Blueberries

Well knitted bangle finally completed, lobster clasp and all even though 15 year old son responded "What real one!!??" when I mentioned I was using a lobster clasp.  It was a bit tricky to fit but with a little manipulation achieved result.  In the meantime following a visit to the dump (to get rid of old barbeque that had completely disintegrated - a complaint to the manufacturer warranted I feel), 15 year old son returned bearing gift of 2 blueberry plants to put in the garden.  Now more research is needed as to the best positioning for the plant, want soil and other additional products needed in order to ensure blueberry plants grow.  Picture to follow once planted in garden. 

In the meantime while 12 year old daughter makes biscuits in the kitchen, 15 year old enters living room with favourite lunchtime meal - pasta with baked beans (just doesn't have the right ring to me).  He earlier entered the house having had a water balloon backfire and soak himself rather than his target - supposedly he's not very good at tying knots.  I don't think I'll enlist him to help me with my craft projects then.

I now need to contemplate what my next creative endeavour will be.  More knitting? An attempt at crochet (and that really will be an attempt), using the old fashioned knitting nancy, or do I get my newly purchased jewellery toolkit out and try something more wire based.  Regardless will think about it while I get my paperwork done for work tomorrow - not necessarily the best mother's day pasttime but it's got to be done.

Cricket is on the telly, Arsenal let the supporters down and surely, surely things can only get better.  Anyway, daughter of 12 wants me to check out her bread crumb consistency for the biscuits because she says it's just not coming together.  More later.  Love jayjay
