I did a spot of baking yesterday. For the first time ever, that I can think of, I used packet mixes. And I shall certainly use them again. It doesnt't detract in the slightest from my own baking skills - they are just so damned quick and convenient! So here is a plateful of mini toffee cookies and Mini Bannoffee Muffins. After two cups of tea, there wasn't many left at all!
Over Easter Weekend I had another go at Crochet. The pattern was a bit challenging for me as a novice, but once you'd got your head round it, it was quite simple and straight forward. Shame I didn't use the right size hook! I did frog it, but with the knowledge that I can do it! I used a mercerised cotton in pinks and whites, which I do wonder whether it lends itself to crochet or not - I'm going with not particularly! I have since acquired a similar colour way in Opal Sock yarn. So I will have another go at doing this. When it's complete it will be a shawl.
As mentioned earlier, on another post, I recently had my eyes tested. My eyes are straining, so I have to wear glasses to take this strain away. The glass of wine is optional!
Yours truly with new glasses!

My, My Miss Carpe,
How intellegent you look with your new glases. I hope the world looks better now. They aren't rose colored, are they?
The world does look better - especially when rose tinted! ;-) They are pink framed though and certainly help a lot when driving!
