developed a weird addiction to ..........

.....crocheting motifs!  I've recently taken up the crochet hook again and have been crocheting motifs as a form of refresher course. The lovely thing about crochet is that it can be such a portable craft. I just pop a ball of yarn, hook and a couple of A4 sheets of patterns into a spare makeup bag and put it in my bag and voila I've got something to do while having a coffee out, taking a rest on a country walk or waiting in a long queue at the post office. Actually I've never done the last one, but I do have the equipment should I feel the urge. I am trying to wean myself off the motif kick and a little crocheted polar bear is gradually beginning to see the light of day. Will post  a pic when he is fully formed. In the meantime a mug shot of my motifs!

 Forgot to say I like beads as well!
