Such a long time since I updated the blog - my apologies.
Remember the fiasco with the beaded tea lights last time, well I decided to look on YouTube and found a useful video and hey presto, here are some more
so it looks as if I may have cracked it!! I am going to make more to give as small Christmas presents.
The other Friday I went Nordic walking on an absolutely fabulous October morning and as we all met at Stanwick Lakes I took some photos of a new totem pole they have put up

| Look at the colour of the sky! |
I am told that the swan changes direction with the wind, though I cannot confirm this. We set off for the village of Stanwick and were delighted to find that they were having a Scarecrow Festival at the weekend so our planned walk went out of the window and we meandered round the village and photos were taken - lots of them

Such fun and brilliantly executed!! A great many more but I couldn't show them all.
Mini mania continues and here is my September offering which was obviously 'Circles'
 |
| Still a Work in Progress |
The only problem is that it measured 9" x 10" when finished and I realised my sewing was not accurate as it should have been a square, so now I have taken it apart to remake it. October's make is 'Squares' and that is complete and waiting for the end of the month.
I was shown this wonderful bunny
and was lucky enough that a friend had translated it from Turkish and for our benefit the American crochet instructions were in English. I had to make it, but having spent all one evening trying to start I managed to get going at Crochet Group with the help of teacher J.

| One foot - now to start the second all on my own |
Amigurumi is not my favourite crochet but I will keep you updated on progress because I am determined to finish this one, however difficult!
