Duck drop Oct 2011

Wales , Barry Island to be precis..........

For all the Gavin and Stacey fans no explanation will be needed as to why Barri?, but just in case you have not had that pleasure click below.

I'm not sure Nessa slots, should be this close to the photo of Jack Sprat but he's only little so I think he'll forgive me.  

Jack at 18months thought he'd help on the ducklings release date.http://theknittingforartexhibition.blogspot.com/2009/08/crocheted-duckling-trials-continue.html

1st Jack checks the workman ship of my latest duckling , the stitches pass the inspection always attention to detail, just like his father 100%.   

This one should float and be completely clean at the same time, seeing it's made of recycled shower puff.
And hes now ready to release the duckling, set it free.

In the duck pic below the duckling appears to be winking, 
signaling it's readiness to leave the family pack.
A beautiful little beach the sand is white the sea is 
pretty blue and the duck is set down.  
At this point I have to pick up the baby and run, 
whist taking the photos! of course.  

Now that's what I call multi tasking.  

The tide had turned, so wet shoes for me.
And the waves washed in.
The duck tipped.
And washed back in again, chicken.........
The duck chuck

Nothing else for it the duck got chucked, chucked not ducked;-)
kind Gem Lou assisted me here.
Oh well! you cant win them all as they say.
Job done , that left time for the arcades, especially the grabber..........

And look what the arcade had to offer, yet more flipping ducks.

I don't see spots, I see ducks!.(better than dead,people so I wont complain)

Random seems to be the word of the month.

Fabulous
Above one of my newest editions to my knitted art collection. And fabulous it is, I hope you'll agree.

I titled this blog Random things as the weekend just gone, I had a google morning.  If I'm honest, honesty I was googling myself 
(Am I the only one that does this? )  I think not.  

And I found lots of random things.  This is what I still love about the art of crochet and knit there is always something new to inspire me..........

Here are but a few, laugh, inspiration or just to look, you decide.

Article knitting
I used the new search engine on google that when you put in one word.  Knitting, it links you to blogs images etc etc.

Very cleaver and below was the article that had most of these lovely pictures so i borrowed a few and if you have time read the article as its pretty good.

A cuppa may be needed now.

I only recently saw the lady above on a grand designs, a barn conversion of immense proportion's I could find the link but you may fair better than me.

But the reason I'm mentioning this is that I have recently decided that I'm a maxi-ama-list as this couple where , she being half.  They where defiantly an inspiration.

In my 20's I minimised.
In my 30's I recycled,a hell of a lot.
Two years from 40 , my art is a collection of everything that I could possibly use.

My shed /studio is starting to reflect that of a horder;-(
