I was a bit bored last night so I got my crochet out. I didn't feel like continuing with anything I have already started. I wanted to do something quick and easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is based on a pattern I found on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. You can find the pattern <a href="http://kawaiiblythe.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/free-crochet-baby-cardigan-pattern/" target="_blank">here</a>. I added a few extra rows on the bottom half and then a scalloped edge on the bottom and around the arm holes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it turned out quite well. </div>

a rather sad looking Plum Tree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm on a budget of very little to no money for the garden so this was bought for £1.99 in a local low cost shop. I don't even know what kind of plum it is as it wasn't labeled very well. It was the only tree in the shop that still looked like it had some life in it. Obviously I had to rescue the poor tree before it was too late. Hopefully it will now spring into life and give us lots of delicious plums in the future, fingers crossed.</div>

I have recently started planning a new crochet blanket. I nearly have all the wool I want and can get going soon. However yesterday I realised I should probably finish some of the projects that I have laying around before I start anything new. But I have sooo many ideas and want to get going on them lol.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just 3 of the projects I have stashed around the place.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is a Ripple Blanket based on Lucy's pattern <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The coulours don't show up very well but take it from me it is VERY bright :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xA8uLpONtr5IqPSbdHVdEBZxr9FGZymnC9q2zz-9I058t3T_EUVPFdMASaDUYvuRhFB63LG153LuSV46N0_6I6lpJGTUCWn0rNUPVHZKumkdG9W3grNFrWWbXT0vyfd9OrrPIMuxEP8/s1600/IMG00361.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xA8uLpONtr5IqPSbdHVdEBZxr9FGZymnC9q2zz-9I058t3T_EUVPFdMASaDUYvuRhFB63LG153LuSV46N0_6I6lpJGTUCWn0rNUPVHZKumkdG9W3grNFrWWbXT0vyfd9OrrPIMuxEP8/s320/IMG00361.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next project is something I have been working on for a while. When I get a new ball of wool I start by making a granny square for this blanket. Then each coloured square is surrounded by some creamy Aran wool. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNM3xNnuDotZ5dnF2RiGD-2TDPSTz1D0kJ0pBGlGlq9DpXXCu0yeoQLiw2usCc1R4zLYlmE6_pBD7RhHA3PJDFvTOZyHHC_wihi_X6posRvmvegBz1lRmDHdQUofWf7BI7_674zHRV_jA/s1600/IMG00362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNM3xNnuDotZ5dnF2RiGD-2TDPSTz1D0kJ0pBGlGlq9DpXXCu0yeoQLiw2usCc1R4zLYlmE6_pBD7RhHA3PJDFvTOZyHHC_wihi_X6posRvmvegBz1lRmDHdQUofWf7BI7_674zHRV_jA/s320/IMG00362.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last project is going to be a cushion cover. I keep seeing piles of crochet cushions on pinterest and I MUST have my own collection lol. </div>
<br />
So I really should finish at least one project before I start on my new blanket idea.....<br />
<br />

<br />
both need quite some work but it shouldnt take me too long to get them up and running. The Wartime Garden is a dempnstration garden showing a more traditional way of vegetable growing. In the Polly Tunnel Garden I can use more modern methods and grow a variety of different and unusual fruit and vegetables. I can't wait to get started :)Garden Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13835140710285315046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279294651406269899.post-26065824246891377222013-02-09T23:51:00.000+00:002013-02-09T23:51:48.416+00:00Pulp-O-Mizer!<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I literally could be on there all night. The site is <a href="http://thrilling-tales.webomator.com/derange-o-lab/pulp-o-mizer/pulp-o-mizer.html" target="_blank">Pulp-O-Mizer</a> and its awesome! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the site you can create your own Sci-Fi comic book cover. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The geek in me is LOVING this :) </div>

I have been very busy in the last few months. To start with I started selling a few bits of my collection of vintage china. I was selling at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/afternoontwee" target="_blank">Afternoon Twee</a> in Glasgow and really enjoyed being involved with a great vintage fair.<br />

Then out of the blue I was offered the oppertunity to become a full time volunteer at <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/cotehele/" target="_blank">Cotehele House</a> and garden in Cornwall! What a surprise! Obviously I packed up everything and moved to Cornwall. Well maybee not "obviously" its not everyones choice to move to the other end of another country to work for no pay but its exactly the chance I was hopeing for. It has worked out much better than I could have ever hoped. But before I tell you more here are some pics of Cotehele. When I got there all I could think was just how lucky I am!<br />

So life was good in Cornwall and I was really enjoying the work and was setteling in nicely when I was offered a Seasonal Vegetable Gardener at Sissinghurst! SISSINGHURST!!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So after only one month at Cotehele I packed up again and moved to Kent to start work at <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sissinghurst-castle/" target="_blank">Sissinghurst Castle Garden</a>.</div>

I love this time of year, I can let go of things that have happened and put all my energy into a fresh start. Its like a blank piece of paper or a new book your excited but not quite sure whats going to happen. <br />
<br />
The last year has been a year of decision making. I got to a point in my life where I had to make some decisions. What do I want? Keep travelling? A proper job? A home? A family? Well last year was the decider.<br />
<br />
I went for a home and family, something I have wanted to do since I was a little girl. I started renting my own flat last January. Then I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do for a career. Over the years I have picked up many skills and had wide range of jobs. The problem was these jobs were mostly seasonal and only lasted for a few months, so I wasn't really qualified to do any one thing, and nothing I would want to do as a career. Eventually I decided on Horticulture and started an HNC in August, and volunteering at my local national trust property. <br />
<br />
So for the new year coming I am hoping for all my plans to work out and to start a career in horticulture and work on making my own family, but who knows what will happen. <br />

This week it has been quite snowy and at the beginning of the week it was great fun. I got snowed in at my flat and then had a mini adventure trying to get to my parents house. I have missed a week of college but its not the end of the world. So when it rained and washed away half the snow I thought this week things would get back to normal. I got up this morning to this<br />

I searched all of my recipe books ( I have far too many!) and could not really find what I wanted. Then I came across <a href="http://www.pauladeen.com/beta2010_recipes/recipe_view/apple_cinnamon_roll_cupcakes/">these</a> on Paula Dean's website and could not resist.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">They were awesome! </div><br />
But they are definitely a special occasion bake, they are not for everyday.

I found Paula Dean when I was living in Canada a few years ago and loved her style of cooking. The cake turned out well but I think if I try it again I will add a tuch more cinnamon. <br />
<br />
Then It got really cold here with a little bit of frost, so I decided to use up the tomatoes that were left before the frost gets them and made some <a href="http://www.allotment.org.uk/recipe/17/vals-recipe-for-tomato-and-pepper-relish/">relish</a><br />

<br />
Ok, well some background info here would probably be a good idea. <br />
I have recently started an HNC in Horticulture at Langside College in Glasgow. Its only been a few weeks so far but I am really enjoying it. I got my first test results back today and I got 14 out of 15 so very pleased with myself. I have had an allotment for around 5 years now and still trying to fight off the weeds. I am slowly winning the war :) <br />
<br />
Well I think that's enough to start with.Garden Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13835140710285315046noreply@blogger.com0
