Tryin' the Hooky-thing!

One rainy summer in my teenage years, my mother decided that learning to crochet would be an invaluable skill which my girlfriend and I needed to learn.  So we spent weeks cooped up in our cabin by the lake, learning to make granny squares...or rather one LARGE granny square....in the form of a seventies poncho.  Now my girlfriend took to crochet more than I did ...and I am sad to say I have done precious little of it since those days.  Well...take a look....

Decided to have a go at those squares!

Very satisfying to see those little piles growing!

I've decided it will be a queen-sized blanket....hmmm...

Christmas in February!!

Well hello!!  I see I've not managed to keep my blog very up-to-date...probably earning me one of those "bad-blogger"  or "no-post" blogger titles!...But I am resolved to get back at it!

Please don't eat me!!!
So Christmas has come...and gone...and we enjoyed a traditional BOUCHE NOEL...a cake rather like a jelly-roll...with a very decadent cream filling (chocolate in our case).  It is always in the shape of a fallen log...and I made some little marzipan wood-land creatures to play hide and seek on it!
