I see a Rainbow

Here is another fabulous backyard photo from the Curly One. I am sitting here right now listening to these very noisy Rainbow Lorikeets squabbling over spring nectar, there is more than enough for all of them I'm sure! Below is a photo I took 3 days ago while hanging out the washing, this guy was all puffed up squawking to try and keep hold of his territory. He spotted me up on a wall poking the lens of my camera over the fence and he wasn't pleased and I missed out on a good photo unlike Curly One's beautiful shot. She'll be annoyed and embarrassed that I blogged her photo but I am just envious and wish that I had taken it. Humble apologies Curly One! Click on the above photo to really appreciate the beauty of these gorgeous birds.

Curly one crochets

She really has become a "crochet monster" in the last 4 days. While I'm at the beginning of my crochet learning curve the Curly One has been going one step further and hand felting her items with fabulous results. Her girls don't even think the iPod sleeves are too daggy to use! I think they are just great and the gadget won't even slip out and crash to the ground resulting in cracked screens...........but the teenagers will find a way to damage them eventually. The clutch purse is gorgeous made from a variegated Naturally Vero 100% wool. Well done Curly One, you know who you are. Forget about cleaning keep crocheting you're a natural.

Rippling along

Here is todays progress. I know I'm not the fastest crocheter in blogland but I'm having a go and that is all that is important. I have to say crochet is very enjoyable when you have mastered a couple of stitches and I can see it has a high addiction possibility. One of my girlfriends has turned into a "crochet monster" since we had a little time together on Friday. The Curly One has rediscovered the joys of crochet and it's felting potential, lucky she's on long service leave!
