What You Doing Wednesday Week 21

Wow half way through the week already!


I still have one white hat left


Yes that means another hat is made up :-)
Here is your sneak peak 

I am making a hat for myself at the moment:
I bought the pattern off etsy.
This is what it should hopefully look like when finished
Crochet Pattern Womens FLAPPER HAT Cloche With Side Pinch Pleats  PDF May Resell Finished
I've bought a number of her designs.

My brother is getting married in November.
It's about time.
I'm finding it a bit daunting as with
it being in the autumn
I am worried about my CFS.
I am really pleased for him and his partner Ali!
I have decided that as crochet is such a big part
of my life I want it to be part of my outfit for the day.
I've picked my dress & have decided to make myself 
a hat, shawl & maybe my bag as well.
I am going to add a small posy of flowers to the hat 
where it is pinched.
I am going to add the same flowers to my bag
& make a corsage as well.
I don't know whether I will manage it all
but I am really looking forward to making it :-)

Little Red's caterpillars are coming along nicely.
They are all now in their cocoons.
Now it's just a waiting game.
They got soooo big before they started their transformation
When they first came
 The size before they started their cocoons
 Them hanging in thier cocoons
Them ready in their habitat.
Just a week to go and we will hopefully
have some beautiful 
painted lady butterflies :-)

I am reading The Bonesetter's Daughter
by Amy Tan
Kindle:
   
Book:
    
The story starts off about a women
and her life as it changes
with some family issues appearing.
It's all about her life at the start
& about who she is.
The story then starts to include
information about
her family that she never knew.
It's a mix of all the emotions
and is beautifully written.

I only started it yesterday & I'm nearly half way through.
It's one of those books that touches your heart.
I'll tell you more about it when I review it.

    1. Yes I must admit when I see them I often look at them to see if it's something I could make. People must think I'm strange looking at their hats :-)
