mmm

OK....I am looking for help here....if I sign in with my OLD email I come to this blog (and of course THIS email will cease to be shortly)
I find that I can sign in with my NEW email but it takes me to my new blog and I don't know how to direct my followers to the new blog.
If I continue to blog on here, will I still be able to even after my email is defunct?...any help welcome....???

grrr

well firstly let me apologise to all those who are following my blog. We are quitting ntl (too long and complicated to go into) SO i have changed my email address.....I did that and when I tried to sign in to my blog, it said that my password was incorrect (with my new email)...so I clicked to retrieve it and it said that my EMAIL was incorrect....no matter what I do it will not give me access....the only reason I am here right now, is using my ntl email and old password but as soon as we pull the plug on ntl I will not be able to access this blog,......
I have tried everything but nothing works....sooo
I am very sorry folks...but I am going to disappear into the ether.....
I even tried to set up another blog but google won't let me.....if anyone knows of another place to start a new blog...please send me a message through my folksy shop

to everyone else....good selling....

Saturday

well I have had to change my password to access my blog....but I will also need to change my email address soon, so might have the same problem again soon....BUT at least I am able to blog today.
Got some lovely cherry coloured yarn today...so tomorrow I shall start a new project....late now so time for me to go to bed....zzzzzzzzzzzz

Thursday

LOL....I bought one of those polystyrene wig blocks to use for putting hats and scarves on to make them look better in my folksy shop.....

It looked very dull and boring, so I painted a face on it.....now it looks like something from Star Trek !!!!...perhaps I should buy her a wig. My husband has named her Jacqueline....not sure why!!

At least it will be a bit different.....lol.....

I have just finished a baby set, jacket bloomers and a hat....I will try to get photos taken early next week. I am not very good at taking pictures and I usually have to take at least 20 just to find ONE decent one.........it often takes me long to get photos done, than to make the item....never mind I have Jacqueline now...I am sure she will help....lol...(perhaps I should get a Jack !!??)

this is a tiny waistcoat that is listed in my folksy shop http://www.folksy.com/shops/teabreaks

It would look lovely over a pretty summer dress or pair of trousers......

Of course it is made in my favourite purles and mauves.....what else...lol

We have workmen here today, taking down our old conservatory and putting up a new one. How come when the old one is falling down, it is taking them SO long to demolish it?...strange that ...lol

Tuesday

just finished this little baby cardigan. I don't usually use other people's patterns, mostly design my own but this lady has some really pretty baby patterns which i bought.....credit then to Heather Davidson for this one. Heather sells her patterns and allows people to make them up for sale...which is what I shall be doing with this one.

Hopefully it will be in my folksy shop some time next week.

Monday

this piece of crochet is the piece that I designed for the freeform crochet challenge. Each member made a piece and every piece was photographed and then put into a book which was sold for charity. As a person who loves purple, I just had to include purple in my piece...It was great fun to do. Although it doesn't show up very well, the darker pieces were in a glittery yarn and most of the circles were made from the elusive bullion stitch that so many crocheters find difficult.....

A beautiful day today and I need to go and take more picture to list items in my folksy and etsy shops.....

Sunday

well, I have spent most of the day trying to change my email address on the groups that I belong to .....etsy and folksy were easy but Paypal and ebay were very complex and caused a lot of hassle....never mind,...it is all done now....
Back to my crochet.....hopefully I will post some more pictures tomorrow......sigh.....

I have made another little dolly cot bag...this tiny crocheted bag, turns inside out and becomes a drawstring bag....and comes complete with a tiny doll......one like this, is already available in my folksy shop and I will be adding this one shortly....

I am glad to be home from my holiday and back to my crochet......

Friday

well...home at last.....
We spent five days in Yorkshire and despite visiting lots of different places, I was disappointed that I never found a single ball of yarn.....nor could I find any buttons.....
we walked and walked and had to get up early every day for Breakfast, so I am glad to come home for a nice rest....nothing like your own bed..........and now I can reopen my etsy and folksy shops and get listing again. Holidays are lovely but I miss my crafting.
Hope to list more items this weekend

Friday

well this is the last post until Saturday
......off on a few trips out and about. My kids are staying home and looking after the house (they are grown ups )....we are going to York for a few days on a coach holiday....wish I could take my crochet with me...but I will find some nice yarns and ideas while we are away.
I have started more cowl neck scarves and some beanie hats for when I come back, so watch this space.......
It is hot today and the sea is sparkling....Devon is just about visible from my window but there is a lot of heat haze out there.
Dh just bought me a nice cuppa , so I will enjoy that....
followers, please don't desert me...i shall be back next weekend with lots of ideas and info....

