Such fun and excitement

Hello bloglanders.

I've had a crafty week. Tuesday was Embroiderers' Guild and I tried some laminating. Such fun! (Oh dear have I been watching Miranda again)!  He he he.




Don't know what I will make it into, but it will turn into a something. It's about 4" by 2 1/2 ".

Thursday at crochet class we looked at broomstick lace crochet. It's fun to do and grows fast.






 If you don't have a handy broom to hand you can also use a large knitting needle (20mm)



or even a ruler.

It forms an interesting pattern and would make a lovely evening wrap.

Next week is the last one of this course, will miss it so am looking around for other venues.

Thursday was an interesting day, had a car incident on my way to see friends in the afternoon and had to use my breakdown service. As I was stopped in a vulnerable place this also involved the police with their flashing blue lights. Expensive for me as I now have to get a new tyre. But it is the only time to have happened to me in all my years of being a car owner, so I shouldn't grumble, and no one was hurt.

  1. A week of high jinx! Can't wait to see what you make with your laminate.

    There's nothing worse that your car letting you down. Glad it ended well.

    Have a great week

  2. Sorry to hear of your car trouble but glad everything turned out okay. Your broomstick crocheting looks very interesting - I've never tried it - and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your lovely laminated piece - another new craft to keep you busy! Hope your weekend is going well, hugs, Joy x

    1. Thank you Joy, I can see a laminator is on my list of things I would like. Was great fun sorting out the bits and pieces and the anticipation of what it would come out the other side as. I'd like to try with leaves and flowers.

    1. Hi Chrissie, yes give it a go. The first row is a bit tricky but after that it's a doddle.
