Malik's farewell party

Had a lovely time last night at Malik's off to Afghan party. He was in very good spirits and is looking forward to his first tour of duty. Pics are herehttp://public.fotki.com/nattynetty/all-my-photos/maliks-farewell-party/

Malik's farewell party

Tonight my sister is having a party for my nephew Malik who's off to Afghanistan in a couple of weeks. It's going to be such a worrying time for us all, but he's worked so hard to get to where he is today and is living his dream so we must give him all our support. Please God keep him and all his comrades safe. He'll be gone for 7 months but hopefully it'll pass quickly. I made him a teddy bear mascot to take with him. I wasn't sure he would want to take it but he assures me he will and he'll take some photo's of his bear whenever he can. I'm hoping for one of him with the whole platoon and maybe one on an army vehicle! Here is the teddy and may he keep our boy safe ♥

New Granny Square

Snow today

It snowed a lot this morning and I managed to get a few pics in before it turned to rain and washed it all away (as usual) :(

Bearded hat

Well I made the bearded hat from the fabulous pattern that I posted the link to yesterday. Here it is and my model is a boy doll my Mum bought and gave me last Christmas. I think she thought he would make a great surrogate Grandchild for me because I'm desperate for one. My kids are so mean! I love how it turned out anyway. Not sure there's a market for them though :/

Crocheted Sock Monkey

I've just finished making this cheeky little monkey. I crocheted it from a fabulous pattern on this very talented lady's blog. Love it! It would make a great little mascot for a Tangerine supporter.

Bearded hat

I just HAVE to make one of these. Next project coming up :)
