When visiting her one day recently, we finished up colouring with watercolour pencils and the result was a little notebook, simple but effective! I was quite pleased with it, but I was thrilled with my next sorte into the world of Crafts.. A gift box basket! I would not have believed it possible. It was thanks to Helen and her booking me a place on a craft morning with herself and her friends. I was in shock when I saw what we were going to make, having expected just to be producing a card! Due to the kindness and patience of the other ladies present, I managed to make something just as good as the demonstration model, to look at anyway.. Hope you agree? It is even better in the flesh, or should that be in the card...<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6886428537365336559-2646743133847587116?l=pattycakesmakes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05132195292845596004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886428537365336559.post-49541141493758330692009-06-14T04:09:00.000-07:002009-07-25T05:11:09.132-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I6-84wmC-0w/SjTfq0wL5TI/AAAAAAAAADk/C8etYyC2tVs/s1600-h/032.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I6-84wmC-0w/SjTfq0wL5TI/AAAAAAAAADk/C8etYyC2tVs/s400/032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347144584403871026" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6-84wmC-0w/SjTfqiVdhVI/AAAAAAAAADc/AnuPGsqY4Ds/s1600-h/033.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6-84wmC-0w/SjTfqiVdhVI/AAAAAAAAADc/AnuPGsqY4Ds/s400/033.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347144579459941714" border="0" /></a>Hi my name is Patty and this is my first post on my blog. I would never have dreamed I would be doing this three years ago when my daughter first gave me some needles and wool as she thought I might enjoy a little knitting. I began slowly with squares which I had no idea what I was going to do with. After a Eureka moment they became a pram blanket for my new grandaughter and there was no stopping me!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I6-84wmC-0w/SjTfINwGqlI/AAAAAAAAADM/WYjJJ0N3ZOM/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I knit in quantity but not in great size as I like to see the results come together fairly quickly. Lately I have found I have a little collection gathering which prompted my daughter, who has her own cards and crafting blog, <a href="http://ellephantasticcards.blogspot.com/">Ellephantastic Cards &amp; Crafts</a>, to ask if I would like to have my own blog. This is the result, my five minutes of fame!
