FO Friday 27/01/12

I'd like to say a big hello FO Friday

Negative: Still got my viral throat infection
Positive: I've been given numbing spray so I can eat without being in pain
The best ever positive: I got the most fantastic parcel delivered to my house!

During December Kathryn at:
Had 31 fantastic giveaways!
I was lucky enough to win 3 of them!!!!!
If you haven't visited the site please do it is a fantastic site that offers so much!
One of the prizes was supplied by BearyAnn www.prayerfullyhandmade.com

I was feeling a bit down after having my throat infection for so long
The fatigue has really kicked in and the house looks like a bomb has hit it.
Then I saw a van park up outside my house!
If I had the energy I would of jumped up and down.

I was so excited opening up the box and it was even better when I opened it up.


The bag is fantastic, I love the tapemeasure handles


Looking inside was better than Christmas


Fantastic books and magazines


Beautiful yarn and more books :-)


More beautiful yarn!

and a cute little tape measure

I just don't know what I am going to make with all this yarn and which book to choose something from first :-)

Back to FO Friday:

Here is the secret image finished :-)


My five year old son wanted me to make a bag for his girlfriend
It's his first ever girlfriend so who am I to say no.
If they don't stay together to Valentines day I know of a couple
of other little girls who would love this bag.


I used a Tunisian Crochet knit and purl stitch
I don't think it's too bad for my first go
Please go and see the other things that have been made by other fantastic crafters;

  8. Oh Susan what a fab surprise to drag your mind out of the nasty virus!!
    I adore your Tunisian collar/ cape!
    And it is sooo sweet that you made the bag for your son's girlfriend (even if the romance doesn't last :)
    My son is 6, and it is the greatest of appraisals of my work when he sees something I made (and he likes) he says: Will you make one for Daria? (Daria is his girlfriend )So cute!

  9. We went to the shops today and Ryan bought her a chocolate rose to go with the bag. I wanted him to get a heart lollipop to fit in the bag but he decided it had to be a rose. We don't do anything for valentines day so I don't know where he has learnt all about it. Very sweet.
    Thank you all for your kind comments. I still haven't decided what I'm going to make first :-)
