Watson my head?

What do you do when your bloke says he wants a deerstalker? Crochet one, of course!!
Clearly we’ve been watching a lot of Sherlock……

I can't wait for the next series, just can't get enough of the Cumberbatch!
Needless to say, Rob hasn't taken this off yet - I think it's a winner :) xx

Anyone for Prawn Cocktail?

Ok, so it's a little wacky; but I've been seriously into crocheting food recently. After my success with a crochet burger and a box of eggs, I thought a prawn cocktail might be a bit more of a challenge; consisting as they do of many awkward shapes! I'm thrilled with how it came out, I drool every time I walk past it in the kitchen so it can't be far off the real deal! What to do next? A friend has pointed out the blindingly obvious transition to a sushi platter given the success of these prawns..... it would be nice to do something completely different again though. We shall see! :)

End of chilli season 2011.....

Determined to get a head start after a pathetic crop this year (thanks to the erratic weather), I've just taken a secateurs to my babies - now they are all cut back and ready for overwintering. Fingers crossed for a good survival rate!



Hopefully I'll get a good crop of chillies earlier in the season next year, rather than waiting for a whole plant to grow from seed.....that's assuming the plants survive the winter! I've kept 1 x Orange Habanero, 1 x Jamaican Red Hot, 1 x Fatalli, 1 x Cili Goronong and 1 x Criolla Sella. I'm also keeping the 7 Pot White that didn't grow white.

Fingers crossed!!

"I'll have a 'P' please, Bob...."

Let me explain; it is rather amusing...

This morning, I sat at the computer with the leftovers from last night - Cheesy mash and peas. We had it with fish, but I love it just as much on it‘s own. Anyhoo, I digress.
As I sat shovelling said banquet into my face, I caught sight of the black frayed ends of my jumper sleeve through the bottom of the Tupperware container. Believing this to be a spider in my food, I screamed and threw the container up in the air, diving out of my chair and down onto my bum.
Classic. I knew the moment the food left my hand what I had really seen, but by then it was too late; the wheels were in motion... and so too was I. I’ve laughed considerably since, and though it worth sharing; especially when my mate Steve and I decided that I’d “Peed on my keyboard”...
