eegads!! another post & the flu

My second post, wonders will never cease. I thought I created this on a whim, a spur of the moment sort of thing, but here I am writing again. Actually, I want to thank Louise from lululollylegs. (sorry I don't know how to create a html link) I was inspired to start after reading hers, so "thanks Louise".



I've had the flu (again). This year year I've had a bad dose of the flu 3 times all in the last 6 months. I don't know what I have to do to stop getting it. I'm tired of feeling achey, tired well you know how it goes. On the plus side I got to sleep for 2 days.





I did get to the Whittlesea Show. The weather was good. I was sick but I still enjoyed it. Himself spent most of his time looking at trackors and talking to the trackor guys while I spent my time in the craft hall. There were some amazing pieces. I wanted to take photos in there but I wasn't sure if I should, also there would have been glare off the glass surrounding the exhibits. When I can I'll add the photos I took. I didn't take many, but some.



On the craft front, I've started taking apart some jeans I bought at the garage sale at $1 a pair. Also from the sale I bought an overlocker for $50, a wooden shelf $2 with A4 sized compartments on it, a rabbit hutch $20. I think there was something else but I can't remember what it is. I think it was a computer monitor for free.

Also crafty, I'm trying a new (to me) crochet stitch, it's called 'lemon peel'. It's very simple stitch, which I like, it's a double crochet then a treble. It goes long like that. I want to make squares and make them all into a baby blanket.
The jeans I mentioned earlier are going to be turned into BBQ aprons and bags. I have heaps of vintage buttons so I think I might decorate the bags with them. I wish I could get this picture thing happening then I could show you what I mean.



I'm signing off as I'm still not feeling well and I can't concentrate anymore.
