    Lovely to see you this morning, just returned from a few days in Cornwall. A lovely time but not a glimpse of sun - wind and rain courtesy of Storm Kathleen! I did manage to get quite a bit of crafting done, thanks to the rain…. It can stop now though, if only it would! What a beautiful hand - so pleasing when everything works out. Take care

    We have something else in common. I was 28 and my mom 51 when she passed away. And my dad’s sister and I are very close since. She says I am her favorite child over her three biological children. We craft together. She is an avid sewist and I am not, but we both crochet, both learned from her mother, my grandmother. We text each other every day. She lives a 4 hour drive away, but I see her 4 or 5 times a year.

    I‘m knitting the Minijumper too. Starting in 2021, I only finished 5 or 6 Jumpers. But now I try to do more. Maybe the numbers of the adventssundays.

    Lovely to catch up with you, Jeanette. It’s funny, but I seem to have had a long knitting phase and not doing much crochet - but I guess we always just go with the flow of whatever takes our fancy! I’m just back from another campervan trip and we managed to coincide with Storm Kathleen on the south west coast of Scotland!!! Oh my, I have never experienced such high winds before. Needless to say, I had plenty to keep me busy while we stayed cosy in the van! A big well done for your beautiful crocheted hand for Beatrix Potter!!! xx

      Fortunately storm Kathleen wasn’t to bad here in the north but having said that it hasn’t stopped raining for what seem like months. I’m ready for summer that’s for sure.
      I hope you enjoyed your trip in the van and that storm Kathleen didn’t disrupt your plans to much. Xxxx

    I have the pattern for the emotional support chicken too (wonder how many patterns have been sold), my daughter bought it for me in lieu of an Easter egg (well, I still got an egg). All I have to do now is find some suitable yarn 😉I don't crochet so I'm looking forward to seeing your crocheted chicken.
    Please will you send some of your rain to S,Australia? the earth is just like dust. Some part of Australia however are having dreadful flooding - this is such a massive country. I always think of the poor animals that are trapped when these events happen especially when there is no warning.

    Your chicken is so cute. I've finished 1 crochet one. The pattern is a bit confusing, the way it's written, but I powered through and made notes, so I'm good to go on the next one, which I've started.

      @craftycleggscreations Each row instruction for the tail is really 2 rows. Also, you do not stitch into the top of the slip stitches, but you do drop down and stitch into the bottom of where you did the stitch. Hope this makes sense and helps you.

    Hello Jeanette - thanks for a super podcast - I was very excited to see your Wood Pigeon socks especially! I’ve found a place here in Australia that stocks WYS and I ordered some and it’s on its way - we can be matchy matchy😊 I understand that it must be hard for you with your precious auntie moving but try and look on the bright side - an hour and a half is such a short distance! When we were driving around the UK we could hardly believe how close places were. As we live in Tasmania, the little island state of Australia we need to either fly to the mainland or drive 3 hours to the ferry at Devonport, sleep overnight on what can be a very rough stretch of water and then set off. A few years ago 2 of our children were living in Sydney - 9 hours straight (without stopping) from Melbourne to Sydney along the Hume Highway - which goes through quite unexciting countryside - usually quite dry and 40 degrees last time we did it!! It’s probably not always that bad and all of Australia is beautiful but I’m trying to cheer you up😉 hugs from Elizabeth xx

    For your garden, what about lifting the turf and putting a few easy to grow shrubs in? If you think about areas in shopping area car parks/council owned areas, that’s what they do ‘cos it’s the easiest to look after. A path or a few stepping stones, perhaps a bench on some slabs to sit and enjoy it? Bark chips to keep it all looking neat and tidy, could look lovely 😁

    Hello Jeanette, I know exactly how you feel about selling the house. We sold up last year and I can't drive by the old house. We lived there for 42 years and have moved to the country. I really love where we are living away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia but it was my home where I brought up my four daughters. I also visited my daughter in the UK for six weeks and have been back in Australia for a couple of weeks and I miss her so much. I didn't realise how much time I am missing out on seeing her and my grandsons, it is taking me a little while to get motivated again. I need your emotional chicken right now. Katies mittens are lovely and the colour is gorgeous. I love all your makings and I love listening to you. You make me smile Jeanette. I have that pooh bear pattern it came out yesterday.
