CALS and Award

I love CALs they stop me from racing ahead, give me time to ponder.  I have completed two more rounds of Kate's Cal Mini Rings of Change.


I was going to do the Moogly 2015 Cal blanket, but when I saw the first square I decided not to as it was very fussy, and looked very difficult.  However when I was reading Kates post today she had done an alternate square that was rather nice! So what to do?  I had already decided to do a blanket using Cherry Heart’s Vintage blanket using Jan Eaton’s book of 200 blocks as inspiration.


 I rather like them and will keep on with it.  However I think I will keep an eye out on the Moogly Squares and see how they  go.


This week the lovely Anna of Annas Simple Crochet awarded me this award.  Thankyou very much Anna.

Following the rules, I have to : follow the blog who nominated me, answer to 5 questions and nominate 10 blogs.

The questions -
1  What would you change in your current situation? Nothing!
2   What you do not forgive? Lying
What would your perfect disguise? Dark glasses they say the eyes are the window to your soul!
 Do you believe in eternal love or is it a fairy tale ? Love with capital letters.
    5  An important song in your life.  Lady in Red can’t recall who sings it!

The blogs-

The * marks NZ blogs.

The cats are in hiding today, as it has been rather noisy here today. 


Ambrose hiding down the back in my wild area!


Lucy has been deep in hiding and just come out for dinner.

Peggy Sue is staying under the bed. She is a nervous cat, she was a rescue kitten and I am sure she was maltreated as she hates loud noises and children!  She will come out when it is dark.

Why the noise?  It is Wings Over Wairarapa Air Show this weekend and the jets, biplanes, etc have been screeching above the town today.

But I won’t let it distract me like a couple of years ago, I was watching planes doing loops while I was pruning some bushes and partially cut off the tip of my little finger! Spending the rest of the day in A&E.   So there will be no pruning this weekend!  Hopefully,  lots of crafting, LOL
.
 Have a great Weekend.

  2. Hi Zana, thanks for nominating me for the award, but I will politely decline if that's okay. As nice as it is to be thought worthy they just remind of those chain letters I used to get in the post years ago and I threw them in the bin. Anyway thanks again, they do have an upside, we get to find things out about people and it's a way of sharing other peoples blogs. I love the first pic, that's so gorgeous. I know someone who lives down you way and he mentioned today about the air show, they fly over his place quite a bit. Great to see it for free eh lol.

  3. Zana, what lovely squares you have crocheted. Your stitches are so perfect! I winced when I read that you cut off the tip of your finger. Yikes! I'll bet that hurt. I recently hit my finger with a hammer, and it still isn't back to normal.

  5. Lovely to read a bit more about you. I love your squares and your rings of change. I went and got the pattern, but I don't know if I will make it considering how many other things I have on the go! Your colours are beautiful together, one of the nicest that I have seen. xx

  6. Great progress! Love your colors. I hope you try the Moogly CAL again, although I like your other CAL, too. I don't have that book, but it keeps popping up in blogland. I may have to get a copy. Thank you so much the award! Blog awards are so fun; I'll be working on a post about it soon. Love all your kitties :-)

  8. Your mini rings is looking lovely zana I like your colour choices and I do like that block too, I had decided to use that one too but I think I would get bored using just one type of block for the whole blanket even though it's beautiful. Good luck with the Moogly block. :) xx
