The List of Things to Do

A while back I wrote this list, which I forgot about....I can score some off now I think!

1. Learn to drive and pass a driving test.

2. I want to travel a bit, and see some countries abroad - Australia, America, Italy, Germany, Canada, Europe

3. Save up for a house with Andy, a proper mortgage house.

4. See the Northern Lights - I think the Northern lights are beautiful and I would love to travel to a Northern   country like Iceland, Finland or Norway to see the beauty

5. Visit more places in the UK- I would like to see more of London, and I would love to go to Wales as well! I just want to see more of what is in my back garden rather than abroad lots. I have an idea of doing a small holiday one year, whilst saving up for a big holiday the following year.

6. Have a baby - I am certainly very broody, and have been for the past couple of years now. I want to start planning a family around 2014, as I will be 27 and I think that is an ideal age.

10. I am really into photography, even though I haven't been capturing images recently....but I would really like to sell my photographs.

11. Disney World in Florida with Andy's family - as I think it would be magical!

12. Make more crafty things - this is definitely completed as I love crocheting!!

13. Knit 10 things (completely!).


14. Go on a really cool cruise.

15. See all my favourite comedians!

16. Help a charity - I started helping knit-a-square charity a while back, although I need to get back into it and crochet some squares for them. Ironically this charity is what lead me to learn crochet.


Although I need to think of less travel things and more affordable or free things to do :)

Crochet Heaven

I graduated in July, I have not found a job yet...so I tried my hands at crocheting as it has been intriguing to me. Turns out I enjoy it much more than knitting, knitting is good but it just doesn't have the quick flexible feeling that you get with crocheting.

Crocheting has kept me going in the past few months, I know its only been a little time unemployed but when you have little money its a very nice hobby to have when it costs so little and takes up your time...and is very relaxing. I enjoy it so much I have even tried selling pieces. I made this cowl for a friend as he made a request, and he loves it.

I am really handy at making hats especially beanie hats, I love making them out of chunky wool but sometimes with double knit wool so i can get different colours!

Granny squares are my newest love in crocheting! I remember loving the granny square blanket my mum made me as a kid, and now that I can crochet I am making a comfy chunky one myself! I am also making a granny square baby blanket too!

Although there is a blanket I have seen that I think looks amazing, and I think I may also try making something like it!  It is so colourful, its absolutely amazing...it may take me forever to make, but I can't resist. I found it on Attic24!

I know what I will be doing for christmas presents, as I wont be able to afford expensive gifts...crochet crafting ahoy!
