Sporadically accelerated...

A week of 

getting things done...

Pattern writing
and lots of photo's...

And a week of getting 

lost...

I have had a virus of the horrendous  type...

The kind that makes you cough...then cough some more...
and when you think your lungs have had enough...
you cough some more and you know they have burst...

Now I could have coped with that...
Believe it or not...

But this lurgy bug thought it would give me a double dose of bad luck
and
made me loss my hearing...

after a few tests...

it seems that my "good ear" has lost 20 - 30 %...
and my "dodgy ear" has lost 30 - 50 %...

Now the "dodgy" ear is still "unstable" so they say...
 so
with huge doses of prednisone
it might get better...

In the mean time the prednisone
is making it very hard to
relax...

It is making me very accelerated
and really I think I am pretty accelerated without help...

So many nights I am now sitting up far too late cleaning the house
and crocheting sporadically as I can't seem to concentrate very well...

But if it means that I could get back some of my hearing
it is all worth it...

Any way,
 on the bright side...it means that at least the house is getting clean...lol...

P.S...Thank you all for lovely Granny Hoot love...
and hopefully I will get some time to write out 
a free tutorial for my Granny Biscuits too...

Granny Hoot...

Granny's a Hoot,
In every kind of way.
She dyes her hair,
a different colour everyday.
Stripy socks and flowery dungarees,
She's quite the trendsetter
in a nest of retirees...

This is a re-vamp
of a vintage favorite...






Nothing quite says it like
tea and biscuits...



especially
when they are
crocheted...

The Sisterhood of Seasons...Winter...

Introducing

my new doll

Wilhelmina...

The Sisterhood of Seasons...Winter...

She is quite the cozy little thing...

Not only a lovely fringed hoodie
but an added fringe
on her outfit...



I have added a braid
around the bottom part of the hair...
which makes her look ever so
pretty...



I am not really sure if I will get around to writing the pattern out
soon...
as I did use an unusual "loop" stitch for the fringe
and then cut through them ...
It isn't very easy to explain...without a diagram...
So that will take a while to work out...

But you could just add a simple "hook" blanket loop
and it would look just as nice...

I have been getting into the 1940's swing of late
and I came across a lovely blog called

"Bright Young Twins"

They are well worth a look as
they have very lovely outfits
and lots of vintage finds...

It inspired me this week to make some simple felt flowers...
and adding some victory rolls
my hair and I were
transformed
into the 1940's...

I do hope you all have a lovely
start to your weekend...

whatever season you are in...
