Okay a teaser trailer pic of what I am working on but no more until I have finished! I think it looks a complete mess at the moment but I can see where it is coming together First things first the picture I chose: and the cross stitch guide and the er.. aida canvas picture wooow!!! I am doing a crossstitch of my budgies too! I sent in a photo of Imzi and Huckles to a cross stitch company and they sent me a cross stitch pack. I haven't touched it in a while but I really should get started. This is looking amazing! You are so talented!

Thank you Hezz Well I did want to crochet them one of my pieces I have become known for (there is even one that lives in Japan)! It is Gigi the Giraffe: But as I have tendinitis in both shoulders and am attending physio it is too painful to crochet at the moment! But (thankfully) I can do other things like drawing and cross stitch I will post a sample of my cross stitch later as it is quite a big piece and taking me a while. I did start it but was asked to do many projects for others but am back on it again. Some of you may remember we talked about it here with Hezz 's beautiful Zebra Finches piece This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I so wish I could crochet, where or how did you learn to crochet? Also is this difficult to make? I really wanted to try making a cute donkey- Arigurumi crochet patterns. A friend of mine who can do both crochet and knitting found crochet patterns harder to read, however, that is her opinion and I am sure it can go either way. Gigi the giraffe is gorgeous. It would make a perfect gift for a new baby.

If you go to The Crochet Crowd website and Facebook they do tutorials on everything and are very good and easy to follow. It is run by Diva Dan and Mikey, they are so funny at times. You can find them on YouTube as well

A member of our family Jill, sadly had her mum pass away recently. As it is Jill's birthday this weekend (and she is horse MAD) I thought I would send her a personalised card for her birthday: Birthday Card
