Review Monday Week 8

I hope you are having a good start to the week!
And I hope everyone that had mothers day yesterday
had a fantastic day!

Little Red is off to visit Skipton Castle today with school.
He is so excited!

I've got a lovely throat infection so am

trying just to rest and get back to a place where I can feel like I can cope.

I'm still in the middle of my crash at the moment

so getting ill really hits me hard.

I'm having to sleep downstairs as I keep 

waking up choking and having an asthma attack.

I prop myself up on loads of pillows but end

up moving down the bed off them in my sleep.

If I'm on the couch I have to stay propped up.

It also isn't nice for hubby if I keep waking him up.

Don't forget if you know anyone
who loves crochet
& has a facebook account
let them know about the crochet addict group.
We only need 9 more members to be able to start the giveaway!
You will not believe the fantastic prizes that there are!

For this weeks review I have something

that I bought to do with Little Red. 

It's a Wooden little loom

I bought mine from ebay 

but you can get equivalents from other shops.

This is only a small loom and designed for children.

I wanted to get something that Little Red would be able to join in with.

With the kit you get 5 small balls of yarn (the red wasn't supplied)

the loom (10.1" by 7.9")

a comb

a shuttle stick

and a plastic needle.

I set up the loom but it isn't too difficult.

Little Red found it really easy to use and was doing it himself

after only being shown once.

I would of preferred to get two shuttles as we had to unwind the yarn

to put another colour on.

The instructions supplied are clear but I don't think they are easy

enough for a child to understand.

Within a couple of minutes we were making something.

As you can see Little Red hasn't finished his first project.

He is only 5 and his attention span isn't quite that good.

I would recommend getting a small loom

for a young child as it makes them feel that

they can make something like mummy does.

I wouldn't of got it any earlier for Ryan as I don't find boys

have as long an attention span as girls.

We are eventually going to make it into a bag.

it make take us the next six months but we will get there.

I have just started reading
The Third Son by Elise Marion

I haven't read much yet but the story is set around
a Prince called Damien & a fiery Gypsy girl, Esmeralda
I'll review it once I've finished reading it.
So far I love the story and it's twists and turns.

 Now it's your turn

have you reviewed anything that you would like to share?
