More Nanny Knits


Scott who is now 5 months old, modelling his aran style cardi and hat which I made recently.He seems to think he looks funny in them because he giggled and wriggled while his Mom was trying to take the photos.

Ok Mom enough is enough,I have things to do!


Baby Callum trying out his crochet blanket for size, he is now 3 weeks old and a little angel.
Baby knits are so quick to do, and with 2 more on the way they need to be!

Good Morning, Peggy
You are quite the talented knitter. I love the things you have shown and hope you will show what you make the 'ones on the way'.

Mom, the aran outfit is only adorable. Scott looks so funny in it but he is such a smiler anyhow. Still raving about that blanket, glad I've put my order in for one for our little tot when she/he arrives.

Hi Peggy,
Scott looks adorable in his sweater and hat. Those are cute pictures!
The crochet blanket is beautiful too, as is Callum.
You have a wonderful talent that is coming in handy with those lovely grandchildren.
Have a great day.

Lovely pics Peggy, I used to knit all my babies jumpers and cardies, but they're all grown up now and would rather buy their baby clothes from Next or some such fashion outlet. Do this generation even know how to knit or crochet I wonder? I think not... Tatty

Your blog is very attractive and I enjoyed visiting today. The blanket in blue and green is very tastefully created. Of course the baby is adorable.

SO sweet - and so talented. I think you're being modest when you say 'quick and easy' - can I make a flying visit so that you can teach me??

Faux Stone Trough

Image
The word faux is a really nice word,somehow it does not seem to mean false, just a kind of copy! I had read about making these stone looking troughs or flower pots and again it was on my list of things to try.With my supply of donated flower pots I decided this was as good a time as any.The first pic is of the completed trough or tub filled with compost waiting on plants. I began with a plain white plastic tub, it does not have to be white it can be any colour.Glue ,I used PVA which was painted on thickly and left to get tacky and either sand or I used a mix of small stones and sand, sold in the builders suppliers as 'filling'. It is not a quick job to do as each side is pasted, shake on the sand thickly and press down to dry, I also did the opposite inside edge. I left it overnight each time but if it was sunny and warm it would probably dry faster.The first side drying, when it is dry shake off the excess leaving a thin covering. The final application and it is completed onl...

Tumbling Pots

I have seen these tumbling pots in magazines and blogs from time to time, the latest being in KeeWees garden , having got a number of terracotta pots from one of my daughters who was clearing out her shed I decided to give it a go!They look stunning when the flowers have settled in, I had toyed with the idea of putting in strawberry plants which would also look great but having grandchildren around I don't think I would have a lot of strawberries from it! You need terracotta pots with one central drainage hole and in different sizes. First I had to go to B&Q to get the metal rod to support the pots, I also got the pansies there. Place the pot where you intend to leave it permanently as it cannot be moved easily once completed.Place the rod through the drainage hole and fill the pot with compost, it is easier to fill each pot as you go and firm down well. Slide the second pot onto the rod through the hole, this one will rest partly on the compost as well.Slide the remainder of t...

I am back from a few days in Co Clare.The matchmaking festival is in full swing for the month of Sept,as it is every year for generations.It has become a month long dance and music event also with dancing commencing at 12 o'clock every day in various venues and continuing around the town and outside until 3 am. It was my first visit and I had a ball!People come from all over the world and every county in Ireland was represented.A matchmaker is in residence in this famous pub (where else) and for a small fee will match anyone up for a week or for life! Couples come back every year who have met in Lisdoonvarna and since married! I did not avail of his services preferring the dancing !Lots of videos on Youtube, just type in Lisdoonvarna. The Burren is a few miles from Lisdoonvarna and is a protected area which is now a National Park, what looks at first sight to be barren rock has in fact rare species of plants growing in crevices.It is a breathtaking sight and no single photo could...
