Poor me.

Sorry that I have not blogged for a few days!
What have I been up to?
Well, I have hurt my knee.
I don't know how seriously yet. I have to wait for an MRI.
All I know is it doesn't feel very stable and my Physio is predicting a long haul ahead.
So... hurt knee... put your feet up... do plenty of reading, craft, blogging...
Ha!
Life goes on and everything just takes a bit longer, so I am getting behind with all the things I have on my "To Do" list!

So, you want to know how I hurt my knee?
Really... do I have to tell you?
OK but don't tell anyone because it's a bit embarrassing.

I thought it would be a good idea to be a volunteer parent  helper at the High School Athletics carnival. Right? Right.

I thought it was a good job I was allocated to do, helping organise kids to throw the Javelin. Right? Right.

I thought it was good how the teacher was explaining to the novice kids how to throw the Javelin. Right? Right.

I thought I would throw the Javelin to show them, seeing as I used to be a pretty good Javelin thrower in my younger years. Right? Maybe.

I thought I would give a second demo with the next group, and maybe this time I would make my Javelin actually stick in the ground. Right? WRONG!!!!!!

I was not trying to be a hero, so I was concentrating on not hurting my shoulder.  What I didn't think about was the huge twist involved when throwing a big stick through the air. The full force of that twist  zoning in on my left knee.

Ouch. Crunch. (think of pulling a chicken leg apart)

Anyway, I will spare you all the details.

I'll keep you posted although they will be pretty boring blog posts. Sorry!

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b...

Lantern making... a craft for kids

By

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
