Hello everyone,
Today I received a lovely book in the mail from Judy..

I totally forgot all about it so you can imagine the fun I have had reading and dreaming of making yet another quilt :)) It has come at the right time too..

Tomorrow the Quilt show is on in Lonnie for 3 days, and you guessed it I will be there with D.S.I.  and my friend Tina...
So just to thank Judy once again and who knows I may even see you at the show... I will be the one wearing an Orchid :)) LOL..
Hope you are having a blessed day :))

Pattern particulars..
I used Panda baby Opal dk.. varigated.
#4mm crochet hook.
Pattern Here at Angel crafts

I was naughty today LOl , I bought a roll of sock yarn made in Germany,, Man I haven't spent that much money on a 100grams of yarn EVER..........................
It had better be good, no it had better be darn great LOL

I have been yapping about making socks for an age now, and it is about time I put yarn to needle or is that yarn to  hook :))
Thats all for now, have a Blessed and  peaceful   Easter..

Soap Nuts..

No I haven't gone nutty, LOL..I will forgive you if you think I have.. :))
A friend told me about this marvellous site on the pc a product (for the want of a better word) to save money and give your clothes a great wash.......

Had to try it ...It works.. :))

 Making the liquid soap..

After using 500 mls of water and about 15 shells , this is what it made.. The nuts can be used in cold water also..

I am pleased with the outcome of these nuts , which by the way can be put into the compost after use. :)) the water can be used on the garden, which is an added bonus in the summer months :))
I don't have any connections with ppl at www.newint.com.au, just passing on infomation I found useful.......................
Have a great week end what ever you may doing :))
