Friday FOs - 27.02.2020

I started a new job yesterday and this week's finished objects are in honour of that job. Here they are.

Santa Themed Drink Bottle Cosy

I decided that a daggy old Cadbury stuby holder just wasn't good enough for my new job.

Comfort Bear No 47 for this year

This Santa Bear is my 47th Comfort Bear for this year. I plan on making a second of these but I don't know if I will be able to as I expect to be quite busy over the next few weeks.

These may be my last finished objects for this year as I will be spending those days that I am not working preparing to move house and then unpacking at the other end.

That's it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

My latest bear is ready for service. I am planning on making a couple of special bears in honour of the job I will be doing in the lead up to Christmas. If everything goes to plan I should be abler to show one of them nexxt week along with the other special project that I am making.

Friday FOs - 02.10.2020

It has been a bit of a rough week with two trips to the hospital, one because of the pain from a kidney stone and today to have a procedure that required some preparation. In spite of this, I still managed to get a bear finished this week, and here it is.

Friday FOs - 25.09.2020

Well, it finally happened, I didn't make a bear last week. A kidney stone stopped me in my tracks and I didn't get it started. This means that I will be one short for the year unless I decide to make an extra one at some time. I have managed to finish obe this week and here it is.

Comfort Bear No 38 for this year

My schedule is going to be thrown off a little next week also as I will be going into Hospital for a procedure that I get done every 5 years. Due to Covid-19 there is a little extra preparation this time and I will be self isolating for most of next week. I an sure that I will be able to get something done but I'm not sure if I will be posting.

That's it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Two Red Birds

A little while ago I finished the second of two Brown Bears as part of the story "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?". Anybody tht has read the book will know that the answeer to that question is "I see a red bird looking at me", so here are the red birds to go with the brpwn bears. The next question is "Red bird, red bird, what do yuo see?" If you know the story you will know what animal I with be working on next.

That's all I have for you for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs 26.06.2020

It has been another slow week without a lot of crochet happening so I have only finished one object this week and it was prettry late today when I finished it so didn't get a daylight photo. Here is my one and only finished object for this week.

Comfort Bear No 26 for this year

Just so you don't think that these bears are the only thing I make, I have worked on another shopping bag and a baby's jacket this week, I just haven't finished them.

That's all I have for you this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs - 19.06.2020

It has been another slow week on the crochet front, not helped by the weather which caused me to slip and fall over. I am a little worse for wear but otherwise fine. I have managed to finish one object this week, and here it is.

Comfort Bear No. 25 for this year

Even though I am struggling to spend time working on my projects I can still manage to finish a bear each week.

I have been handed another project this week which needs to be completed reasonably quickly. My ex-wife wants me to crochet a picot edge onto a baby's jacket that she has made for a friends new born grandchild (born just after 2 am today) so I need to get that done.

That's all from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Until next time, have a good one.

Richard.

Friday FOs - 05.06.2020

This week has been a little different after suffering some serious pain last weekend, pain that I'm not sure that I won't have to endure again. What I can tell you is that kidney stones bite.

My health issues have slowed me down a bit and I haven't worked on many of my projects but I still managed to finish a bear, and here it is.

Comfort Bear No 23 for this year

Another comfort bear ready for service. No matter how bad it gets, I will always do my best to get one of these done each week.

A Project Bag in Cotton

Some of the shopoping bags that I have been using are starting to fall apart and the rest have been repurposed to carry catalogues.

This is the blanket that I normally work on iwhile in waiting rooms. I just need to do one more round and join them which I will start on next time I am in a waiting room now that I have the appropriate yarn in the bag.
