Cute isn’t he? Made for mother dearest he stands at around 8 inches tall and will stand unaided. He’s wearing a knitted jacket with “2008″ in intarsia on to the back. I forgot to take a photo of that one.
I’ve decided to give away a similar bear (sans jacket, boy was that a sucker to knit!) for my 100th post celebration. I just have to make it lol. Winner can choose colour and style. So you’ve got a heads up look out for the announcement.
I also made my first lasagne…

It was icky lol. The dish was way too big, doh! Oh well better luck next time.
Hope you all had a Happy Mothers day.

. As she’s about to go she says to me “Do you want banana’s and nut’s in your Christmas stocking?”. Baffled I replied no banana’s or nut’s thanks. Bear in mind I’m allergic to nuts. “Oh” She says “I forgot about the nuts, what’s wrong with banana’s. I have to fill it up with something”. So I ask what’s wrong with satsuma, that’s what we normally get. “Ok” she goes “Don’t roll over on it in your sleep!”. She is so kooky. Speaking of banana’s, I remember one time, when I was about 12, she came running out the kitchen with a banana, drop rolled like James Bond and popped up behind the sofa shooting at us with it. We all just gaped at her open mouthed. Crazy woman. My sister, then aged 4, exclaimed “Someone’s been at the Vimto!”
. For you Americans Vimto is a blackcurrant cordial that used to have adverts with rude rhymes and silly bits in.
. I can’t find a face for my doll. I think she should have big eyes but the buttons just don’t look right. Embroidery is not my forte so I don’t think that’s the way to go either. I don’t want to mess up her head. I’m thinking some felt disks may be the way to go so add that to my shopping list. As for a mouth… I always think mouths on fabric dolls look odd. I dunno, I think she looks lovely as is and don’t want to spoil her!
I already put up the Christmas tree bar the lights and star. I wasn’t expecting to be home this weekend. So just the lights for the windows (The kind that fade in and out) and the ceiling decorations (My paper stars) to do.