Thursday

Here is one of my freeform purses.....it is made from a mixture of yarns and fibres and is soft and scrunchie. It has a dc (sc to the US) lining.

I have this listed in my folksy shop

http://www.folksy.com/shops/teabreaks

I love doing freeform crochet because there are no patterns and you just choose a yarn and go in whichever direction you feel like. It is also a way of using some of the smaller balls of yarn that fibre artists accumulate !!

It has just started to rain....nothing new for the UK

here is a little girl's first shopping bag....it is made in a glazed cotton which I think is synthetic....(someone gave me the yarn...so I have to guess!!)

The bag is about 7" square (ish)...and I hope to list it in my folksy shop at the end of next week.

It was fun to make because it is full of pretty Spring colours .

It is nice outside again today and the sea is sparkling....in fact there is a heat haze over the sea and Devon has disappeared !! I need to get my hook working and making more items. I am going to stock pile things for the Christmas rush...says me...living in hope.....only 6 months away you know !...why is it that the winter drags and the summer rushes by?????

Time for a nice cuppa......

Tuesday

well here is what I have been busy making today. I also made a purple one both of which will be listed in my shops soon. I won't list until the first monday in July because my pc is going to have some work done on it and I don't want people trying to buy and wondering why it hasn't been posted.This is a cowl neck moebius scarf which can be just worn around the neck or even pulled up over the head like a hoodie....

In the winter time, I make them in all colours and I am already thinking of making them and stock piling them ready for the hoped for Christmas rush....The price will hopefully just be £5 plus p&p which I hope is a reasonable price. The one in the picture is in a soft and pretty cream coloured acrylic....... I have lots of other items that I have made this week, all waiting to be photographed ready for listing....

Monday

well Folksy are replacing my listing fees for the cardigan that the person didn't want to buy, so that is good. I managed to make another dolly cot bag which I will list in a few days.....this one is in cream and navy.
I also finished another cream moebius cowl neck scarf/neckwarmer.
Now I need to sort out my stash again so that I can see what to make next......
I shall be missing on here next week as I am having my pc overhauled......so if you are reading this , please don't desert me..missing from next Monday and .I will be back next Saturday....in the mean time....back to my crochet......

Sunday

not a happy bunny today.....I had an email to say that someone had bought the cardi that I showed a picture of on Friday...I was thrilled....
then i got an email to say that the person concerned was only showing a friend how to use folksy and that they hadn't completed the transaction....so NOW as well as the disappointment, I have to relist it and possibly pay another listing fee for it.
aaaargh......

Saturday

Had a nice lie in this morning and then sorted out some yarns. My next project will be a granny square handbag....not sure what size it will turn out yet so it might be for a little girl...we will have to see. I have some pretty yarn in spring colours that will look nice.
I might not be able to start it until tomorrow as we are having friends round this evening....
It is a lot more cloudy today but still warm....
I hope everyone else is having a nice weekend

today I finished the circles cardigan that I was making.....and I managed to take pictures and get it listed in my folksy shop....

I had to undo the bands twice because I didn't like them.....took a while , but I would rather that they were well done and looked nice. Second best isn't good enough for me.....

I also went to town and got some more yarn...I need it like a hole in the head but the shop was like a magnet....come in and buy....come in and buy....lol....so I DID !!!!!

here is the link to my folksy shop

Thursday

well I finished the new baby cardigan but I didn't like the bands on it, so I unpicked them and redid them...oh the joys of designing your own things......often they don't work out quite right and you have to change what you have done.
I have now sorted out my yarns ready for my next project which will be a purple moebius neck scarf......watch this space.
I hope to get some pictures of the cardigan done soon and then it will be listed in my folksy shop
