Snug as a bug in a Cowl ......

And here it is all finished, 

And on...

was a simple enough stitch, although i've done it a bit big and it hangs lower than i would like, but that can be adjusted.

Not bad for a first attempt i think :)

I do love my big flowers :)


And now.....

On with some granny squares for my blankie 

Current Crafty projects :)


As part of my weight loss program i struggle alot with evenings and snacking, so i've taken up knitting and crochet again, more so crochet so far, but im sure there will be knitting in the future.

yes i knit and crochet and no im not 80 - actually im 27 years young.

So a couple of pics of my latest crafty projects.

This is an ongoing project, i use the small amounts of wool/yarn i have left over, i was going to do all stripes, but have decided to go patch work and add in some rows of granny squares...... and whatever else i can think of to "mix it up" a bit...

This is the 1st of many, they are large squares but nice and quick to make up..

And my latest one, this will be a cowl  with a large, a very large flower, hopefully it will come out looking as i have in my head.
The shell stitch is a new one to me, you gotta love youtube for that.


I am completely self taught in both knitting and crochet, of which i am very proud!!


Please feel free to comment, and or leave suggestions for my throw/blanket 

Going for weight loss **GOAAAAL**

So this is it, its has been decided......

No more messing around, no more sneaking about

DIET..... BRINNNG IT OOOOOOOON!!!!!!


I have been constantly battling with my weight for pffft too long. Ive used every single excuse in the book, to name a few:

* Its harder for me to loose this weight as all 3 of my children were c-sections.
* I'll start tomorrow
* that's it I'm defo starting this weight loss for good this time
* I can only do a little as i have kids
* I cant eat diet food as I'm on a budget
* ahh but its the weekend, I'll be good again on Monday
* but i love food



So this is it, I've removed those rose tinted glasses and im moving on!! and upwards (well feeling wise, weight wise i want dooownwards)

Im very lucky to have a lovely man who supports the fatty me and the skinny me.

My struggle is going to be keeping the weight off. I tend to fluctuate not in a couple of pounds but in half stones
:O i know

So lets do this, its gonna be hard but im sure i'll get there.

Blogger readers .... beware there may be some serious ranting going on.
