| Edward enjoyed the crocheting too! |
As mentioned in
my last post I am now a crafty woman. Six weeks after I learnt to crochet my
first scarf is finished. Lovely Liana who taught me has been continually sending
me encouraging emails and made a lovely beret to match my scarf. The scarf and beret
had their first outing last week when they were worn to dinner. My friends
nearly fell off their chairs when I announced I had made the scarf! Our
daughters think it is hilarious, my husband is proud of me!
The stories for
my great niece are coming along nicely and I have borrowed a number of books
from the library to find out how to make handmade books. I have been an excellent customer in our local newsagency buying all sorts of supplies to make covers.
Work at the
library has been fun as we have had a number of storytime events including
celebrating Hairy Maclary’s 30th birthday. The mums had a great time
and read along with me – they too grew up with these fabulous books.
I have
discovered the Alice-Miranda books by
Jacqueline Harvey and love them. I will now be known as Kerry-Lynn
Hamilton-Malone!
Do you enjoy
reading children’s books? One of the perks I love about my job is waiting
for the new books to come in. Recently we have had lots of children’s books
and they are 'such fun'.*
*Favourite phrase borrowed from
another famous Miranda.
