Just a couple of oddments from me today, nothing like my usual creative focus or intellectual challenge. hahahaha
First off, spring has reached Cape Town! It’s time to unearth my cotton blouses and sleeveless waistcoats:
Second, here is a mirror I made for a certain important person in my life. His reception area is very dull and bleak, and I thought this would cheer things up.
(and you try and take a photo of a mirror without getting your reflection in it!)
Third, thanks to G-Ma Ellen, I discovered this divine crochet pattern for slippers from Mamachee on Etsy:
Fell in love with, ordered, paid, and downloaded! How spectacular is this super-speed techno world of ours! Turns out I have no 6.5mm hook in my tools, so I’m off to Simply Stitches in Pinelands just now. As soon as I finish this post. Oh, and shower and dress.
Finally, get yourselves on over to the Woolhogs Made-It Challenge – the prize for October has been donated by the lovely Rainbow Junkie in the UK. You don’t have to make anything knitted or crocheted, it can be baked, stitched, modelled, painted….the world is your banana. And no, I have no idea what made me write that. Sometimes I’m just silly.
To be continued…
Good Morning Jill!
I love the pictures of you in the mirrors and I really like the vest you are wearing in the first one. Did you make it? I hope you have a wonderful week.
Love and Hugs,
Tamara
I did make it, using 2 strands of dk in a variegated yarn that no-one has ever seemed to like as much as me!
A good week to you, too :-)
Lovely makes Jill! x
Thanks ALison
I like the waistcoat too and the mirror too. Having a mirrored edge is especially clever. Like the problem re photographing mirrors.
and i always seem to take pics of mirrors when i’m in my oldest dressing gown with the torn seam…. :-)
:-) :-) Been experimenting! If you didn’t mind photographing at an oblique angle you could avoid the reflection od course!
I LOVE your waistcoat – you HAVE to make more! Also, the mirror will most certainly put you in Brownie-Point credit!!! Those slippers…..too funky for words!
just back from running errands — totally forgot to buy a 6.5mm hook….argh
Doh!!!!
Jill, you do make me laugh. x
And you me, Jane.

Ooohhh . . . I love them all! :)
I love those slippers – I want some :-)
Is that who I think it is???
Lovin’ the attitude in the first photo!
That’s how I roll …
