Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Another pic to share with you all tonight, just because I think is so darn cute. Fresca keeps sleeping on a blanket that my mum crocheted for our daughter, so to fix the issue she crocheted one for her too and she finished it today. As you all can witness, Fresca looks very pleased with it ?

I learned to knit when I was in hospital as a kid and then learned to crochet when I was 21 living with an older woman -just renting a room and she had a brand new colour tv but wouldn't use it ! That was when tv's were luxuries .I crocheted coats for my kids when they were in their prams ,they used to joke that I could be a bouncer and do the crocheting behind the door .
 

@Barnfred 55 I meant to post this pic of the sea glass and cold stones that we found in Italy. We found some in France but not as many or as nice. Can you find sea glass at your beaches?

There’s a twitter page Lego Lost at Sea which features Lego and other assorted plastic which is washed up on Cornish beaches, fascinating stuff.

My Dad did all his own sewing and darning, he joined the Navy at sixteen so was used to doing it. Mum looked after parents and siblings from an early age as my Nan was frequently ill. She hated the pile of mending she had to do every week and vowed if she ever married she would never darn a sock again.

I learned to knit in Infant School and my Nan taught me to crochet. Here’s my current project and one I made earlier.02137341-47A6-4A49-998B-6B28DD765027.webpE8625035-497B-4915-948F-1A158B7AE98B.webp
 

Not a bad place for Cal to work ! Love to hear about the small steps you make Fred ,we are all here holding your hand on the long walk .Could you add a pint of cider or two to my list please. We get bulmers here but from the pump is so much better .
The gardens at Bosloe are beautiful. Although it's NT it's for private hire so the gardens aren't open to the public and are a hidden gem. It will be fully out soon so I'll take some pics. Bosloe is where the stores are so Cal and I were down there most days. Fantastic place to go to work.
 
I love a commission…hey steve could you paint me a flamenco dancer
Hell yeah here she is 24 hours in and another day or so before she is done …. I may call it the sassy flamenco dancer
I’ve also moved a studio easel out on my front garden …. Painting in the sun helps me paint happy … so thus one is dedicated to you lady mascoteers x
