crochet, crochet, crochet

I took these photos of a few of the amazing crochet patterns in the crochet pattern set that Sconey and I managed to score at a Garage Sale in the weekend. I just love the little hooded jacket - I wish I could make myself one! The 'father and son matching hat & scarf set' is absolutely adorable. And what can I say about 'tommy the turtle'!! The little fruit appliqués are quite cool too. There are also quite a few hideous patterns that belong in the 70s and should NEVER be made again.

Hopefully I'll find some inspiration to crochet something and FINALLY learn to crochet!

I read 'Lullaby' by Chuck Palahniuk last night. It was really good. Disturbing but good. Chuck was the guy who wrote 'Fight Club' (you've probably seen the movie). So thanks Sconey for recommending it. I think I'll read a few more of his books! And - its another book crossed off my 101 books to read.

D started Indoor Football tonight - hopefully their team will have more luck indoors than they have had outdoors!!

visit to the library

D and I hit the library today to pick up a few more books on my 101 list. I've realised that a lot of the books on my list are going to be hard to get and some are just not at all books I want to read. (Obviously I didn't do my research very well). I am going to go through and replace a few on the list with some I'll actually be able to read.

It was a beautiful sunny (but windy) day today so we went for a wee walk along Oriental Parade. It was too cold to stay long but we had fun running along the beach.

Well I'm off to start on my pile of books..
