My new FAVE book!!

As I missed the Brown Owls crochet night, I decided to have another stab at learning to crochet! My first attempts resembled mini beret's as they kept curling. Plus my fingers ached from not holding the cord correctly.

So, I thought I should probably read some proper instructions rather than just "winging it". This attempt was a miserable failure too (in hindsight, I blame the instructions I found on the Internet).

Then a miracle happened. I bought the wonderful Meet me at Mikes book (here) and within one hour of following Pip's easy directions, I made this little beauty, and even maned to change colours!!!!



The wool I used was some cheapy stuff from BigW but I love it because it changes colours every inch or so.

It truly is the Happiest place on Earth...



Well we're back safe and sound. Mr Honi and I enjoyed a wonderful 31/2 week honeymoon in Hawaii, Vegas and DISNEYLAND!!!!!

I completely loved Disneyland and I can't wait till we have children so we can take them there!

Here are just a few piccies of the happiest place on earth!




I'm super excited about the next few weeks - getting to meet a few more Brown Owls (I've missed a few meets) heading to the Sydney Quilt and Craft fair and finishing off my next quilt. Stay tuned for crafty goodness!!
