Now that I have deactivated my facebook account I am enjoying spending a lot more time crafting. On Saturday I started to crochet a circle jacket and after many attempts and loads of pulling it back cos it was starting to buckle due to too many increases I am well on my way with it. Unfortunately my thumb and right arm ache like mad as I just couldn't put it down. I am letting it rest for few days and also considering covering my crochet hooks with polymer clay to make them easier to hold. I bought a couple of sets off ebay and though they are good sets they are rather flimsy and bend easily.I am hoping that the polyclay with make them stronger.
On a completely different theme, I have discovered a great way to keep the weeds down in the garden..... EAT THEM..... You think I am kidding don't you :-) I am not. Have a look on you tube, weeds are so good for you. I was more than a little worried when I first added a handful of nettles to my smoothie. I dipped my finger in first, then the tongue and only when I was quite sure that they weren't going to set my mouth on fire did I drink it. Next day I added a handful of dandelions to the nettles for my smoothie... I make a base smoothie with fruit and apple juice and add a handful of weeds to the mix before blitzing it in the blender. I discovered last night that you can eat the skin on Kiwi fruit so the whole thing went in this morning along with an unpeeled peach. I shall report back and tell you if I am suddenly super fit.
Looking forward to seeing your crochet work Cherie.
ReplyDeleteNettle tea is a brilliant antioxidant and dandelions are a diuretic.
Nature provides all the answers :-)
