nana's everywhere

Thanks a bunch on all your kind congratulations on my humble success at the Show - you guys are so loverly!

I have now been crowned the queen of the Nana's by most of my nearest and dearest, for not only winning 1st place in a Agricultural Show for knitting, but for winning it for a tea cosy.

One heavily pierced, richly tattooed arty friend of mine has barely stopped laughing long enough to breathe! He remembers when we used to play at the now de-funct Punters' Club, and is having a leettle trouble reconciling past & present! But, hey, I remember him before he learned who Dora the Explorer was! The pendulum swings both ways buddy!

patience, my friends. One day you will need a knitted tea cosy, and we all know who you will come crawling to... (hee hee)

The photo above is my quiet little contribution to Carson's vessel Wednesday. It's a small cermaic dish that my Nana used to put out on the breakfast table when I stayed over night at her house as a small child. She used to pop a little honey in it, just enough for my toast - ahh!

So on this Wednesday night, weary from another long working day, I am thinking "Here's to sweet memories of childhood and a loving Nana that never thought going to that little extra effort for a child was a bother!" (and here's to tea cosies!...and old punk friends...but not Dora the Explorer - that little Spanish miss drives me insane!)

p.s. second Sugar Shack sock is nearly done! yay!! Photos to come...
