After reading Erica Knight's excellent book 'Simple Crochet' I decided to make a rag crochet rug from my hoard of old denims for my sons bedroom. Pleased with the results so far but as always denim is hard going on the hands and I have some sore fingers....am resting a while to post here.
I have also decided to have a complete change about in the house. The boys have decided that they want to share a bedroom again which means we all get to switch about....and along with the lack of washing machine which is going to now be delivered on Monday the house is a bit of a wreck! Still it gives me a chance to have a good clean and get in those dusty corners.
I got my new magimix kettle today...now my kettle decision has been a rather long time in the the making. Orginally I really wanted a Dualit but I read so many awful reviews and after my short lived affair with my last expensive purchase didnt want to get caught again so I have spent ages looking for something I liked, got a good write up, I could boil a small amount of water in for eco reasons and wasn't made of white plastic. In the end the 'which' report sealed the fate of my shortlist and the kettle was bought. There's a matching toaster as well but I shall have to wait a while for that one.
