My sheep..

Sitting on my TV Cabinet, Looking ever so cute are my sheep .. The pattern is by Marie Segares, and can be found Here at Undergroundcrafter..
While shepherds watched ..
My grandchildren love them so do a few adults.. They are cute :))
In progress no ears.
Side view..
Fat and cute.. complete with ears.
Well there are many more just calling out to be made,
they are fun and easy, although I did not add the Pop st in the last 2 i crocheted.. I did find that I couldn't watch tellie and make the pattern at the same time.

Now just to let you see what the chef has been up to here is one of his many projects..
Blackcurrant cordial..
With all the small fruits coming on, I know I will be spoilt with beautiful summer drinks and ever so yummy cheeses.
                              Happy Christmas...
"While Shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground.
The Angel of the Lord came down and Glory shone around.
Fear not said He for mighty dread had seized their trouble mind.
Glad Tidings of great Joy I bring to you and all mankind.."
by William Sandy's in 1833 (version 2.. )
